So, is the GOP on the path to extinction?
A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll of Americans suggests maybe:

The state of the Republican Party remains grim. Just 22 percent of those surveyed identified themselves as Republicans.

So how did it get to this? Our analysis shows many sources are examining the recent bad publicity of Mark Sanford and John Ensign, although the affairs aren’t the only mishaps GOP leaders are dealing with.

Politico recounts the woes of major potential Republican presidential candidates for 2012.

A party seen as being dominated by older white males has seen two of its most prominent nonwhite guys do damage to their political standing.

The already-polarizing Gov. Sarah Palin has suffered a series of mishaps, seen her approval ratings in Alaska plummet and generally become as much tabloid personality as serious politician.

And Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, while not as significant as the others, is still trying to put a poor State of the Union response performance that triggered comparisons with Kenneth the Page behind him.

The New York Times has more on GOP presidential hopefuls:

Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker, had to apologize for a post on Twitter in which he called Mr. Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, “racist.”

Another possible Republican presidential candidate… Gov. Jon M. Huntsman Jr. of Utah, fell out of contention when he accepted Mr. Obama’s offer to become ambassador to China.

So who, of the major GOP leaders, has been left unscathed in the previous months’ serious of controversies and mistakes. MSBNC says there is only one: Mitt Romney.
