The Times has a story out today about how some Republican voters are less than excited about the 900 candidates running for President.

Interviews with dozens of Republicans across the country this Labor Day weekend found that despite the already lengthy campaign, which started almost a year ago, many candidates have made either no impression or a negative one, and many voters are still chewing over their options.

The news isn't all bad.

Some voters have spent a lot of time educating themselves on the candidates, and have examined the candidates' stands on important issues of the day, such as the war in Iraq, the US economy, etc.

Wayne Horton, 53, who works in construction as a house framer and lives in Burton, Ohio, has been mulling the field and has decided he likes Mr. Romney because he looks presidential, but worries that some people may oppose him because he is a Mormon.

Mr. Thompson? “I really don’t know much about him. I’m not that informed. Really, I just rely on TV and what my wife tells me from reading the paper, and then we talk about it over supper. We’re out trying to make a living, so we rely on the media to tell us about the candidates’ qualifications.”

That's just awesome.
