Are Republicans reluctant to take on Obama?
With two more Republicans dropping out of the 2012 presidential race, and others still holding back, the field of candidates to take on President Barack Obama has yet to take shape. Why?
Usually by this stage, and especially in recent years, the race for the White House would have a wider field of candidates, campaigning and raising funds before the primaries begin early in election year.
Only a few credible candidates have formally declared their intention to run in 2012, while others like Mitt Romney are exploring the option and almost certain to run, without yet officially joining the race.
Some believe it's the slowest start for nearly 20 years, when a relatively unknown governor from Arkansas, Bill Clinton, emerged from the pack to unseat President George HW Bush.
