In 2012, GOP candidates have soared, failed and fallen from favor faster than ever before. From Michele Bachmann to Herman Cain to Rick Santorum, it seems every candidate has embraced the title of GOP front runner at one point or another since the beginning of the campaign cycle. Pundits have speculated that Mitt Romney will eventually earn the nomination, but the volatility of the 2012 GOP race points to one other possibility, no matter how small it may be; The eventual GOP nominee hasn't entered the field yet.
"It's a pundits' pipe dream, but it's as likely as it's ever been," says Larry Sabato, the director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia.
