Republicans May Be Skipping 2012 Presidential Run ???? O_o

After reading this article I can't help but wonder what the Republican party member's are up too. Besides why would members of the party openly say this to The New York Times that they might not run in the 2012 election. I guess I just want to know why all of a sudden potential Presidential candidates are having a change of heart? What do you think about Republicans not running? Do you feel that this maybe a publicity stunt? http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/26/why-republicans-may-skip-2012-presidential-run/?partner=rss&emc=rss
