I think there are Republicans who can beat Obama, but they aren't in the race. I don't think the true top tier of the GOP is running this time because they don't want to be the Kerry or Dole of 2012.
As low as Obama's numbers are currently, he is still doing better than any of the Republican candidates, but he almost always loses to the 'generic republican.' This crop of GOP candidates won't be able to take back the White House, though I do believe they'll capture the Senate and probably hold the house, but with some losses.
