Have you noticed how eager the Republicans are to face Obama in the election? [View All]

I have been struck by how every one of them that I have heard talk about it on TV has said they think Obama would be a formidable opponent. I wonder why they are all trying to give the impression that Hillary would be easy for them to beat? I just this morning saw both Tucker Carlson and Peggy Noonan singing the praises of Obama. Has anyone else noticed the same thing? Do you think they are trying to influence the Democratic vote for the remainder of the primaries?
The reason I'm suspicious is because I think if they really did want to face Hillary Clinton, they would not ALL be saying it.
