I don’t think Romney “escapes clean” from this. I think if Cain and Perry end up destroying each other’s campaign, the likely candidate to pick up their support wouldn’t be Romney. I’m thinking Newt; maybe Bachmann or Santorum.
Please don’t imply that Perry has a part in this destruction.
It is all on Cain’s side.
For some reason we have yet to know, Cain despises Perry.
First the Rock interview on Meet the Press. That bothered me at the time but I thought maybe Cain was just unprepared for a gotcha question but he went a little too far in his implication that Perry was racist.
Then the really odd announcement (why, why, why?) that he would consider being veep for anyone but Perry.
That seems to me to be a shout out to Romney—who else had a real chance at that point?
Then this final debacle of accusing... with no basis or proof of any kind ... Perry of leaking this story.
What’s going on?
Obviously Cain is trying to destroy Perry for some reason but I’ve heard nothing of Perry trying to destroy Cain.
If you have any facts, you might want to share.
