Good, I hope Perry spends it all destroying Romney

Well, none of the others are going to do it.

Gave my $9.99 yesterday via his website. First donation for me all season. I am on board the Cain Train!

Oh sugar, I suggested this 2 days ago, I started a trend, it is all my fault :-)

[Eccl 10:2]

may God multiply it a 1000x.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

From your lips to God’s ears. We all know He can do such things.

He will need close to that to compete with Obama’s war chest.

Of course, perhaps God will look upon Cain as he did the widow with two copper coins.

Ephesians 6:12

New International Version (NIV)

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

"Cain does not seem to be helping himself very much by what he is doing and where he's doing it."

Surely you JEST! LOLOLOL. I have no doubt that Rick Perry would gladly trade bank accounts with Herman Cain if he could change places in the polls.

Cain raised 2 million in 2 weeks. While I agree that Perry did as well or better during his run-up, I doubt he is doing quite so well, now. Gold doesn't necessarily get you good soldiers, but good soldiers will get you gold. At this rate, Cain will be matching Perry and Romney in the money battle well before the primaries are underway. That will take care of the advertising battle. The ground game is taking care of itself.

Here is an example of why you are wrong. IndyLindy reported the other day that an Indiana radio station asked the Perry campaign to be on for 10 minutes. His campaign declined. Then, the station asked Romney. Declined. They asked Cain and he came on for 10 minutes, and they held him over for more time. Not only did neither Perry or Romney take advantage of this free media, they allowed the opportunity for Cain to do so. That goes far beyond money.

You complain that Cain is in the wrong place to win. Is he? He seems to saturate the airways no matter where he is. He came to College Station, TX, where I live, a week ago. During that 24 hr period, I saw Cain on no less than 6 talk shows/media outlets. And that was just the ones I saw.

Which is why I’m guessing we’ve sold a large number of them. Aesthetically repugnant. Many thanks for the support.

[Grunthor]

Do you think that Iowa is the ONLY state he needs? He’s not a Pat Robertson or a Jesse Jackson pinning all of his hopes on one state.

I am going to say this now. I talked to my 80 year old parents today who have always been conservative.

I asked them, “who will you vote for”, Don't flame me for this, but they said Ron Paul.

I asked them why. They said because they are sick and tired of sending troops all over the place for democracies that were never going to happen.

I think they think what they do because they are far from being neocons.

The GOP has lost touch with these people. My whole family has served in the military. They can no longer support this “send troops anywhere any time” idea.

What this tells me is that the election 2012 will be very unconventional. I think the GOP has split wide open and is a festering boil.

Herman needs to touch these folks soon.

Yet Cain said that he would be happy being Romney’s VP.

I just got this link from another recent post (from the FEC). Check out the money but especially the daily burn rate. Stark contrast between Cain and ROmney..
