Colin Powell, Condi Rice - you’ve GOT to be kidding. Two of the ruling class elite. No thanks.
Palin / Cain
100% Woman / 100% Black
“Rock you like a HermanCain”
Cain/West
I don’t support them.
I’m just saying they’re
1) black
2) well known enough to win in 2012
Okay whatever. I don’t think there is a one of the people you mentioned that is a worthy general.
But go on ahead and thing what you like. LOL
That’s true...but if Cain keeps wowing the right, he may scare the media into attack. I know that any comments I’ve seen about him by libs have been scathing and classic liberal blah-blah-blah (”a five point plan for failure”...because he wants to cut the corporate rate, do away with capital gains, etc.)...
Tough to say what the media will do. Palin pretty much called them out in her speech, which is why I think they’ve been chewing on her ever since. Cain is not exactly quiet and reticent...
“thing what I like?” LOL right back atcha...
I think you are missing the point. Herman is similar to the Huck was four years ago. A second/third tier candidate with a lot of charisma. Where they are different is that Herman has better ideas and really understands what we need to do to get the economy going.
This was no fluke. This guy is real. I have listened to him for years and he will impress every time he is given an opportunity. This was perfect for him because there were not any “big names” present. If you had a dozen people on stage all people would talk about would be Palen vs Romney etc. Herman would not have been given a second look. When he keeps impressing people...and he will...he will naturally move up to the 2nd and finally to the top tier. Cajungirl will say..”hey, he’s just what we need, where has he been hiding?”. 5th place??? only to people that hadn’t seen him.
The media may well have determined to their own satisfaction that Palin could beat Obama without much effort.
Once they determined that, their goal became hurt Palin.
They might treat Cain like Ron Paul in 2008 - best to keep ignoring him.
The likelihood is that the media determined that unfamous Republicans never win. And Hermain Cain isn’t saying anything particularly new, so it’s not like they’re worried about his message getting out. I would think that they’d hype or not hype Cain depending on what electable Republican he’d be taking votes from.
