Sorry no. Let me clarify: in the primary, Cain and Bachmann will get a good chunk of the conservative vote.
If Palin would win the primary, she’d get the conservative vote, but few swing voters. That is why she can’t beat Obama.
I guess it remains to be seen, but I can’t believe that anyone other than themselves and their closest family members could actually think Bachmann or Cain have a snowballs chance in hell of beating Øbama. They are third tier candidates at best. If they truly do not want another four years of Øbama and are the conservatives that want us to believe they are, they will get out of the race the second Sarah announces that she is in and throw their support to her.
