Perry is distant third in all the polls. So if the 3rd place finisher "throws it to Romney" as the Perry camp around here keeps claiming then Perry is the spoiler.
I agree, I do not believe it is the 9-9-9 plan that is responsible for his surge. I think people are impressed that he has a specific plan, but that is not the principal element of his rise.
I think the American people are looking for a president to inspire them. Zero insults them, not inspires them.
We need a communicator, a motivator, a man of character. In other words, we need a CEO.
We have folks like Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachmann and others capable of getting the specific tasks done.
What we need is the leader to set the right direction.
Someone who doesn’t necessarily have all the answers in advance (we can’t see into the future to know what all of the questions will be anyway) but someone of integrity who is a solid conservative in all spheres, social, economic and national security and immigration and therefore whose instincts we can trust.
I think he’s surging because he’s the best alternative left after everyone’s hopes on Perry have been dashed. People are desperate for an alternative to Romney and Cain is now the tallest midget left.
So then Mr. Cain in not like the Phony Mitt?
In my opinion, Herman Cain was surging because people were looking for a way to express their desire for Sarah Palin to get into the race. They couldn’t vote for her in the straw polls, and they wanted to express dissatisfaction with the current crop of candidates.
Cain was known as the guy who had no chance to win, and he’s also a pretty good conservative on most issues, so he was a good way to vote “none of the above”.
But suddenly, that vaulted him to the front, which got him the votes of the people who say they are voting for whoever is in front.
Now, we will see if he has sticking power, or if the MSM and other candidates can bring him back down to earth.
I like Cain, but I’m not convinced he can win, and not convinced that a guy who has never dealt with a government executive position, never dealt with legislature or how public policy is set is really the best choice for a President.
I had hoped Sarah would enter and make the choice easy. Now I’m back to deciding whether I want Cain, or Perry (who I think is a fine conservative, I could care less about the minor issues so many here are so up in arms about, but am turned off by his inability so far to articulate his conservative credentials in a debate setting.
I could stand Bachman, but given her meltdown over the Gardasil issue, her penchant for making bold claims that are hard to back up, and her total lack of executive experience, she’s not high on my list.
Gingrich just scares me as being a “politician”, he speaks well, says the right things most of the time, but feels like at any moment he could whole-heartedly support amnesty, or global warming, or even decide he had a “better Obamacare”. And I LOVE Rick Santorum but he reminds me of Mike Huckabee in terms of his “religious fanatic” approach to politics. (I’m not knocking religious fanatics, just his absolute certainty about peculiar points of view comes across as a bit harsh and fanatical).
I don’t expect anybody else to jump in and save the day.
So, I’m waiting for the next debate. If Rick Perry can show me something, I’ll probably send him money. If not, I guess I’ll be on the Cain Train, even though it appears headed for a side track in the end.
I will vote for Romney in a general election, but I won’t be happy about it. That will mean conservatives failed to rally behind and support a “good enough” conservative candidate.
And Mr.Cain is so Right on in his commentary about the Occupiers— They ARE anti-American— they are the BEGUILED— the same Communist Dialectic of the 60’s anti-War bunch.With the Communists and the Muslim Brotherhood/CAIR —with the Union Thugs— and College Professors— And this Revolutionary Administration all pushing for the same blood in the streets violence to distract the people from the EVIL of this current Administration. Hunker down boys the S— is about to hit the fan.
Cain is also not afraid of saying he was wrong or he said the wrong thing.
This is a man who will surround himself with good people, listen to their opinions and chart a direction from there.
That is what a great CEO does.
Anyone else notice the strange article comments from libtards in the MSM outlets? Apparently supporting Herman Cain makes us racists now?!? I don’t follow their logic, but I now know anything I support they will hate. So F em... They are a party of hate...
