Reagan beat Carter like a drum in 1980 because people don't like to suffer their own economic misery.
Wallet first. Party second.
Shall I post for you the Cain flubs?
Here's one.
"Herman Cain Flubs Mideast Policy on Fox"
There's more...
Darn, just shoot all of them—there’s not a good one in the bunch. If we forfeit now we can save all kinds of money.
AS much as I admire and respect Herman Cain, I honestly don’t believe he can beat Obama
At this point I think my dog could beat Obama. Could Cain beat Hillary? Could Palin?
I thought it was Tom Delay who wanted to be an ally
i am sure Sarah thinks it needs to be fixed no Dem will tell you that but Sarah will tell you it has to be fixed. I will fix and If I do not you have the ballot box to get rid of me.
Like it or not, Palin is kingmaker.
If she announces she is not running, Mitt Romney is king. :(
And we need Rubio for veep. That'll kill the Dems for sure--will attract a lot of hispanics and you have to admit he's darn near perfect in every way.
Why not make Cain secretary of Everything? We have too many cabinets, let the Godfather gather all of them under a few secretaries, with Cain at the top.
Sarah spent 3 years working and learning about all what she did not know well when she was running for VP - she did her home work.
It may well be true that she did her homework, but who's to say that Cain hasn't done his homework equally well? What you're speaking about it studying / learning, and I rather doubt you have any hard evidence to show that she's done a better job than Cain in that area.
PLUS her executive experience as governor of a state...[snip...Do you sincerely think that Cain knows ANYTHING about all that?
It's certainly true that Palin ran a state and Cain did not. However, consider that in this election the economy is the key issue...and Cain's executive experience appears more "on point" in this area than Palin's. I will grant you that she can point to the fact that she knows how to pull the right levers to make government work, though. She can probably also persuasively argue she's a superior candidate with regard to foreign affairs.
2 degrees - one of them in math, much business success in which he worked his way to the top in the corporate world - can’t sneeze at that.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been a rabid Sarah fan but other than 2 excellent years as governor I don’t think her history matches Cain’s.
My favorite thing about Sarah is how she has thrown out corruption whether it was on the right or left and how she has stood up to these repulsive merciless attacks on her and her family.
We have no idea about that. Know why? Because she isn't running and taking random gotcha questions from the media. She makes appearences on the FOX News channel where they are friendly to her. Let's see what happens when she has to hit the Sunday morning shows.
I really don't care about Gov't experience. Palin only had 3 years of statewide experience anyway. This election will be about one thing and one thing only. Jobs. Cain created them, Palin didn't. Simple as that.
Objection, calls for speculation...
How did I do counselor?
Texas' tuition rate requirements are not even remotely close to being on the radar of issues people have right now. If Rick Santorum has an issue with what Texas does, he can leave his perch in DC, move to Texas and try and make a difference. In the meantime, Texas will continue to do what Texas does: remain the best place to do business in the United States.
There’s nothing wrong with being pro a particular candidate. Palin’s supporters simply believe she’s waiting for the right time to enter. There are people that are only Perry supporters, Cain supporters, Bachmann supporters, Paul supporters, etc. It’s part of the process. At least some of us will eventually have to choose a new candidate. That’s what primaries are for.

Sarah Palin’s agenda and mine are like two rails of the same track. Very much congruous and parallel. However she needs to get in pronto, start developing a nationwide organization, establish structure in every state, and start major fund raising.
But if she decides not to get in, I do have an extremely viable candidate in Herman Cain. He will receive my campaign contributions.
Any one’s guess what percentage of black vote he gets if the nominee? He has to hurt 0Bama on his 94% constituency.
Here's a couple of ideas, Granny.
Why don't you address your post to the poster who started the shooting??
Better yet, since you've been constantly shooting at Palin, why don't you try to live by your own standards?
It isn’t about how long one has served, but, how well. Her record is nearly impeccable in that area.
Consider how popular Clarence Thomas is among black voters and you'll have your answer. ;-)
I'm guessing Obama will get 90%+ no matter who the GOP nominee is.
“If Palin, rather than Cain, had won”
Palin wasn’t on the ballot, genius.
What’s your hurry? For her to enter now, gives the MSM more time to beat up on her. Right now, they are focusing on the others. Sounds like a good strategy to me.
