“FWIW, I expect the Romney handlers nudged Cain into the race, just as they did Bachmann, in order to split the conservative vote too.’
And I wouldn’t put it past Obama either to have helped financed the conservative fringe candidates for that reason — through intermediaries.
Recently I saw this article in the WSJ, that in CA, Gray Davis won, because he took out in the primary the R candidate who could have beaten him.
Here is the article:
A California Strategy for Obama’s Re-Election

“So how did Mr. Davis win in 2002? By using his fund-raising prowess to break all campaign-finance records in California political history, and by playing in the Republican field to knock out his strongest opponent.
Mr. Davis raised money from the day he was elected in 1998, despite criticisms from politicos and the press. In 2002, his political team then isolated his biggest threat - the moderate Richard Riordan, the former mayor of Los Angeles - and spent millions on ads to defeat him in the Republican primary.
This effort elevated businessman and former assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Simon, a far more conservative candidate whose positions were unpopular with Californians. Mr. Davis retained a significant financial advantage going into the general election”
Of course they did. Cain already said he would support Romney but “never” Perry..... and yet he “claims” he is a conservative????
But Perry’s every bit as much in on the game as the others. The party is rotten through and through.
Oh, and yes, you’re right, the Dems are scum too!
