CAin has no depth. He is clearly winging it, and probably suprised more than anyone that he’s come this far.
Many of here on FR like the man, but please let’s get real. He’s be good in any admin, maybe the VP. But he is not the best out there.
Romney did quite well again. He has considerable energy, whereas Newt comes across at times as a good laxative. I mean he more the statesman than an energetic leader.
Right now a great ticket would be Romney/Gingrich IMHO
I will for sure be getting the onslaught from the Romney haters in T minus ten minutes....
Cain doesn’t have foreign policy experience. Neither did Barack Obama.
He can hardly mess things up worse.
As for Romney, your pimping him won’t win you any friends on this forum.
Not from me—excellent analysis, even though I do not like Romney at all (I live in Boston).
If Romney had his own flair but Gingrich’s intellect and Cain’s conservatism, we’d have something. But we don’t have that.
I believe Romney will be the nominee, and I will vote for him. Whatever the flamers say, he isn’t stupid. It’s just that he has a spine of Jell-O. Here in Massachusetts, he was proudly for gun control...and then he wasn’t. He was proudly pro-abortion...and then he wasn’t. Gay marriage?
I don’t think he’s dumb, I don’t think he’s evil, but I don’t think he is anything but yet another country clubber who believes in ‘managing’ the country. I do think he might be better on the economy, which we need, but that’s a faint hope, and on other things that are important to me, he isn’t the dynamic, powerful force we need to turn things back after Obama.
I usually don’t even care about things like that last point, but there are times when a country doesn’t need just a president, but someone with a strong, different vision and the ability to articulate it and carry it out. Romney’s not that by a mile. But then, none of these people running, and none of those who might have run, is that person.
We don’t need messiahs or celebrities in the White House, but we don’t need the vacuum with a haircut that is Romney. And this is who I’ll end up having to vote for.
Ugh.
Too many Republicans have no idea what that means ~ in fact, the problem is currently at serious disease stage in the leadership ranks.
We won an historic election last year that turned back decades of Democrat corruption at the state level, and we retook the House!
Irrespective of whether you think he did a good job at it or not, he was there when we won but the top dogs decided they no longer liked Mike Steele and they instead wanted Preibus.
As I predicted Preibus would be the captive of the old money classes and would be ineffective. You'll notice that this latest election this year was not the sweeping victory we had last year. Not that we ran out of targets, but somebody at the top ran out of gas. They just stood there and let the Democrats dominate the discussion.
That's not how a winner does things ~
Cain is used to winning. Gingrich certainly relished the idea and took back the House after half a century of Democrat abuse of power.
But the others? Are they winners, or cavers?
Can we get a new RNC Chairman who cares about winning?
Go vote for obambi. Oh, wait. You probably did.
Cain is not “winging it”.
Cain has a good grasp of policy and issues, if people would just take the time to learn about him instead of spouting liberal and RINO talking points:

Can you tell me why any conservative should vote for Romney? What policies, positions, ideas, etc. have drawn you to him? What about his stance on abortion? Romneycare? Make a thoughtful, well reasoned argument for him.
