I believe that Cain is going to be moving up in future polls and may overtake Perry by months’ end. I am quite comfortable with a Romney v Cain race.
I like Cain and he would a damn site better than Romney.
Yup. What a momentum shift. And I won’t accept Perry’s excuse that he was “tired”. Cain has been running for months BEFORE the Scott Brown’ of Texas came aboard..
CAIN should be the nominee of our party, for so many reasons. Good news. This man is NOT down and NOT out! (as much as the lib media would want it so).
Yeah? Cool! I believe in the Easter Bunny!
LMAO!!!!
8^D
As long as Cain wins it.
“I believe that Cain is going to be moving up in future polls and may overtake Perry by months’ end. I am quite comfortable with a Romney v Cain race.”
Cain may very well overtake Perry in the polls soon, but I don’t know how anyone can say this straw poll shows Romney as the frontrunner. Why? Because he didn’t campaign for it just like he didn’t campaign for Iowa?
Whether they were active with the delegates or not, the fact is that EVERYONE who showed up at these last two Florida debates campaigned for this straw poll. And the fact that Perry tanked big time and the support didn’t gravitate toward Romney, but toward a new ‘anti-Romney’ candidate shows to me what I continue to believe-that this year’s electorate simply will NOT accept a slithering phony chameleon like Romney, who will do nothing when he gets in but protect the status quo and maybe tinker around the edges.
No, we’ve got a republic to save! And our candidate damn well better get the urgency of the situation and have the resolve to make some radical cuts to our spending and changes to our tax code. People moved toward Cain because he -more than anyone else in the race so far-appears to get the urgency and has a solid plan that he can clearly articulate to address it.
As for Perry, I like him. I’m sorry to see him tank like that. And I do think there’s still plenty of time for him to recover, but he needs to do some cramming on debate prep and depth on the issues if he’s going to stay competitive. I don’t know him well enough to know if he can. For now though-I’m happy with this result-but I don’t think it in any way shows Romney as the frontrunner.
If anything, it shows how weak he truly is-because his only strategy is hoping everyone else will fall apart or be deemed ‘unelectable’ and people will decide to ‘settle’ for him cause they want so badly to get rid of Obama. Sorry, we’ve seen this movie too many times before-Dole ‘96, McCain ‘08, etc. We’re not going to settle again on some RINO retread who thinks he’s entitled to the nomination cause it’s his ‘turn.’ There’s too much at stake this time around.
As for me, I’m giving a $25 donation to Cain for starters. I don’t have much cash to spare, but he climbed a big hill to win that straw poll and I think he’s earned it.
