I think that Cain, without Palin (God I hope not!),may be formidable. The problem is that one-on-one, Romney’s cash will defeat him. He has never won an election, and since there has been little pressure on him thus far, we have no idea whether he’s susceptible to cracking. We KNOW that no one can crack Gov. Palin. For me, it’s looking more and more like she will be the nominee, and next President, if she runs. Bob
Are you SERIOUS?
You are talking about a man who grew up in segregated South, who LIVED the civil rights era and all that entailed.
Who worked his way up in companies against the odds.
Who came out as a conservative against an avalanche of opposition - do you have any idea how hard it was to be a black conservative decades ago (from both sides)
Who beat cancer, against the odds.
Who hosted a radio show and received so much hate mail and hate calls he started keeping a long list on his studio walls.
Who had to go everywhere with security before he ever announced his run.
You have not been following him, he has been verbally attacked, slandered, and has threats on every side, including those who should be on his side, the media just does not publicize this like they did Palin.
How dare you suggest this man is “not up to snuff”. I would never suggest that of YOUR candidate. He was fighting these battles while Palin was still in high school.
Palin has had her hard knocks, but she also has had several out there who regularly defend her. Herman gets attacked from every corner, from every group except (it appears) Bachmann supporters.
Sorry, my post is not meant to you but to everyone here who is suggesting that Cain is somehow weak and untried!
