This "Cain Train" took off right after Sarah Palin decided she would not run for the Republican nomination for president.
Since then I've noticed that Herman Cain fears no one to the right of him and seems to cherish the fight with those he considers to be to his left(politically speaking).
Do you think that Herman Cain is the (CAIN+PALIN) express because of his conservative values?
Can Herman Cain win if Palin won't endorse a candidate in the primaries?
Do you believe Herman Cain has proven to be equal or better than Palin as a conservative?
Finally, Why as Herman Cain risen so fast while Perry has plunged in the polls?
I’m never going to vote for Palin!
I can’t stand professional quitters!
Professional quitters are quitters who get paid, then quit!
I think you are 100% correct. At least you are in my case.
Also, listening to Cain just a few minutes ago on Hannity, I got the feeling from him that he is not afraid of the ‘nuts’ out there. I really think the Palin’s got completely scared to death about mom getting Gabby’d after all Palin is light years more controversial than Giffords ever was.
Basically, I now believe the gd left just simply beat the crap out of the right in their attacks on Palin! “We” (the right) just simply did not counter strong enough the attacks on Palin. So, the left WON! They, and that Arizona nut, literally scared our candidate out of the race!!! And, from now on, they are going to Palinize every candidate we EVER put up !!! Why?!....because it works!!!
The comparison I was commenting on was Palin with Reagan. As for Cain and the rest of the current Republican field, I don't have a favorite at the moment. They all seem like lightweights to me.
Cain’s climb in the polls did not take place until after Palin announced she was not running - this is false.
Cain did not actually overtake Romney in the polls until after Palin announced she was not running - this is true.
Did Cain get a bounce from Palin backers going to his side after Palin’s announcement? I’m sure he did. The point I’m making is that Cain’s rise was not predicated on Palin choosing not to run. Cain was rising - and rising fast -before she made that decision.
I agree.
I’d like to add, Cain shares with Palin the appearance of genuineness and sincerity. So if (in contrast to Palin) he’s actually a professional bulls**tter, he’s real good at it. As of now, I support him for the White House.
But I was not comparing Palin with Reagan. They are very different politicians with totally different life experiences, and they are the products of very different eras in America.
I wasn't comparing them job for job, term for term etc. They are both totally unique. I'm saying that Palin is OUR GENERATION'S Reagan. The Conservative Banner Carrier that no other politician can match.
I think she could campaign and win. I personally think she isn’t running because she is putting her family first. Where the Rookie and Wookie’s children are off limits to the vermin left/media, they would have a field day shredding every aspect of Sarah’s kids lives.
