The reason I supported Romney in the 2008 primaries was three fold: he had public, private, and non-profit sector experience...he was able to win in a Democrat state, he was able to find success in the private arena, and he took over a messed up Olympic program and turned those into a winner.
Though Cain, AFAIK, doesn’t have the public executive experience Rom had, I think his ability to be voted as a leader of his peers (IIRC he was Pres of the National Restaurant Association) and his work as an entrepreneur make him an ideal candidate—someone who knows what it is like to build a business, run one, and be in charge of a large organization.
Thanks for asking.
The reason Romney was able to win in Mass. was because he was liberal through and through, rabidly pro abort, pro homo, pro illegals, pro everything that was liberal. When it became politically necessary for him he did a complete flip flop on every issue.
I personally don't care who you supported in '08. that was then and I hope you are not or will not support him in '12. You like Cain, I do too but he had questionable judgment in '08 concerning Romney and in my opinion you did too but you're not running for president.
Right now I'm loving the thought of Palin's candidacy but there are other good people out there whom I could support. I'm by no means ready to say, "Palin or nobody'.
I want to see Obama or whoever the dem candidate is, go down in flames but not at the cost of electing Romney. In that regard I'm like so many others here, I will never vote for Romney, no matter what.
