I haven’t watched it and won’t need to.

explain this CAIN outburst. Is it cuz the folks here are young and haven’t seen this act before? Or is it futile? The right has deteriorated into fringe city.

I believe it is futile to fight splintering. We don’t have a real candidate in the race, yet, so I guess they chase after today’s novelty. I was not here in ‘08. I suspect there wasn’t much interest in Fred Thompson until Tancredo, Brownback, Duncan Hunter dropped out in the fall. By then, it is usually too late as FRED found out.

As far as I am concerned, In the real world, I wish to have nothing to do with the fringie activists. Spending an entire year with the Pat Buchanan activists was nauseating. It cured me for life.

Why I’m not excited about Herman Cain:

=Because running for PREZ is not an effective way to start a political career
=Because fringe right-wing candidates help the RINO/establishment to splinter the grassroots, giving us a ROMNEY vs DANIELS race next year.
=Because the RINOs want to select the nominee cuz they like power, the grassroots want an exciting candidate to give them an interesting year. Nominating the guy is not a priority.

RINOs will win again.

Excuse me.

Herman Cain ran for Senate in GA. It just so happened that he did not win the Republican primary. He was a serious candidate, however.

He ran against RINO Republicans, but these are more like stealth RINOs not proud, card-carrying ones such as we have in some other states. If a lot of folks could have their vote back I’m willing to bet they would give it to Herman Cain.

Cain isn’t fringe.

If by fringe you mean not well known nationwide and not scoring in the polls, that’s easily overcome. If by fringe you mean a nutcase or the like, that’s just wrong.

Thanks just the same, but if we choose, we can make Herman Cain into a force to be reckoned with. I said we can, not we will. I hope we will, however. What you could do is just get out of the way.
