I really don’t want to tear into the various candidates, but I believe this is a serious game with political insiders pushing their candidates hard and tearing into the others.
My operating assumption is that the powers that be in the GOP want Romney.
But there’s been a big push for Perry in the last month or two. Is it to replace Romney or suck up conservatives so their votes will be split between Perry and others so Romney wins?
My guess is the latter.
Sarah Palin is probably the strongest candidate in the GOP field who is authentically an outsider.
She would really change things in Washington instead of just slowing down the debt and spending slide.
Well, there’s certainly alot of speculation about the scenarios you suggest.
Romney is the anointed establishment candidate, it’s his turn in their world.
That being the case, the establishment’s job will be to tear Perry down and keep Palin out.
I sure don’t want Romney, so somebody has to beat him. Bachmann is toast, so Perry, Palin if she runs, or even Cain will have to get it done. Anyone of those three is fine with me.
