I'm not calling you a Romney supporter.

I am curious now that Perry has been severely crippled where you think conservatives should go from here?

Believe me, I am open for suggestions and am looking for some rays of hope.

Having a very hard time seeing them right now though.

I know you weren't accusing me of being a Romney supporter, I think you're smarter than that. The troublemaker in this thread posted to you about me so I included you in my response.

I like Cain and he has an enormous advantage over the other candidates in that he would get much of the black vote. I also believe he would get much of the independent vote just as Obama did in 2008. Given these factors I think he defeat Obama and he is by far more conservative than Romney or Perry ever have been or ever will be. But it is early still, a point that I have made many times in Perry threads -- so there is no need to support any lesser conservative at this time. If Cain doesn't go anywhere I'll go from there but I would never and could never vote for a pro-abortion candidate and Romney is a pro-abortion candidate.

Don’t count Perry out yet FRiend.

He has never lost an election and he can be pretty fiesty. He is obviously having a hard time getting his sea legs under him with these debates but he is still a strong candidate despite all the hatred on FR.

I don’t hear ANYONE express admiration for Romney in my little world and I enjoy talking politics with folks. I am also a Southern transplant and doubt the South will not embrace Romney.

The media has been a non-stop barrage of negative stories on Perry and the only mentions of Romney build him up. It’s McCain all over again!
