Cain vs Unable

You sir, may have just coined Mr. Cain's signature campaign slogan. I love it!

No, the only story here is that unlike Romneycare, Perry spent a ton of money and put in the effort to win this poll, and lost badly.

he’s counting on the non republicans to get him the nominee like Mc Cain did or the socially liberal elitist half baked pretend conservatives up in the north east

Cain Eviscerates, Utterly Destroys, Crashes, Kills, Annihilates, Demolishes, Eradicates, Exterminates, Extirpates and completely Wipes Out Perry and Romney........ as well as everyone else on board.

Perry and Romney were seen holding hands and crying their eyes out.

Off in the distance Obama could be heard screaming, “But I’m Black, I won, I’m beautiful and damn it— I AM BLACK!!!”

“If you add Perry and Mitt’s percentages, they combined barely beat Cain. That is pathetic for both of them.”

Cain 37%

Mtyh Romney 14%
Perry 15%

15 + 14 = 29; 29 is less then 37 by 8 points.....

>>> Sarah’s my #1, Cain #2. If Sarah doesn’t jump in I’m on the Cain Train.

I’ve been thinking for quite a while that Palin is more interested in the VP slot.... but strategically speaking, sitting out is not a very smart way to get it...

Unless of course her shoulder has already been tapped... (Cain maybe?)

From what I’ve seen, Cain has the fire in his belly.

The two biggest lessons for me in ‘08 was 1) Huck organizing thru the churches in Iowa right under everyone’s noses to win the caucus, and 2) McCain taking the whole shooting match after literally being dead in the water just a few months earlier. It taught me that conventional wisdom is often idiotic and to never get complacent again about the nomination process.

I think this one’s going to have alot of twists/turns/surprises too.

“Perry in deep trouble”... they forgot to add “Romney needs to start packing for home”.

“frontrunner Rick Perry is in deep trouble. “


Anyone else see the obvious illogical slant in this statement?

We are having a race. Explain to me how the one that is in the lead, that is to say “ahead” of everyone else, is the one that is in deep trouble?

But he’s not BLACK. He’s mulatto...only HALF black.

Must be hard for pure blacks to vote for a half white guy
since we know how racist they can be.

Yep and Conservatives are going to have to fight like heck to win this one. 0 and the Progressives are not going to go without a fight. Thing look good now but it is a very long way to election day.

There is nothing stunning about this. We are in the era of anti-incumbency. So people are going to vote for outsiders.

Excellent point and then add to it the typical Chamber crowd argument that roofing in the hot sun, brick-laying,dish-washers,etc will not be done by the Americans so if we follow Perry’s idea of providing instate tuition plus grant monies who the h*ll will they have to do these jobs if EVERYBODY IS DESERVING OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION? We need to rethink this silly mantra in this country and get Americans back to work with a fair wage for manuel skill sets.
