Cain = For America.

Perry = For Mexico.

Romney = For Milt.

I'd love to see ANY strong conservative over a RINO or Country Club Repub.

While I think Cain has what it takes to be Pres I also think he'd make one heck of a VP. VP's need to be the "attack dog" and Mr. Cain does/would not hold back.

A debate between Cain and Bamster OR Biden would be epic and priceless.

I can’t see any possible way Texas will go for Obama regardless of who the Republican candidate is. Obama is universally despised here.

“Once the delegates got over the can’t-get-elected hurdle, a close contest became a landslide for Herman Cain.”

I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed that the rest of the “little people” across the country come to the same conclusion.

The media is already trying to shape the election by picking Perry and Romney as frontrunners early.
This poll is a slap in the face of the media who are trying to tell us what to think.
This is great.

"One other factor should not be underestimated. Yes, the delegates liked what Cain had to say. But how he said it was just as important. With his deep, booming voice and a style that any motivational speaker would envy, Cain can give a rousing speech, and he gave several of them during four days in Orlando. No other candidate, frontrunner or back of the pack, could match him. It's not an exaggeration to say that his power as an orator sealed the deal for hundreds of delegates. They believed Cain was speaking to them from the heart, and they were carried away by it. As with the Democratic primary contests of 2007 and 2008, never underestimate the power of a stirring speech."


Imagine how effectively he could use the Presidential bully pulpit.

I like Cain as Palin/Cain. However I like Palin’s Ideas lots more. He was always my # 2 but it Sarah Gets in (and I pray she will) she is my choice. If not...I will go Cain.

Are you saying a conservative can’t win in Texas? That’s news to me. I don’t see any reason why Texas would not support a conservative candidate like Cain, do you? And if you do, what reason could you possibly come up with that has Texas voting for Obama over a rock solid, absolute TEA Party conservative like Cain?

The dems and media want Perry or Romney.

Rubbish. Show me evidence that either the media or dems want Perry.

If so at least he’s a right boob and not a left one.

Actually I just couldn’t pass up the pun.

Anyway, personally, I’m quite fond of boobs.

LOL ... I understand completely.
About 59% of my own posts require clarification later.
Maybe it's because I moved to the South and started putting Kahlua into my 3rd cup of coffee.

Here are two I’ve learned,

1. Don’t post when I’m in a hurry to go somewhere.
2. Don’t post while chatting over my shoulder with my wife.

The “I have already previewed or do not wish to preview this composition.” check box is too tempting.

PS - My wife just got home.

Yep if we nominate anyone but Perry, then the Texans will all get mad and vote for Obama. Got it.
