Just as Perry torpedoed Bachmann’s campaign, Cain is now sinking Perry’s campaign. Romney will be the last man standing, much as McCain was in 2008. History repeats itself. The GOP almost always goes with the runner up to the last campaign like it did with Ronald Reagan, Bush Sr, Bob Dole, and John McCain. Last time the GOP went with a dark horse out of the blue was Wendell Willkie in 1940. It just doesn’t happen very often.
Herman Who?
Remember the Jimmy Who? campaign that eventually led to Carter’s election? Maybe we need a Herman Who? campaign.
I like him a lot. Give ‘em hell, Herman!
If Cain is the nominee we’d have Cain and his 9-9-9 plan vs president 666.
I would expect Cain’s poll numbers to rise once Bachmann and Santorum call it a day. Their combined 8-10% (though it seems inconsequential at present) would likely gravitate toward him.
