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.
Which is why Cain has to triangulate and start shooting arrows in Mitt’s direction. Cain is VERY smart. He knows who is standing in his way.
