Cain will NEVER ever under any circumstances or even in an alternate universe beat Romney.
Only Perry could have.
Cain will split the south with Perry and Romney will walk to the nomination, and then lose to Obama which is sad because Perry could of had a 40 state sweep against Obama.
Right now, Mitt Romney is working hard to lock up the big fund raisers. Serious candidates focus on the realities of serious campaign logistics.
Right now, Herman Cain has just started a national book-signing tour to hawk his book.
As I have said before, conservatives have been played like cheap fiddles.
