The reason for Bachman’s rise and fall, Perry’s meteoric rise and fall and now Cain’s rise is because the conservatives are searching for a standard bearer. As each candidate gains support by being “the most conservative” and then loses it by exposing something previously unknown about themselves... the conservatives shift. Cain is currently the man, despite his lack of political leadership, because he is the strongest conservative still standing. This portends very well for Palin... and I can’t wait.
Ding ding ding. Very astute observation.
Conservatives are the ones shredding the conservative candidates.
