Based on what? Cain won't be the gop nominee. Right now looks like Romney will go up against Obama and lose, of course. If Perry can recover from all the gratuitous attacks thrown at him from the left and right, he could win in a tight race. Otherwise, its Willard the liberal who will be the Republican standard bearer for 2012. My vote will NOT go to Romney under any circumstance.
I think your analysis is correct. I like Cain, but he has no, meaning NO, political or governing experience and would be a horrible choice. But I think the reason he has been sucking up to Romney is because he wants to be VP, and that’s probably how Romney will get support from some people who would not otherwise support him.
I think Perry would probably be the best (although I really didn’t like him very much initially) and would also get the fabled “independent” votes, because he’s an alternative without being something so radically base-oriented that an “independent” would get freaked out.
He’s a conservative overall and obviously would give us smaller, less intrusive government, get rid of a lot of restrictions on our economic development, also supports traditional American values, and would present a clear alternative to Obama.
Romney presents no alternative, and therefore even the independents wouldn’t vote for him. And most of the GOP who gets out and works the polls and really makes the voting happen wouldn’t vote for him either. I say that as someone who works for the GOP candidate every time, and even did so with McCain - but I wouldn’t work for Romney.
Mine will, IF he's the candidate against Obama.
No sane or rational human being who actually thinks it through could possibly conclude that our country would be better off under the control of the Kenyan Marxist for another four years.
What I will NOT do is cast or fail to cast my vote in any manner whatsoever that would even indirectly or incrementally benefit Obama. No way in hell.
Obama is the enemy here,folks. Obama. Let me spell it out for all of you: O-B-A-M-A I-S T-H-E E-N-E-M-Y.
Palin is sane and rational. Because she is sane and rational, I am absolutely confident that she too will vote without any hesitation for Romney if he is the Republican nominee.
Ditto.
Astute post....we have a winner. This confirms my gut feeling that I had back in 2008 that Obama is a two termer. I will confess, I had thought, off and on, that Palin would get in.
With her now out of the equation, this clears it for Romney. Romney will be the GOP standard bearer, which will dishearten the GOP base, thus Obama wins. Classic chess.
This is just my prediction. But now it all fell into place with a neat little click.
Not voting for Romney, if he is indeed nominated, is a vote for Obama.
Time to hold your nose.
