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.
“I like Cain, but he has no, meaning NO, political or governing experience and would be a horrible choice.”
Take a real hard look at our current leadership with all of their political and governing experience and what they’re managed to do with it.
Thanks Alex, I’ll take “politically inexperienced conservatives” for $500.
