Perry goes down further with each passing day and each new poll. Romney is stuck where he always has been. Both of them looked like clowns in the debates. The more people see Perry, and learn of his background, the less they like him.
Cain, on the other hand, goes up with each passing day and each poll. He looked great in the debates and the more people see of him and learn of his background, the more they like him. It's inevitable, Perry is done and Cain will be running against Romney, the RINO, establishment candidate. You can choose which one you want to support.
Also, Cain will get a substantial boost from Palins announcement and he'll get another when Bachmann drops out. Romney, of course, will pick up some of Perry's supporters, but so far most of them seem to be going to Cain.
Cain has the conservative and Tea Party voters, Perry and Romney are splitting the "political class" vote. The numbers don't add up for either one. As of now, it looks like Cain vs. Obama
Spoken like a Palinista living in the clouds or...something. For the rest of those on planet Earth, yes, Perry stunk it up in the last debate. It was awful. Had you actually read the article for this thread, you would see why that is less and less important. People are “voting” with their pocketbooks. That’s the best measure at the moment. It’s tangible.
What planet are you living on? As likeable and conservative as Cain is, he has no money or clout in the general election against Obama since he’s never been in public office. It’s not fair but it’s the facts. Cain will be a flash in the pan after this week just like he was up until the straw poll in Florida. Cain can’t raise money in truckloads like Perry or Romney. He will be on the sidelines just like Palin because of his unelectability, regardless of how much you loathe Perry or Romney. That said, I guess you’ll be staying home next November considering those choices of reality. Real smart.
