Polls indicate that Romney does best head to head against Obama.

Yes, and polls also say that "Generic Republican" beats Obama. The polls don't jive. The media wants a Romney/Obama matchup. Think about it. If Perry wasn't the man to beat, why is Romney still going after him and not Cain? Why would the media be promoting Cain (even MSNBC is promoting Cain) and proclaiming Perry is dead...all while Perry is raking in money hand over fist for the long haul? Rush would say they tell you who they fear. They are all STILL terrified of Perry.

Well, the reason why they’re hitting Perry and not Cain is
1) it’s easier to hit Perry
2) Perry does have the money.

But we’re talking about electability, right?

And Perry does not perform in the head to heads as well as Romney and Paul.

“....why is Romney still going after him and not Cain? “ <<<

I’ll tell you why. IT’S THE MONEY. Period. Romney is trying to sew up ALL of it, knowing perfectly and full well that Rick was going to end this quarter well funded from the get-go. Romney wants that cash flow stopped ASAP, and knows that MUCH of that money came in before Rick imploded. That’s the fact. Now, if Rick returns with his pants on, it will be a new game. If not, we’re in trouble and it will be Romney with the billion dollars for the win.
