People don’t invest big bucks to a candidate who is only acting as a spoiler.

Herman Cain can’t win and has told you he is going to support Romney when his money runs out. Duh

Herman Cain can't win

Heard that one before ... it never was very credible and has become less so with every passing day. CBS and WSJ both claim Cain has rocketed to a statistical tie with Romney. Romney couldn't beat McCain. Why on Earth would Cain settle for second fiddle to a third place loser when he's in a statistical tie for first place? I wouldn't. You wouldn't. Cain wouldn't. Go ahead and try to sell him out if you think it'll help your candidate. But don't expect logical FRiends to buy into it. I'm not voting for a wolf in sheeps clothing this election, and you can't make me. Romney, Perry, and Huntsman don't make the cut.

Good gravy, I just read the latest Zogby (click). Romney loses to Obama by 1%. Perry loses to Obama by 5%. Cain defeats Obama by 2%. Cain leads both Romney and Perry 38% to 18% and 12% respectively. Heck, add those two together and they are still 8% shy of Cain's popularity.

It's just a poll ... and it's Zogby at that. But with spreads that wide, there is a measure of reality reflected in there that you just can't argue against. It's a fact Romney and Perry have lost dramatic ground and Cain is the only candidate with traction.

Saying "Cain can't win" at this point is reminiscent of Baghdad Bob telling the world the troops aren't at his door.
