I think Herman would say “Lighten up”. I was poking fun a Welch, not Cain. I am with you 100%. Cain is getting a lot higher profile interviews on this “Book Tour” than if he were campaigning.

Cain, melanin aside, is one of those guys that can and will honestly state his beliefs, teach people why he is right, and tell you to vote for him or not.

This is something a leftist cannot do. They can’t even fake it very well.

Romney, Perry, et al, are politicians. They may have core values

THAT is their core value. They ARE politicians. Simple as that.

And Perry’s camp has apparently gone into near total seclusion in an attempt as to figure out what next to flip-flop on in order to stem the blood gushing from their campaign.

- - - -
On here, the Perry-dactyls are going after Cain in a big way, even to the point of lying. I think those who are standing by Perry are angry at those who moved from Perry to Cain after the debates and the FL straw poll.

Did you happen to see his combative interview with Lawrence O’Donell? How about his appearance on “The View?”

He’s not hiding from the leftists.

No, have not had a chance to see them, will look for them.

I basically agree with your post #60. I’m hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

I think somebody thought Conservatives would flock to Romney.

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a hard cap on his popularity ~ it didn't budge a bit.

They may have core values, but they’ve been trained not to offend anyone, so they never express those core values out loud and try to “nice” as many as possible into voting for them.

Cain has been my pick from the start. I heard him speak last year and was impressed then. And, mostly I agree with you in the above statement. However, Rick Santorum is probably the most forthright expressing his values. I think he would be good in some high level position when Cain is elected. And I would love to see Cain with a strong VP like Gingrich. Gingrich's knowledge and experience on foreign issues would be a good balance. For once we could have two men in the top positions who know something about business AND international relations. A businessman and a statesman...much better than two dumb, life long politicians who know nothing of the world outside of the DC beltway.

I was mostly referring to Romney, and Perry to a slightly lesser extent.

Gingrich is a dirty bomb, He's totally radioactive. Cain would lose points putting him on the ticket. He needs to go back to the couch with SanFranNan/Hillary.

When The Hermanator is asked to do campaign appearances with GOP Senate candidates, then the deal is sealed.

Saw Cain today on his book tour. Will post pics later.

He looks GREAT in person — very dignified and polite. He was signing books and the lines were long. He’s very gracious and businesslike.

Looks like Herman’s picking up most of Perry’s support as well as that which would have gone to Palin.
