The dead guy ? It’s La Raza Rick to win ? Um, what ? The open borders RINO buffoon and mumble-mouthed career politician who is in total freefall ? Cain has Palin’s supporters and a good chunk of La Raza Rick’s former supporters who wised up. Time to get on board the Cain Train !

Do u think, he can debate with Obama?

I think so. He does have to improve in this area.

Well you have a good point. But again those who take part in the straw polls are more than likely the same ones who attended/watched the debates. I just think Gov. Perry will come out of this better than many expect.

My state, Virginia, is a swing state. We have a fantasitc Governor, Bob McDonnell who is working hard to turn Virginia back to the red.

I’m partial. I would love to see him as the VP. They would be the team of JOBS Governors.

I would love to see that too. But would you want to lose your Governor? Wolfcreek thinks it could be your governor.

Fox News was down on Perry after that debate day and night almost non stop. The did it for several days until their poll came out showing he had fallen back.

At the same time they were pushing Cain knowing full well he cant be a serious contender because of the money.

I’m begining to think they want Romney to be the nominee. That way we get Obama again and their ratings continue.

Those so called debates were not actually debates. In most of the cases, it was simply one attack after another. There have been attacks by media one after another too. Perry did not articulate his positions well, but I believe he will do better on the rest of them. However, he is still being attacked by liberal media who are terrified of what he would do to Obama. I will not vote for Romney, and I don’t think Cain has staying power. Guess we will see.

Yes, but he is the man. I want to see move up and know he would work well with Gov. Perry. I also like to see Governors as candidates rather than lawmakers.

We also have Cuccinelli as our Attorney General and he is dynamite and would be a good governor.

Perry never said this stuff. It doesn’t even sound like him. If Liz said it, well she makes up all kinds of stuff.

I noticed that too. I wondered why as well. I think Cain is carrying the water for Romney too.

Here is why the Perry camp is in trouble. It Fox News, It’s Cain, It’s Romeny it’s EVERYONE else fault Perry is screwing up.

Winning campains know how to be flexible and responsive. To quickly response to a tough changing campaign environment. The Perry camp would rather blame everyone else then admit their candidate is clumsy, inarticulate and not the least ready to face a National Campaign.

Considering Perry’s history in TX, I can pretty well promise that he would choose a conservative hispanic or black American running mate. Col. West would possibly be one choice, Rubio would be a dream candidate, but I don’t think he is a natural born citizen. There are a lot to choose from in several swing states.

Rubio has already said he will not accept an offer as VP. Boy, I am glad of that...you’re right he isn’t a NBC. I would love Congressman [Lt.Col.] West, but I believe he has said he it isn’t the right timing for him. I don’t believe he would accept an offer.

Yes, we have all noticed that about Cain. I wonder if he will continue his attacks against Perry while none on Romeny. I guess we will soon see.

Here Dr. Jack Wheeler says today: Charlie Cook is the most respected political prognosticator in the country, Charlie Cook, wrote today (10/07) that “It’s Perry’s To Win.” As for Cain, Charlie says, “without the apparatus, money, or expertise in actually winning a party’s nomination, it’s doubtful that he can go very far.”

"Obama is a bumbler when he is off of the teleprompter."

Your comment brings up an interesting point. During the 2008 presidential debates, we were suspecting Zer0 was wearing an earpiece. I wouldn't be surprised if he and an inner ear adviser giving him debate answers through a wireless ear piece. His "Err. Ahh. Ummmm. Ahh." pauses between words will give him the opportunity to listen to his inner ear adviser for that perfect debate answer.
