Pretty much exactly how I see it as well. Hot Air had a good article about it yesterday as well. Romney is just hoping (and helping) Cain to knock Perry out, because Romney knows he can knock Herman out easily later on. Such a transparent strategy, but it is working well for Mitt.
I'm not so sure about that. Romney's selling point has always been that he's a successful businessman who knows how the economy works and can get it doing again. But Cain can claim the same mantle.
Cain doesn't have the organization on the ground, but this is going to be a very unusual primary season because there are so many people who don't like one or the other frontrunner.
I'll be blunt. I was a Daniels supporter (which I know makes me a RINO establishment guys in the eyes of some here), but he chose not to run. After Perry's performances, I was becoming resigned to Romney being the nominee, and unlike some others here, I would vote for him over Obama despite misgivings.
But Cain is growing on me. Perry/Romney is a tough choice for me, but Cain/Romney is becoming a pretty easy one.
