I finally found it. That’s why I started looking now. I didn’t want to have to rely on stop and go live feed!

Crazy, isn’t it? I had to look up my Comcast channel availability to find it, lurking here on channel 646. I’ve never watched it before, but I’m grateful to be able to see the debate tonight. Glad you’ll get to watch it too!

“Why would you want Perry who is far behind in the polls to attack conservative Cain? Makes no sense.”

Agreed. It shows that their primary goal isn’t beating Romney. It’s getting Perry elected.

Rush needs to get endorse Cain! What the hell is he waiting for?

Well, Rush has the ability to endorse and not officially endorse. I approve of his method. I have high confidence that he will continue to go after Romney and show him to be the worthless candidate he is. I firmly believe Rush was serious when he said he's not carrying the water for the GOP anymore!

On DISH, it’s listed as BITV.

You can find it streaming live on the net.

And then they wonder why people get frustrated with their shenanigans.

That would be okay on Rush’s part if this were not the most important election in the history of elections with the very fate of the republic hanging in the balance. This country may not survive but hey at least Rush does not have to carry water!

Nice, but a lot can change in three months. Here’s hoping he starts off strong in IA.

What I was saying and what I think Rush meant is that he is not going to go along with the GOP establishment candidate just “for the sake of the party”. I believe he is on the same page as the Tea Partiers (and me)!

When Palin dropped out, some of her support went to Cain, but in reality, she probably handed the GOP nomination to Romney, and the election to Obama.

Palin shouldn’t waste any time either endorsing Cain!

IMHO, social issues will be secondary to economic issues in this election. Thus I like Cain's focus.

When Christie jumped into bed with Romney, he found Cain already there.

“Romney is a good choice, but I believe he can’t win”, Cain said to the Washington Times.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jul/18/romneys-religion-a-barrier-to-republican-nod-cain-/?page=all

Cain went on to explain that Romney’s one problem is his Mormonism, which is highly unpopular in the South.

Other than that, “Romney is a good choice”...signed, Herman Cain.

Cain endorsed Romney in 2008, not grudgingly but in a glowing written endorsement.

In addition, Cain says he could choose Romney as VP, and he could serve as any candidate’s VP except Perry.

The bed is getting crowded, and the leading Tea Party canidate is, for some reason, in there too.

No, with the Perry negatives in this poll, he needs to go home.

“Herman Cain not only has the lead in Iowa, he also has far more committed supporters than Mitt Romney,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “That doesn’t mean his support will be lasting though- just ask Michele Bachmann.”

Michele Bachman, while I generally liked her, could never "connect" with the voters like Cain is able to do. For whatever reason, her handlers kept her insulated, she would come and go at political events without shaking a single hand. She came across as standoffish and aloof - even a bit of an elitist, as if she felt she was above the "common people." This might not be reality but it was certainly the perceptions of a lot of people.

On the other hand, Cain comes across as very warm and approachable. You can actually imagine having a beer with the guy and striking up a real conversation in a bar, something that would be impossibly stilted and awkward with somebody like Bachmann or Romney.

Cain also has a very good speaking style - something probably honed during his talk radio days. He comes across as extremely intelligent (which he is) but does not come off as a snooty elitist. He has the ability to connect with ordinary people, traits that Reagan and Palin shared.

So I think Cain's level of support runs much deeper than people think. Now that Palin it out of the running, I cannot imagine switching to another candidate at this juncture and I believe many conservatives feel the same way. I think Cain has the conservative "Tea Party" vote locked down and we have only just seen the beginning of his momentum.

He’s got my family locked in now. I can’t see us switching at this point, either.
