Raising Cain!

[org.whodat]

Where are all those silly posts about why is herman not attacking willard. ROFLOL

[LostInBayport]

Bret Baier announced this on Special Report right after A.B. Stoddard condescendingly declared that while Herman Cain “is charming” he basically has no shot at winning the nomination.

She laughed when Bret read it, one of those “can you believe it?” laughs. I have one MORE reason for Herman Cain to win the nomination: to shove it in the face of the “we know best” pundits.

[Huck]

Fueled by Tea Party supporters

Just the ones who think we should tax tea--and everything else we buy. Time to throw them in Boston Harbor, along with 9-9-9.

Time will tell if the Kool Aid drinkers dominate the Tea Party. Hopefully not, because 9-9-9 will get Obama re-elected.

Fantastic!

[umgud]

I’m guessing that when the lower tier candidates bow out, their support will likely transfer to Cain, not Romney.

[Politicalmom]

Let me just get it out of the way...

Cain can’t win! He’s got no money/organization/experience.

He’s a liar/moron/loser.

HE WORKED FOR THE *GASP* FED!!!

(Go, Cain!!)

[adorno]

I like Cain...

I like the 999 taxes plan...

But...

How practical is it?

I mean, once Cain is in the White House, how likely is it that, he’ll actually propose the plan, and how likely is it that congress will actually take it up or even discuss it seriously?

[Parley Baer]

Cain/Rubio. That would make the liberals heads explode. Bwahahahahaha.

[MrEdd]

Good to see the only one of the three I would vote for under any circumstance in the lead.

I am so praying that the MSM and the early primary States don’t chose our candidate this time - the race cards that Obambi and company are planning to spew all over the table will play havoc with any opponent that is not supported by us, the 52% ! Cain can neutralize the race cards - Anybody but Romney - Please!

As others have pointed out, 9-9-9 is an idea, it's a starting point. No president gets everything he wants or campaigns on. It takes a lot of legislation to get ideas passed (look at the Jobs Bill — Obama can spout about it all day long, but it isn't going to pass). So if 9-9-9 doesn't end up passing muster, then it won't pass. But maybe 9-12-0 does pass muster. Who knows.

It will take time and analysis to get any new plan vetted and passed. The point is Cain is thinking outside the box, outside the establishment norms, and that's a good thing, given the state of our economy and our nation.

Let's let this play out and see where it goes. Don't write Cain off just because you don't like 9-9-9. I don't like certain things about every candidate. But I doubt any of us will every have the perfect candidate. So we have to choose the one with the greatest potential for leadership, values, character, sound principals, and definitely the ability and intent to surround him/herself with world-class advisers.

Time will bring the cream of the crop to the top.

Great! Most polls now have him in the lead, so the media should consider Herman Cain the frontrunner.

[federal__reserve]

This is stupendous news! Raising Cain!!

[Grunthor]

“NBC/WSJ poll: Cain now leads GOP pack (Cain 27% Romney 23% Perry 16%)”

Hey look MSM (and Perry supporters), it really IS a two man race!

[PAConservative1]

3 polls now have confirmed Cain is the front runner. At this point, Perry is only helping Slick Willard. Not only that, Perry is unelectable whereas Cain will crush Hussein.

999

means losing the home interest deduction, that should do wonders for the home market!

Romney: “Cain would be a risk due to his inexperience, but that’s okay as long as you’re not thinking about voting for the guy who governed Texas for 10 years with terrific job growth.” As a gloss on this, go read Philip Klein’s short but insightful post about the persistent weakness of the GOP field. Since 1959, no Republican has gone on to win the presidency without earning at least 40 percent of the primary vote at this point in the race. Our top tier, meanwhile, is chronically mired in the mid to low 20s, with Romney so desperate to break through the 25-percent ceiling that he’s now actually touting other candidates in the race to try to force the most advantageous hold-your-nose Romney vs. Not Romney showdown that he can. It’s come to this, my friends. Or no, rather — it’s come to this.
