We don’t a history lesson on Governor Perry’s SUPER-FAST flameout. We already know all about it.
That’s my point. What goes up must come down. Hell remember Howard Dean in 04 and his early primary lead. Perry jumped in and crashed. Now Cain has become the ‘flavor of the month or maybe its week’. Shoot Dewey even won back in the day.
Politics is a game of ups/downs and the trick is to be the up when it becomes time to pull the lever. We aren’t at that time in the campaign just yet.

That’s actually a reasonable comment...unlike the Perry Girls. So my reply...
While it’s certainly possible that Cain might peak early, he has an intensity unmatched (getting near 60% in some Tea Party polls), so he’ll have to screw up pretty big to lose. For example, he did only so-so in the debate last week...but kept right on climbing. In other words, the expectations are low...since he’s not a polished Newt, Mitt, or Perry...but a businessman. So it will take a lot to sink him.
As far as timing goes, the field is about set, and the primaries are coming up quick (thank you Romney), so there isn’t much time for others to climb quickly...it can happen, but the stars will have to line up just right.
We shall see...
