The author is clearly clueless when he assumes that the only reason we want Herman Cain nominated just to stick it to 0bama. We want him nominated because he is the only conservative and we like what he says. Romney is not a conservative, and contrary to what the author says, the nomination of Mitt guarantees the reelection of Obama

[Psalm 144]

I am not yet sold on Cain, or on Perry, or on Gingrich.

Romney is definitely in the discard pile however, and I will crawl over broken glass to vote against that mendacious liberal. If Romney is the GOP nominee, Obama wins with a plurality.

The last time the Republican/Media controlled insiders gave us their ‘its his turn’ candidate look what we got, OBAMA and the Marxists. No way this time. No way! Its snake eyes or slow craps either way.

[Signalman]

but the former pizza company CEO has a long way to go to demonstrate that he has the skills necessary to run the country.

Unlike, (dare I say it) OBAMA?/sarc

Stuart Rothenburg? Good heavens.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If Romney’s the nominee, we’d be better of with Ubama tied up for four years in investigations and impeachment proceedings.

[Crichton]

Other than the ignorant "prove they're not racist" cheap shots, the article is pretty well on the ball.

I like Cain and may vote for him, but he should understand that running for president is like preparing for an earnings call - you need to have thought out what questions you are likely or possibly asked and prepare a thoughtful and concise response for each of them. He can overcome that but right now it's a hurdle.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

“the nomination of Mitt guarantees the reelection of Obama”

Ab-So-Lutely!

The nomination cat-fights are bringing to light the True Horror of Obama.

He’s lowered the bar SO FAR, that ALMOST, anyone appears an improvement, and running true to form, the bosses in the GOP don’t want to rock the pork wagon any more than they absolutely have to.

They have No intention of downsizing the bureaucracy.

[Graybeard58]

Similarly, conservatives would embrace Romney against Obama next year.

Not this conservative.

[Haiku Guy]

Romney / Obama?
I would vote for Obama...
I prefer gridlock.

Everybody knows that nobody passes the Democrat agenda more effectively than a RINO. Romney will be able to gather a coalition of “centrist” Republicans and the remaining Democrats in Congress to “get things done”. Unfortunately, those things will be RomneyCare, Cap and Trade, Amnesty, Card Check, Stimulus III, and every other stupid Obama idea ever to come down the pike.

If Obama is re-elected, he will be paralysed, because every Republican knows that voting with Obama is electoral suicide. So an ineffective Obama is our best alternative if the choice is an effective Romney who has all the same goals.

[corvus]

“.....(Romney) now finds himself in the position of having to “hang around” in the GOP race while conservatives flirt with a series of alternatives.

Meanwhile the MSM and their ilk work 24/7 to influence the GOP nominee choice of the weakest opponent of their One. Focus on the propaganda, counteract it.

[Steve Van Doorn]

* Cain is the only candidate I will vote FOR.
* Romney is the only GOP candidate I will vote AGAINST.
* All the other GOP candidates I will bit the bullet and vote against Obama.
