Cain is a salesman, and I guess was a pretty solid businessan, but he’s not a politician......and I’m sorry to say folks, you MUST be a good politician to win elections, and if you don’t win, what the f**k is the point? There’s no points for effort. Someone wins and someone loses. Obama will be playing to win, and we need a seasoned politician to beat him. That being said, we want the most conservative possible politician to beat him. In my view, that is Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich. I know that many folks around do not like Romney, and to be honest, he ain’t my favorite either, but he is INFINITELY better than Obama, and any conservative who does not support Romney over Obama is giving aid and support to the re-election of Obama. It really is that simple.
I have always liked Newt, despite the fact that he has a huge ego and enjoys self-promotion. I am sensing a slow, but steady consolidation of support to his direction. I would love for him to re-emerge, and would rather have him over Romney.
Perry is done - we do not want a Bush redux. He is too easy to caricature, and I don’t want any distractions away from Obama’s record and the economy.
Ronmney is the candidate most likely to LOSE to Obama.
Romney, like McCain, doesn’t present enough of a clear cut difference between himself and Obama.
Romney cannot go after Obama on any position, becuase he has flip-flopped so much in the past. No matter what Romney says to criticise Obama, someone can dig up an old tape of Romney saying the exact opposite and sounding like he agrees with Obama’s position.
Romney is the candidate most likely to LOSE to Obama.
