I don’t think he’s drunk, but I don’t think he’s presidential, and I don’t think he’s going to be winning any debates and I don’t think he’s going to win the nomination.
And I don’t think he’s going to take enough votes away from Cain to tip the nomination to Romney.
This is now Cain’s nomination to lose. It worries me that Cain is unsteady on his feet — not unsteady in the manner of Perry in this speech, but just a little too quick to speak without thinking, which can be fatal to someone who already carries the burden of “inexperienced”.
But whatever Cain does or doesn’t do, Perry is out of it. Watch this speech. Forget about “drink or drugs” and just ask yourself: is this man presidential.
I have a weak-spot for Perry. I always have. But I watched this speech, several times, looking for “presidential”. It’s not there.
The longer this nomination process goes on the more convinced it is going to be Gingrich. Cain is done. There will be a number of other women come out of the woodwork. (just my guess). Perry is WAY done. Romney will not get the republican nod. This is going to Gingrich.
