From the article:

"Maybe there are other shoes to drop -- Cain’s story keeps shifting -- and the Republican base’s curious infatuation with Cain, as with earlier infatuations this election cycle, will end. And maybe not. The Republican base appears no closer to ending its holdout against the Obama-lite candidacy of Mitt Romney. One popular conservative website, Free Republic, actually bans pro-Romney commenters, and even George Will is taking potshots at the candidate whose nomination many political pros believe is inevitable."

“political pros believe is inevitable”
At least it isn’t unexpected.

This voter has other plans. Personally I believe Cain is the only one who can yank Michigan out from under Romney.

Nice of Carlson to link directly to FR (even if it is a somewhat old link).

Herman Cain source says harassment allegations raised $350,000 for campaign

Maybe this will help FR donations as well. :-)

People just don’t like Romney. They do not trust him. He lost to John McCain of all people. Anytime an opposing alternative goes down, someone else rises. People are looking for a “not romney” candidate.

Man oh man, the more I see of the "Hermanator," the more I like and admire him.

Tonight, he stood up to "Bloviating" O'Reilly when while trying to explain how he would handle Iran, Bill kept interupting him as he wont to do, but Cain would have none of it and kept at Bill with ("Work with me") until he mad his point.

Personally, I liked his answers: Energy Independence which would bring the price of oil down which would hurt Iran which is dependent oh high oil prices; and,

Put more Navy ships in the Gulf with anti-missile capabilities.

This "Freaked" BOR out and he considered this as "PROVOCATIVE" and Iran would more than likely attack

Cain would have none of it and this is what I loved: Cain said that if they did, we would "Defend ourselves" and (again spot on) the only thing Iran (or all other Moozie Jihadist) understand is Militar Might which we have all over them.

Great Interview and I don't care what anyone says about his lack of Foreign Policy knowledge, his answers show me that he is not completely clueless and will stand up to our enemies and won't take and sheet from them....which is what the United States...."Used to do!"

For politicians like Willard Romney, Conservatism is a political strategy and not a set of core beliefs & values.

Romney has given us no reason to trust him, and many reasons to distrust him.

I for one recognize the need to keep infiltrating socialists out. I know many have expressed their displeasure with the decisions of late but they must know that this site has her rules set. Don’t become a member and try to change it to a conservative-liberal think-tank. It is Conservative. Thanks

even George Will is taking potshots at the candidate whose nomination many political pros believe is inevitable.

If Romney's nomination is as "inevitable" as the GOP "insiders" claim, George Will would be on board, the fact that he's not means that the GOP leadership is in no way certain of Romney.

I believe that FR played a vital role in bringing down Rudy four years ago, we can damn sure do the same to Romney.

Even Margaret Carlson is describing Romney as "Obama-lite" now?

Amazing.

“political pros believe is inevitable” i.e. the establishment, i.e. Anti-Tea Party.

" This "Freaked" BOR out and he considered this as "PROVOCATIVE" and Iran would more than likely attack "

Remember when Reagan was running and promised to put more missiles in eastern Europe and the MSM and Liberals had a fit ? and all the Nuke Protests of the early 80s ?
