I’m 100% Newt! Cain? No way. 999 is crap. Cain has a real hard time explaining things...he was on BO last night...he is really light years behind Newt on the issues. He is no way Presidential material....no way.
What are you going to do when Newt bows out?
I am 100% Cain. Newt? He’s my fallback. I really like his ideas and his delivery. Newt is usually the smartest guy in the room. Any room, it doesn’t matter. He is very much Presidential material. If Cains’ campaign implodes, Newt is going to be my guy.
I would love to see a Cain/Gingrich ticket, or even vice versa.
Newt and Cain are both excellent.
What we’re learning this week, is that Cain has that something which Ronald Reagan also had:
Teflon.
That gift that when attacked, others naturally rush to his defense. That’s a sign of leadership.
Your problem is Newt excites no one. You can talk knowledge of foreign and domestic issues all you want and throw in political theory, and Gingrich will probably top everyone. But practically nobody gets excited about Newt. After Palin dropped out of consideration, nobody has generated excitement like Cain. He’s not necessarily my number one choice, but he’s far more likable than Gingrich. You can call it charisma or whatever, but Tea Party conservatives like Cain because he, of all the candidates, most closely represents them. Career pols like Gingrich just get respect.
