Cain is my second choice behind Perry. I was an early and enthusiastic Cain supporter. I lost some enthusiasm for him when he came out with 9-9-9, which I see as disastrously flawed. I cooled a little more when he was quick to jump on the race bandwagon against Perry regarding that stupid rock and even more the day after the Nevada debate when he was asked which of his opponents he repects the most and he said Mitt Romney.

Even still he's my second choice and I HOPE he survives this attack but I don't think he will.

Cain is my second choice behind Perry.

If Cain goes down you will have a big problem. Perry is no longer of any relevance and this is not about to change no matter what happens to Cain. If Cain goes down, which I don't think will happen, the race will be between Gingrich and Romney.

On the rock, Cain said that the name of the camp was insensitive and this was twisted to make it out that he called Perry insensitive. I believe this echos what Perry said about the rock.

On the debate question, I thought I remembered “as a businessman” being in there, but cannot seem to locate any verifiable copy of the question and answer.

9-9-9 may not be perfect, but it sure has got the others responding with ideas - as a leader should do.
