None of the Perry un-supporters have addressed Qui Bono? Who benefits from Cain’s crash?
The forensics aren’t settled yet. So we have to ask, who was Cain most damaging on his ascent?
Zero, because he’s peeling off black voters (and I’m sure his ‘fry them on the fence’ policy had NOTHING to do with that).
Romney? Everybody hates him and only voted for him to get rid of McPainLettuce, and look where that got us. Rove, the Bushes, and most of the establishment RINOs want Mitt. They are chagrined as the RATS about Nov 2010 and what Nov 2012 is going to look like.
Perry? He’s busy taking down Zero - in an electoral ground game nobody is giving him credit for - and of course he’d like to harvest Sarah’s votes who fell to Cain. If Perry chose to bulldoze Cain, his signature would be all over it.
If my political acumen is right (and I know it is), Perry will make conciliatory moves towards Cain once Sarah also nudges it.
We DO have a commie POTUS to dethrone, and we’re going to have to do it together. But Cain has to detatch from the Romney/Rove and I hate to type this BUSH machine if he is serious about effecting change.
The train to derail zero and his beuropolitik needs to be simply a much bigger train ramming him head-on, and we can’t do this if we don’t unite soon.
So you think that Cain is the pup of the Bush/Rove/Romney machine? Well, it seems to me Cain is lagging back for some reason and maybe that’s it. For sure, that trio has the legs for opposition research on anybody and how to use it, time it and market it, and the smarts to use Cain to ticket up with Romney and split the black vote, even by around 30% and Obama would be toast. That would also explain why Rubio is so firm about NOT running as VP for anybody this cycle. Rubio and Jeb are tight and Mark’ knows how to do the “talk” thing to the Right with the best of them, but would work a moderate, concilliatory, and compromising crossplay with the moderate/liberal wing like the entrenched establishment require to keep their power. It is very convoluted, but I do not trust Herb Cain. Not the way he has been dogging Rick. It has become more important to him than the race itself to smear Perry. I don’t see Rick, in the end, having any use whatsoever for the Cain model of treachery, however.
