Thanks, but I’ve been a bit objectionable lately, as I’ve gotten very frustrated trying to strip through all the opinions and hysterics and trying to find facts we could agree on. So I’ve been terse with some people, and rude to others.
I haven’t given up on Cain, although I’m not a fan of the “we need amateurs” concept, and I haven’t seen any really good responses from his supporters when I bring it up.
Part of the problem is that while I see attacks on a candidate as an opportunity to educate where those attacks are not valid, most people here see attacks as just “attacks”, and respond by belittling the attacker rather than dealing with the issues.
I watch Cain in an event like tonight, and I really like him. I watch him in the debates (and I know others love him there), and I see a 2nd-tier tagalong. And I see him in short interviews, and through his campaign, making mistake after mistake, making false charges based in insufficient evidence, having to clarify his positions time and again, and I can’t believe ANYBODY thinks he is presidential material.
So it’s a real mixed bag. And you know, I wish Perry would be able to do a one-on-one like this with Cain, but I can’t imagine it would be pleasant like this was.
I think cain is coming off pretty lame in this format.
He needs his “horse” lines, his 999, and all that jazz to be popular.
When he gets clinical he loses steam
