I’ve been on the anyone-but-mitt train since the beginning and would support that nominee. I’ve watched every debate including last nights. Cain just isn’t in the same league as Newt, hands down. I’d forfeit a paycheck for a Newt/Cain ticket. One or two terms as a VP would make Cain an unstoppable candidate, but he’s just not the guy for now when we have the caliber of Newt in the race.
I just finished watching it on CSPAN this morning as I fell asleep before the debate began. Have to say I agree with what you said.
I'm one of those folks with one foot on the "Cain train" but I have to say Newt won hands-down. It's clear though that Cain wasn't intimidated by Gingrich, and that Cain needs some "political seasoning" to be ready to be President.
A Gingrich/Cain ticket is something I could support.
There are other combinations too (none of which include Romney or Paul) as I'm pretty much in the "Anyone but Obama" camp.
I fear that after two terms, Mr. Cain might be a little long in the tooth.
