Maybe he’s coming to understand Romney’s character and positioning himself for Gingrich should he pull ahead down the line.

I can’t imagine Romney would want Cain for VP either.

What’s developing, Matt Drudge?

LOL.

I watched Herman Cain’s interview with Neil Cavuto today!

"I’m sure American conservatives are telling him they don’t like Romney."

BINGO. Is it so far-fetched to think that Cain is gradually seeing Romney for the douchey RINO he really is?

I saw the interview with Neil Cavuto today and Neil asked Cain that if he didn’t win, could he support Romney. Cain obviously wasn’t listening to the question very well because it immediately morphed into the subject of who he could be VP for. Neil jumped on it.

Huckabee was the best out of the 3. Surely Cain knew about Romney care? yet, I heard him mention Newt and Romney as potential vp’s out of the choices on stage at one of the debates.

Do some history reading on the reason why Trueman was picked for the slot and how they packed him away after the election. They didn’t figure on the old gas bag assuming room temperature before the war ended, now did they.

I say now way in hell for anyone playing the second fiddle to Romney. So who was the Lt. Governor for Romney?

LMAO.... Why in the heck would he feel a need to even announce such a thing?

It's the beginning of the Romney is unelectable meme.

What do you think the establishment GOP is telling themselves? "We know the Tea Partiers don't like Romney, but we'll throw them a sop by putting a Tea Party favorite in the VP slot, like we did last time with Palin, and they'll line up to vote for Romney just like they did for McCain."

The GOP establishment knows they can't win the nomination without the Tea Party, but thinks they can put someone like Cain in the VP slot to bring along the Tea Partiers.

By eliminating himself from the VP slot, he's breaking the "Romney has the best chance of beating Obama" meme.

Probably not far fetched. I imagine with this statement he probably has some information that leads him to the conclusion that he doesn’t want to be associated with Romney.

And, Romney still hasn’t been able to pull ahead despite the fawning of the media over the guy. Even in the debates when he gets more questions than anyone else, it hasn’t made a dent.

And on the third prong, you have the American people getting to know the other candidates as these debates continue. That’s why this is a good process. People are finding someone other than Romney. And we’re not going to sit by and let the RINO primary states pick our candidate.

Huckabee just couldn’t win any primaries. He had to drop out in the end. Besides, he and McCain pulled those shenanigans in West Virginia if you remember. It was either with Romney or Thompson.

Maybe to set folks straight since HE did endorse Romney in 2008.

Hint:

If you say it a thousand times more it will matter just about as much as the first time you did.

I'm relatively sure you had pimples when you were a teenager but sometimes, just sometimes a little bit of experience has a habit of changing your worldview, just a tad.

What? If I recall correctly, earlier today on Cavuto he said he would be open to it but he would have to have a talk with Romney first to see how much they agreed upon.

Maybe he thinks Mitten’s minions are behind the crazy women stories.
