I admire your sincerity, but Ron Paul is not a viable option.
As I see it, trying to persuade people about Paul now, when there are at least 8 choices, is a bit of a waste of time.
Cain has the message that people are liking right now. He’s got a perfect record. Of course it helps that he’s never voted for anything or signed a bill, so technically, he has no record at all. Which is fine. People like him. And I personally take Cain’s side against the nasty, skanky golddigging bitches. And I liked that smoking ad.
If Palin jumped in the race right now, Cain would lose more than half of his support to her instantly. But she isn’t in the race right now.
