BREAKING: Sources tell FOX 5 News that Herman Cain will endorse Newt Gingrich Monday for the GOP Presidential Nominee
You can when he is on stage. His minions are of no help.
Why would he endorse anybody so soon, if he suspended his campaign?
To him does suspend mean end?
LOL. Excuse me. LOL.
caww, would bet Newt will handle this well. Possibly some black conservatives and those that think Cain’s tax plan was great may jump behind Newt. SC should prove interesting
Sorry folks I'm with onyx here, Gingrich is our only alternative to Romney.
1) Santorum couldn't even win re-election to Bob Casey and just seems smug.
2) Ron Paul is insane.
3) Michele Bachmann embarrasses herself constantly. The latest with her going on the "Jimmy Fallon Show" only to be humiliated.
Not going to even waste my breath on Huntsman or Mittens.
Gingrich, in case we’ve forgotten, is an extremely polarizing figure.
From 2008-2011, the Democrats hated Palin
From 2001-2008, the Democrats hated Rove and Cheney (and Bush, but to a lesser degree)
From 1994-2000, the Democrats hate Gingrich.
When we were hating Clinton, the Democrats were hating Gingrich. They really hate him. If the Democrats can’t get people fired up for their President who sucks, they certainly can get people fired up hating Gingrich again.
humm-mmm....so what we got there? Hummmmm.
“Anyone who would support Perry is an Idiot, or a Democrat who wants a Republican nominee who can completely collapse in a debate, hurting Republicans down ballot.
Perry should’ve quit after that debate. Now we have to listen to a handful of persistent idiots (or Democrats) backing Perry.”
Well let’s see, Romney’s a lifetime loser (save one Gov election in 2002 in a highly GOP year where he got 49% of the vote) who’s liberal on most issues and inspires zero passion and is a non-starter with 75% of the party, Newt has a history of ‘foot in mouth’ disease and is more than capable of self-destructing, Ron Paul’s a kook, and Bachmann & Santorum are not going anywhere.
I haven’t decided who I’m supporting yet, but given the above facts, I’m glad Perry has stayed in the race and I would by no means count him out. Anyone with any objectivity would have to conclude that his record is more conservative than the two front runners, not to mention he is more than qualified as the chief exec of the 13th largest economy in the world.
I’d say there’s plenty of good reason to consider supporting Perry. Debate flub or not, he’s still got the money and organization to make a run at this. And let’s not forget how fluid this race is. Just a month ago, many around here said nothing could de-rail the ‘Cain Train.’ Fortunes can change very quickly in this race, as we’ve seen already time and again.
Perry is the only candidate I would not support in Nov 2012.
Mitt and Newt are both RINOs
(and by the way, what kind of names are Mitt and Newt?)
Bachmann and Paul are the only tea party candidates left.
Santorum is a solid social conservative.
I have more good news, buccaneer81 sleeps with the Romneys. :)

No, OBAMA is bad for America. Newt would be a wonderful change of pace, a breath of fresh air, and a chance to move in the right direction finally. Is he perfect? Far, far from it. But let's not forget the real opposition--it's Obama, Obama's policies, Obama's advisers, Obama's Supreme Court picks that are DISASTROUS for America.
Romney is loosing that cocky look of confidence in his ascendancy. He's starting to look like a deer in the headlights.
He must be thinking: "How can I be so far behind? It's "MY TURN!" It's supposed to be a foregone conclusion. It's the formula."
I am so enjoying watching the utter unbelief and ire on the faces of the Establishment elitists as they are unable to stop Newt - the NON-member of the Ivy league lawyers.
If we get Newt in - we may, in one fell swoop, be really draining the swamp, not just of the evil despot wannabes/demRAt Socialists/Marxists but the Republican Old Boys Club with their age old formula.
this hasn't happened to them since - since Reagan.
Newt is hated by many Democrats. Like Palin is. Except Palin is liked by Republicans. I like Palin. A lot. Newt is a RINO.
Newt’s got a month to stay standing. Expect many tv commercials attacking him. He should fall.
His support should scatter.
I just had a semi-liberal friend call and talk to me about Gingrich tonight. I was shocked. She told me she would not vote Obama; because she felt he didn’t deserve a second term because he did not answer for all the mistakes he made in his first term, and that she was actually interested in the retinue of GOP candidates and wanted my honest opinions of each and every one. She even talked about joining the local Republican caucus to get a feel for things. I was stunned.
Woa! ....now THAT was an excellant aim and you hit the target right on girlfriend!
Perry is not out of this race in any way. Frankly, I think voters (and the general public) are really tiring of all the dog and pony shows by a couple of the candidates.
It’s really time to get down to the business of removing Barack Hussein Obama from the People’s House in D.C.
Perry appears to be the one true conservative in the Goldwater mold of all the candidates in the race.
