WINNERS: Palin/Cain
If Palin was watching (and I’m sure she was), she has to be thinking that the door is wide open for her to get in right now:
Perry stumbled.....now is her chance to get in before Mitt Commie gets too much momentum.
The timing is right for Palin. She should announce tomorrow AM to steal the headlines for the weekend.
Sarah Palin is waiting in the wings until they kill each other off. I think she will step in and pick up the pieces. Romney (and Perry himself) is killing Perry. Palin will step in and pick up Perry's support and run for the brass ring and win.
“WINNERS: Palin/Cain”
I agree. This debate left me hoping like hell that Palin gets in. I just don’t get Perry. He’s doing all the right things on the campaign trail and getting everyone fired up, etc., but he’s a HORRIBLE debater-at least so far. He comes across as lacking depth and not being able to defend himself and counter-punch.
I think Perry may still be the frontrunner (barely) after tonight, but he needs to seriously step up his game if he’s going to survive.
Another thing I totally don’t get is why everyone is giving Romney a free pass on Romneycare. Good God! If Perry were the guy who signed a health care plan like that, everyone on stage would have the knives out on him!
Something’s just not right here, it’s as if there’s some secret agreement with everyone except Perry not to hit Romney too hard on anything. And there’s so much more they could go after. Romneycare is just the tip of the iceberg. There’s global warming, flip-flopping on major issues like abortion, just general phoniness.
I feel like we’re being played here, and we’re being pulled toward a Romney candidacy. I think that would be a horrible mistake. And since it looks like Perry might not be able to stop him, I hope to God Palin gets in.
I think palin will need addl foreign policy help so I’d lean to newt or the walrus (always forget his name) with Cain as secretary of commerce.
