All right! As a Sarah Palin supporter I realize that she may choose not to run, after all, so I've been seeking a 'Plan B' candidate to vote for and support. Like most conservatives, I couldn't stomach the phony Mitt Romney and Rick Perry wasn't cutting it, either. I like Michele Bachmann but she seems to be stumbling. Herman Cain was a possibility but only if Bachmann totally imploded, which I feared was likely. Now, Mr. Cain has finally broken out of the pack and I can look to him as my 'Plan B' candidate if Palin declines to run. Good man with a good message.

I hope he can capitalize on this and push the media-driven Romney-Perry 'front runners' off the stage. He won't be taken seriously by the leftmedia and the GOP elites will sneer at his lack of political 'experience' but conservatives now have a viable candidate they can support. For me, I'll be happy to see the Romney/Perry duo pushed to the side because neither one is a conservative. Especially Mitt. This is a great day, even for those of us that may be hoping for Sarah Palin to enter the Republican primary race. Herman Cain is too good to dismiss and I hope he can keep his momentum going.

With a crappy economy, running a successful conservative no nonsense businessman would probably be a damn good idea.

Jim - Ditto everything you said.

I am/have been waiting for Palin. But I too need a back up candidate. And for the past 3-4 weeks it was Perry. But his performance at the debate ended that.

I always liked Cain, but I just thought he was a fringe candidate. But this win could give him some credibility and mojo.

I would be more than happy hitching my wagon to the Cain Train.

My answer to the question ‘who won the debate?’ is Palin won the debate.

Great to have you on board sir! :)

All aboard the Cain Train!
