>>> What fascinates me is the number of people who jump ship each time something happens one way or another in the hopes of being known as supporting the winner.
What if Cain says something unpopular? Will there be a sudden rush to whoever is saying what the people want to hear?>>
I get your frustration: I think people jump ship because they have a hard time discerning between compromise on principle - and unrealistic purity. There is also the oppression of the immediate — you know, like since Obama got Usama it’s all over for 2012 already....etc. Thus everything is magnified and a lot of it all but forgotten weeks later.
Cain will certainly say some unpopular things (again) and we’ll see how he does as a top tier for the first time — which may or may not work out well. Right now he’s benefitted from the fact that every other candidate likes him and none of them thought he was a threat so no one challenged him.
He is a threat now, and we’ll see how this all unfolds. I have no idea how it will either....
My team’s quarterback just threw and interception after getting sacked.
I guess I need to find another team to be loyal to.
