If it's not Perry, it's Romney, if it's Romney, it's Obama.
It’s Myth’s turn, meaning Ubama will get his second term.
Rick Perry can help Mitt Romney win the GOP nod. Really.
At this point, I’d say the opposite. Perry is down for the count right now, but he can still recover. Only if Perry demonstrates the ability to be an effective campaigner is he even an option now, and I say this as one who was in his corner a few weeks ago.
If Perry makes a big recovery, and Cain stays strong, they need to go head to head for awhile and once a couple actual primary votes help determine which will be better, then the conservative movement needs to coalesce around one or the other to keep Romney out. It is far too early to single out one candidate to be against Romney, and especially when Perry has been terrible to date going head to head. Perry has to up his game in a big way before this type of decision can be made.
The fix is in. Barring a miracle, Romney will be the candidate.
I think Cain is angling for the VP slot, and is likely to get it. Whether that is enough to hold the GOP together is doubtful.
Cain is riding the wave right now. when the Giant news story is that he wins a poll of 367 “GOP” voters, you know the msm is desperate.
Let’s see how Herm does in the Fundraising poll.
His candidacy makes no sense, he is in it to help Romney, ofthat I am convinced.
How could ANY Tea Party Member support a candidate that says his Tax plan will raise the debt.
Bullhockey.
I voted for Romney in ‘08 as well (based on no other alternatives except McCain). Doesn’t mean I will this time.
Ok. I did nit read the article, am responding to your comment. How is my possible vote in the primary for Cain a vote for Romney?
Perhaps Supporting Cain = Supporting Cain. Just a thought...
sorry, been there done that.
if it’s romney, i’m not voting.
i voted for 2 bush turds.
Mittens is the one who has a ceiling and it seems to be about 25%. I see no reason to presume a ceiling on Cain's part. Over the next month or two conservatives will begin to migrate from the lower-performing candidates to the stronger ones. Cain has performed well these last few weeks and if he keeps it up he could be solidly out front soon.
Let's be truthful: with his ties to crony capitalism, Rick Perry is a lot closer to Mitt Romney than Herman Cain is.
D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E
BS
Just like he has been as governor of Texas, Rick Perry would be George Bush’s third term. Like Bush, Perry campaigns like a conservative and governs like a moderate and is more interested in what’s good for their beloved Mexico than what’s good for the U.S.
The primary differences is that Bush is more honest (when you’re born rich you don’t need to sink to “pay to play” schemes) and more articulate than Perry.
This is the most obvious fact for everyone to see but some on our side are totally missing it. Cain acting as an attack dog for Romney against Perry hoping that Romney would become the nominee and pick him as his VP.
The article assumes Cain will hit a ceiling and that he will be unable to really challenge Romney, that his biggest impact would be to split the non-Romney vote to Romney’s benefit.
That might not be the case and Cain could continue to cut into Perry’s support and gain from other candidates and undecideds. Many hope Perry’s problems are only poor debate performances that are correctable, but his problems might well be his record on illegal immigration and other issues that many non-Romney voters will not forgive.
You’re pathetic. Go pimp La Raza Rick somewhere else.
1. You never refute the crony capitalism/socialism and “pay-to-play” charges
2. You send far more time and energy attacking Herman Cain than talking about Rick Perry's pluses
