Personally, I would prefer him out of the race because he will siphon conservative votes. If it comes down to Romney vs. Cain, I think Cain wins.
Well, his only hope is to not stumble. But that alone doesn’t win debates. To win one has to win out over the others. That’s a high bar coming from where he’s at. The only way he’s out after the race tonight is if he does stumble; and stumble mightily. I expect him to continue being a player, at least for awhile if not longer. But I’m not sure that matters. I wonder if we really understand what we’re seeing here with Cain. Time will tell, but it could be momentous. Not necessarily tonight but the drift of things.
Of course. The guy is not really a principled conservative, so he can't intelligently articulate conservative positions. He's what he was at TX A&M: a "yell leader" who chants slogans someone else dreamed up. He's just another career politician, of the type which has destroyed America by pandering to special interests like the Hispanic/illegal lobby, the Muslim/CAIR lobby, crony capitalists, etc.
