Wait a minute there...Cain did not get mugged, he stood up quite well to a lot of attacking from those without a plan. I thought he defended himself well, an important thing to elucidate in a debate setting, defense of your case and attack of the other...He exonerated himself well both in policy and technique.

I think he was damaged on his 999 plan, and also the hostage question. If I'm right, Cain's poll numbers will drop off in the next week or so. If you're right, they won't. We'll see,

No way. SMART people get the apples and oranges analogy. I do — it’s simple, and logical.

Right now we pay state taxes, and yet STILL deal with the enormous hairy crazy tax code on top of it.

Cain’s plan replaces the hairy tax code w/ something ELSE. End result: your’e going to pay less overall than you would have before, even w/ the same state sales tax in place.

Mitt’s the stupid one w/ his fruit basket analogy. He doesn’t get it, and neither do the stupid reporters.

If Cain was “damaged” by his 9-9-9 plan, it’s because the people attacking him still don’t understand it.

If you’re going to debate someone on the centerpiece of their campaign, at least take the time to learn about it.

Stating falsehoods about someone else doesn’t create much respect, and they don’t get my vote.

These people are running for President - they should at least understand their opponent and not make false attacks on their proposals.

They are either intellectually lazy, or just pushing lies to tear down their opponent.

I can’t vote for someone like that.
