I wish he would - and I didn’t like Perry to begin with - because Perry is the one who has the most documented conservative positions but is also probably best able to negotiate success (that is, carry out his agenda through third parties, such as Congress).
My personal favorite is Newt Gingrich, but it looks to me as if the GOP has already decided it will be a Romney/Cain ticket.
I think Cain is a decent person and a successful businesman with good inspirations (but little real knowledge of the rest of the world), but he’s not very socially conservative and he’s not presidential material. He’s good at “debates” because he has a radio program. But he will be what the GOP will use to get people to vote for Romney, just the way they used Palin to get people to vote for McCain.
Listen to Rick Perry speak..... he makes stuttering Obama sound like Ronald Reagan. Doesn’t matter what you stand for, have done, or promise to do..... if you can’t articulate your message in a coherent way, no one will buy what you’re selling.
It is strange that Forbes endorses Perry and his tax plan over Newt Gingrich’s, because from what I have seen it is similar to Newt’s plan, but not nearly as good. Newt probably developed his own plan, where someone probably wrote Perry’s for him, handed him the talking points on it, and sent him out in front of the cameras to sell it.
If you have heard Newt talk about his plan in depth, it is clear that he actually can PASS his plan. He is absolutely 100% convincing, and will attract Independents and probably moderate Democrats as well. Perry, not so much.
In what way do you find Mr. Cain not socially conservative?
Romney/Cain ticket is a loser. Romney is McCain or Dole and they cannot be saved with Palin or Kemp in the co-pilot seat.
Romney has zero chance to reach the head of a ticket.
Mitt has never reached an approval rating higher than twenty five percent among Republicans despite all the money he pours into his campaign.
He never will either.
If he ever makes it onto a ticket at all, it will be as VP.
Your ignorance of Herman Cain appears to be total The 9th Commandment is not a suggestion. Bearing false witness is still a sin.
