Who else but Cain? Who else?

Looking at the current field of GOP candidates and having seen the debates thus far, only Cain stands tall.

I was once for that Palin girl but we know the story there. So in absence of Palin, Cain is the one.

Could it be Newt? Don't think so. He's got too much "real" personal baggage to survive a general election. Though he definitely deserves a top role in the Cain Administration.

Could it be Bachmann? Don't think so. While she shares most of Tea Party views, she lacks the charisma that a successful candidate for president needs. Like Newt, she deserves a high place in the Cain Administration.

Could it be Mitt Romney? Hell no.

Could it be Rick Perry? I'm afraid he has suffered too many self-inflicted wounds to be a factor going forward. Also, he's too much a part of the political establishment that conservative voters are tired of.

Could it be Sarah Palin? Only if Cain somehow manages to flame out. She could come into the race late and force a brokered convention. However, this is not the preferred scenario.

Herman Cain gives us the best shot of a conservative Tea Party president in 2012.

That all said, I'm late for lunch so I'm going to grab a meatball and cheese sub at the deli. Thank you very much for listening.

I like Cain. Please don’t misunderstand me...I’d enthusiastically support him.

But given the swirling claims - true or not - are you seriously saying Newt has too much “baggage” to be elected while supporting Cain?

Most of the BS launched at Newt has little credibility. As for his fooling around, I think we have ample precedent that the electorate doesn’t view that as a disqualifier.

.
If Palin was going to do it, she’d never have stepped aside.

She was in control if she wanted it, but someone convinced her that she didn’t.
