Wouldn’t surprise me one bit. RINOs are as big a scumbags as liberals.

Agreed. Whoever wins Iowa will get buried in the headlines and when Romney wins NH, the media will have a field day... kind of like John McCain’s orgy after taking NH.

They will do that. But they won’t make it public.

I don’t know if anyone listened to the last caller on Rush today........but it is disturbing.

1964 all over again, when the GOP old-guard (including Mitt Romney’s father) refused to endorse the nominee.

Think of the Christine O’Donnel election. Karl Rove and the GOP establishment went off on here verbally. The state GOP refused to give her any money or support after she won the primary (they didn’t even have her as the nominee on their web site). Then, they blamed the Tea Party for her loss.

Think of that happening on a national level.

The C key is right next to the V key.

I thought it was next to the C# key.

The more interesting question is what will they do if Cain wins the nomination. At a minimum, I expect many establishment types to endorse, and campaign for, Obama. I also think there will be a big push to get Romney to run as an independent.

Between Cain and Obama, there is little doubt at this point that most of the GOP establishment would want Obama to win.

IA, NH and SC, he would have it nearly wrapped up at that point, wouldn’t he?

I honestly think that he is at risk of being assassinated by a “right wing extremist” if he gets the nomination. I sincerely believe they would go that far. Right now, the country is on the brink and the stakes are VERY high. Desperate times call for desperate action.

They will pull some legal hocus-pocus and have a judge crown mittens as their candidate. After all, it’s his turn. Right?

You can probably forget about New Hamp-shah. Sometimes, I wonder if they just like to be contrarian to the preceeding primary.

I think if the rino establishment tries to tell Cain that, he just might tell them where to go themselves..he got this far without them and with them actually working against him...they didn’t make him, hard to tell him what to do...

If Cain actually takes a lie detector test and passes, he is golden.

If these hit jobs against Herman Cain don't work, the Establishment will come up with others. They don't want an outsider winning.

If Sarah Palin had run, she would be facing even worse.

If the Establishment wins and knows it can keep doing this in the future, then we, the people, will find it hopeless to fix our government.

We cannot let them win. Please, do not waver in your support for Herman Cain.
