You’re right, Perry was doing much better. You know I’m not a Perry supporter but that was painful to watch. Having been I felt sorry for him. I don’t want him to be the Republican nominee but I don’t wish public humiliation on anyone. okay, maybe Obama and Biden.

I knew what he was going through, I was a member of Toastmasters for years and those lapses do happen, even to the very best public speakers.

Starting out I had Palin, Perry, Bachmann, Cain, in that order, as my choices. Here in PA our primary isn’t until April so I guess I’ll have to see who is still in the race by then. Right now I’m down to three choices.

I don’t want him to be the Republican nominee

Do you want a nominee that will lose the general? Will that satisfy people like you? I've seen this before from politically unsophisticated people (legions on this site). I know a lot of people who are involved at upper levels of politics (Republicans, Democrats, and Independants) and they all say Cain will lose the general. If Republicans are foolish enough to nominate him (and I believe there's a chance of this), then the press will unload on him in a way in manner that will make your head spin. Count on it. The movers and shakers in the Republican Party are NOT as stupid as many posting on this site believe. They understand electoral politics. Just remember New York, California, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Illinois have just almost enough electoral votes to win. California, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York are a lost cause as is Illinois. Does Cain help and hurt in the swing state? Sometime some of you posters ought to think about. Cain might help win a few more votes in states that Republicans are gonna win anyway, but does he help in the swing states that will determine the election? The movers and shakers don't think so. Just some food for thought.
