...by Cain willing to go up against one of the best debaters in our nation it shows he's unafraid to take on the best of them...that's courage. So where are the other candidates? Well Perry's not going to do debates I understand...that's a cowards way out no matter how one wants to discenr his intent. Besides Perry never wanted to run anyway...he enjoys his current job...obviously.
Bachman's struggling to get her place...and Romeny's in his typical cruise control, taking up air space while other s "work" at winning. He's simply letting the media and GOP do his work for him.
From your lips to God’s ears!
