We have you on the record, then, that Cain is hopeless. Like plenty of other Americans, now famous and at the top of their chosen fields, who had been told to “fuggedaboudit”...
If Palin runs, what do you think of her chances?
Cain can’t win the nomination. No chance. He didn’t even get nominated for Senate in his own state and has never won an election.
Palin has won elections and has a shot of winning it—she built up some serious grassroots infrastructure stumping all over the country last year for off-year candidates.
In the general, they both could beat Obobo but GOTV would be the key. Conservatives are good at GOTV and RINOs stink at it. But RINOs control the money and the Republican Party regulars who will just crush Cain. Whereas, through McCain, Palin has at least some connectivity there.
But everybody who is for Cain is for Cain and think he can win and there’s nothing I can say that would matter one way or the other. So, speaking sincerely, good luck. He’s obviously a very good man.
