Sorry. You seemed to be defending Perry. I like Cain too, and would happily vote for him. I would not happily vote for Perry.
I wasn’t defending Perry, except insofar as many of the comments were going over the top and actually out of the realm of reality on this issue, and this issue only.
I have all the sames concerns as you listed about Perry, and just like McCain, would not happily vote for him.
I would like to see Cain more prominent, but it seems most are falling into the media, DNC, and RNC establishment trap and are only focusing on Perry and Romney. Which is why I pretty much stay out of the candidate arguments. The Gardasil issue, however, is one I was involved with before it became an issue (to some people) in this race.
