I don’t think Cain has a chance

At this point in 2007 McCain was the one of the three bottom candidates and 0 was a virtual unknown. At that point "everyone knew" it was going to be "Hillary vrs Giuliani IN 2008.

You are exactly right. I remember the shrill panic coming from the folks on here who were so worried about She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named that they supported Rudy because “He’s the only one who can beat her.”

Most of them are no longer with us here, having gotten so hostile, it was impossible to talk to them.

Excellent point! Thanks for posting it!

A shame Rudy didn't win. Just think of the money we'd have saved if both the President and First Lady were consolidated into one person.

Michelle Obama'$ killing u$

The two biggest lessons for me in ‘08 was 1) Huck organizing thru the churches in Iowa right under everyone’s noses to win the caucus, and 2) McCain taking the whole shooting match after literally being dead in the water just a few months earlier. It taught me that conventional wisdom is often idiotic and to never get complacent again about the nomination process.

I think this one’s going to have alot of twists/turns/surprises too.

I have been limply for Perry because I don’t see Cain as a national contender.

But, maybe that’s changing. Impressive results.

I really like him and love the FairTax.

Early in 1973, most thought it would be EMK v. Agnew in 1976.
