Hmmmm. 5000 women? And chillun too? AND Billybob, I mean Little Billybob lives next door to me?

That’ll take some thought. Do I get to call in artillery too?

Are you saying Perry can save civilization?

Bwahahahah!

I live in Texas. I've seen Perry. I'm telling you straight, he has warts we haven't seen yet. Texas is a success story because we are Texas. Governors come and go and Texas stays Texas. We have had liberals try to start an income tax and various other commie crap and it doesn't work. We stop it just like we stopped Gardasil and the TTC. They try to stop the death penalty periodically among other foolishness. Even with snowbirds coming every year, we change them to Texans, not the other way around. Perry is a liberal and the Repubs act like he is Reagan Jr.

If you are counting on Perry, you will be disappointed.

So, now that a more recent scientific poll (Fox News) came out showing a significant decline for Perry, are you finally going to concede that debates do matter?

You kept saying the CNN poll proved Perry’s numbers wouldn’t drop and many tried to warn that you were engaged in wishful thinking....

You were right, and now Romney will be the nominee, which is what the insiders wanted from the start.

Don’t lose heart yet, FRiend. As predicted, Romney’s numbers are not gaining despite Perry’s decline. That suggests what you and I both pointed out - that Romney’s appeal hit its limit.

Although, the RINOs and establishment types will strongly push conservatives like us to back Romney for the sake of unity, there is enough pushback that a Romney nomination is not guaranteed at this point.

It will be a long primary, and lots can happen. Cain is the new favored one right now. He may be able to surpass Romney and actually win - still have to wait and see. Perry certainly isn’t down and out either. He’s still in the top 3 and it’s possible he could climb back up.

Romney.... wow... I am actually starting to slip into a deep depression. I like Cain, but i’m practical, and I know it takes money (big money) and a massive organization to win a national election, and frankly Cain has none. He just admitted he already considered dropping out of the race twice now.. which tells you just how bad his position is.

This is catastrophic in my opinion.

I hope your right and something else happens, who knows maybe the conservatives will finally turn their guns on the real threat in the room (romney) at the next debate.

I agree that Cain’s campaign is not ready for the big time. He is getting lots of grass-roots support, which is great...but for him to actually pull off the upset, he’s going to need a lot of help.

At some point, the candidates will turn on Romney and attack him for being the flip-flopping, liberal that he is. With the Tea Party element being a strong force right now, there’s no way Romney will advance.
