You know why people like Cain?
Because he is funny, engaging, easy to understand, and talks like a normal person. No political-ese.
I always remember our friend Common Tator’s maxim: THE MOST LIKABLE CANDIDATE WINS.
Based on that, in order of likability we have Cain, Perry, Newt (based on debate performance only), Romney, Santorum and Bachman.
This has nothing to do with who is smartest, most conservative, etc. Purely on television appearance likability.
Obama won because the GOP managed to find the ONE candidate who was less appealing than Obama. Bush beat Gore based on the likability quotient. Bush beat Kerry for the same reason.
If Cain can get enough money, he will win based on this. He also will not get to debate with Obama until very late, one debate, much like Carter and Reagan. (There is no law requiring Obama to debate at all.)
This is how I see the race right now. Things can change, or course. I also think Perry could pull this out, and we might end up with a Perry/Cain ticket.
I liked Cain at first but the more I hear him talk about details of his plans, the less I like him.
Yes, that's my take on it too. 0bama cannot brag about his economic success so foreign success will be a major arrow in his dwindling quiver.
That is, IF we let him get away with it. 0bamas so-called foreign policy success is a mirage in that all he did was to follow what was already working. I'll give him credit for increasing our use of predator drones but I'd want that verified before saying it.
Appaling is what the media/press has done, trying to spin 0bama's record and failing to complain when 0bama acts WITHOUT congressional approval.
Probably not as much as the 0bama Brotherhood will get.
What a boring line-up. Depressing.
Yes, but most people don’t bother with details (the secret to democrat success).
My judgment is based on TV appearances, not on details.
He may be spot on with some of his positions, but the delivery is sorely lacking. There were a few responses, particularly in discussing the Perry/Romney exchange, where I fully expected Paul to begin laughing maniacally. My position on him stands at a solid “no thanks.”
That would be a decent ticket... Perry/Cain. We’d have a good president and Cain could learn something about government.
However, Cain has stated that he would not be Perry’s veep.
I think any candidate worth his salt can make a good case that Ozero has done nothing more than read the teleprompter, play golf and run for reelection.
Bray,
I would believe the war the Blue Bloods are having with the Tea Party, hands down.
I say oncit a week and I shall say now....the Elite Ruling Class Blue Blood Republican party will rip of the heads of their own base and crap down the bloody necks even as they reach across the aisle with manicured hands.
If no one else knows it Bray, know that I do.
Thanks AB. Another Muslim Brotherhood country launched w/o UN, NATO or KFOR-type oversight and “help”. Just let the chips fall where they may (The Obama Doctrine).
I hope this doesn’t fall into the category of discussing primary candidates, which I swore not to do, but Fishtalk is here and she knows this stuff so,
What did I hear about Christine O’Donnell? Did she really endorse Romney?
She sure did. Read it yesterday. Surprised me for sure.
Sure. One. He’s a Democrat which means never to have to say your sorry. Two. Democrats are taking credit for a good economy during his last years, which was given to him by Newt Gingrich and the Republicans controlling both houses of congress.
Other than the above, what else could it be?
With its lack of curiosity, FNC has now joined the ranks of the MSM.
^^
Lack of curiosity or total complicity?
