Do you think he can handle the Obamas/dems and get elected? The press has already started their attacks. Rove will attack as well.
One thing I'm sure about, however, is that Obamas/dems and throw in the Fourth Estate (LOL)—I mean the driveby media—WILL attack/go after/lie about/ridicule/conspire against any and all GOP candidates.
Mitt may think that the press is his pal but if he does win the nomination come late August of 2012 they'll turn on him like a ferocious tiger; just like they did to McCain.
It's apparent to me that they WANT Mitt to be our nominee because they think they can win against him. For that reason conservatives should have Mitt as their LAST choice.
Whether Herman can do it depends on us and a massive get-out-the-vote and campaign to convince the middle-of-the-roaders that Herman is REAL. Just like the dems tried to paint Reagan as a bumbling, intellectual light-weight cowboy who would take us to war with the Soviets, they will try to paint Herman as a non-serious, never-been-elected buffoon... It is up to Cain to prove that just isn't so.
He talks to the American heart, in my opinion. Now he just has to get people to listen to him....
