Cain was worth defending. Had Cain gotten more support from conservatives, he would have weathered the storm and would likely be our front runner even now. Instead, conservatives decided to focus on irrelevant perceived weaknesses and failed to see the true value of the man. For this same reason they are incapable of making a rational decision on which candidate to support amongst the remaining few.
Perry is obviously the superior candidate and the last conservative standing. But conservatives will split their votes on Newt, a progressive, and Santorum, a boring, unoriginal candidate, and will mock Perry into oblivion. Because it doesn’t matter what a man’s platform is or his true worth; what matters is how well he can tickle conservative itching ears and fulfill other superficial standards.
I agree with you about Perry, but why are people acting like this is over and decided after one caucus and one liberal state primary?
Let’s at least get through super Tuesday before we throw in the towel.
