You asked the question:

which conservative candidate has the best shot of knocking out Romney and Obama?

Do you or anyone seriously think that Bachmann or Cain have a chance of beating Romney and Obama? This is not a "beauty contest" (as in who is "the most conservative that we like"), the fate of the nation is at stake.

I think it's time for conservatives to wake up and smell reality that a) Perry IS a conservative and b) he IS the ONLY conservative who is electable -- can beat Romney and Obama.

A Republican HAS to win. It is the only way to shut down the Marxist Czar Regime that has been built up over the last 3 years. Also, we must win back the Senate (big if possible) and build up the majority in the House. What do you think another 4 years of Obama will do to SCOTUS? Possible 2 more ultra libs judges on the bench would doom this country for ever and ever.

I think Perry is going to have one helluva problem overcoming his perceived support for illegal aliens and his objection to a border fence and his infamous “heartless if you don’t” insult. Conservatives are not going to flock to him unless he has some magic way of erasing the self-inflicted bucket-mouth damage.

yep. Perry is such a great debater!

...in the last Governor election, Perry was so good in the debates,
it was almost as if the other candidates weren’t there !

=
(and, after Fast and Furious, Solyndra, and other coming,
Obama won’t even be their candidate on the ballot in 2012 !
...the Democrats WON’T run him, if he can’t win.
they’ll switch like they did in NJ a few years ago.
Maybe with Cuomo. We shouldn’t focus on Obama too much.

...So we need to select the best CONSERVATIVE, who can best undo the damage, and fix the business economy.
That’s Cain.
...not a big government open borders ex democrat who campaigned for Al Gore...)

You've got that right. There are 127 posts, but none offer any evidence or analysis that demonstrates the candidate they like can win.

Defeating Obama is serious business. It isn't any gimme, where any candidate the GOP puts up will prevail. FR beauty contests aren't going to select the most effective candidate. It is more likely to select a losing candidate.

Your A and B are both wrong. But nice try. Show me a single conservative out there that would dare call those who oppose illegals 'heartless'.
