If it's not Perry, it's Romney, if it's Romney, it's Obama.
That about sums it up. Here's a little visual aid that might help those who cannot see past the ends of their noses:

While Cain is likely to hit a ceiling in the near future, he's effectively dug into Perry's base and helped expose the frontrunner's weakness. Fracturing the anti-Romney vote has made it all the easier for Romney to win.
With New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie out of the race, no one is competing with Romney for moderate Republicans.
Cain himself might not be too upset with that outcome. While he's been a frequent critic of Romney on the trail, he endorsed the tenuous front-runner in 2008.

This is the most obvious fact for everyone to see but some on our side are totally missing it. Cain acting as an attack dog for Romney against Perry hoping that Romney would become the nominee and pick him as his VP.
The article assumes Cain will hit a ceiling and that he will be unable to really challenge Romney, that his biggest impact would be to split the non-Romney vote to Romney’s benefit.
That might not be the case and Cain could continue to cut into Perry’s support and gain from other candidates and undecideds. Many hope Perry’s problems are only poor debate performances that are correctable, but his problems might well be his record on illegal immigration and other issues that many non-Romney voters will not forgive.
You’re pathetic. Go pimp La Raza Rick somewhere else.
The conventional wisdom in NV was Reid was a dead man walking. It didn't happen.
We need a candidate that campaigns well and represents core American values.
If Romney is the nominee the Pub base will not be as enthusiastic. As more and more of Romney's liberal beliefs when he held power are revealed what little enthusiasm there was will fade.
obama is trying to run a populist "us against the rich" campaign. When Bain Capital is examined Romney will be the picture perfect "rich guy who doesn't pay his fair share", or the "evil capitalist who fired people".
If Romney is the nominee obamas odds go up.

Welcome to the club of truth.
Actually Clarity is a nice change from the mudslinging going on lately.
Have you though of bagging your stuff and selling it to gardeners?
1. You never refute the crony capitalism/socialism and “pay-to-play” charges
2. You send far more time and energy attacking Herman Cain than talking about Rick Perry's pluses
I am getting tired of journalist telling me how to vote and why Herman Cain can’t win. This includes Charles Krauthammer, Bill O’Reilly, Rush.
Kartographer, thanks for following these threads closely and countering posts from the depressing, nasty, negative, nay sayers. Congratulations to the naysayers for carrying Obama’s water. They are more damaging to the conservative side than the commies over at DU. Or maybe they are the commies from DU, sometimes I am not sure. I believe that true conservatives are eternal optimists like Ronald Reagan and Herman Cain.
I didn't know that.
If only. I’m getting a thrill up my leg just thinking about RINO vapors.
Perry will be easily painted by the media as an inarticulate idiot, since he is in fact, an inarticulate idiot.
Each Obama-Perry debate would be a insane roll of the dice, a potential horror show. At best, Perry might squeak through by mouthing platitudes and repeating talking points and just lose a few percent of the vote. At worst, his performance would resemble his recent GOP debates, i.e., his gaffes, mistakes and incoherence would accurately display his stupidity, showcasing him as clearly unfit for the office - and Independents and wavering Dems would return en masse to Obama.
Yep. Darn it, let’s put forth a good candidate for a change.
Hell, he could do more harm in the near term. Right now it looks like the Republicans will end up with both houses of Congress. They can easily say NO! to a big-spending Democrat in the Oval Office. They pretty much have to go along with a big-spending Republican.
I watched that part. When asked if the deficit and debt will increase, he says categorically that they will not.
Herman Cain, can’t hurt might help.
Consider his opposition and you will get the Big Picture real quick!
Oh how the once mighty have fallen.
