I understand but to say we don’t know much about Cain is not true. The man has a history his written columns, been on the radio for some time. I also know his faults as I do all of the candidates. It is true we have no idea on who he would apoint but do we really know? There are two candidates I wouldn’t trust on the appointment front and those are Romney and Huntsman. I’d vote for Perry in a heart beat but it is pretty clear to me that what I worried about with him is coming to fruition. He has the best ads of any candidate and I like many of his ideas all of which are conservative but he unfortunately reminds people of President Bush and I think that more than anything is hurting him. I fully thought initially he would run away with the race but then he had his ‘have a heart’ immigration moment and things just seem to have fell apart.
Michelle Bachmann has sufferred too. Her team remade her into a plastic stepford wife. I still can’t believe it but for me I will support the strongest conservative. I really like Cain’s story because it is the American dream. Will he be the perfect President? No but he will move us a step in the right direction and that is what I’m looking for and to make sure we work end up going decades back and end up with a Gerald Ford. We have an opportunity in 2012 and I don’t want it thrown away. Right now Perry just hasn’t shown the staying power. That may change but Cain love him or hate him has shown he can weather a storm whether we think he did it artfully or not and that is something none of the others have shown and against Obama there is going to be a storm like we’ve never seen and we need someone who will step into that storm and use it against him. Cain did that and that is a pretty amazing thing.
Well, okay then.
What Cain says is mostly good.
What he’s done is mostly unknown.
But, I’ve said over and over that with all the doubts and fears I have about Cain and with all the insults I’ve suffered from some (not all) of his supporters, I will vote for him if he’s the candidate.
One thing that was a little unsettling on a thread this morning was how many people who were saying they wouldn’t vote if their candidate was nominated.
Or, they’d write in somebody. Or they’d vote 3rd party.
I’ve posted this before, but it bears repeating.
There are 4 ways to vote for Obama.
1. Vote for Obama
2. Write in a candidate
3. Vote third party
4. Don’t vote.
