GOP Debate: Perry Implodes, Crowd Explodes and Cain Wins
Yahoo News ^ | Nov. 10th, 2011 | Sherry Tomfeld

Posted on 11/10/2011 11:32:43 AM PST by stillafreemind

I like Herman Cain and I was nervous about the CNBC debate. For the previous nine days, Cain has been busy trying to defend himself against sexual harassment charges. The whole ordeal has been a distraction from the Cain campaign, 9-9-9, the other GOP candidates and the upcoming primaries and election.

Whether you thought he won or not, Cain showed up ready to face the moderators, his rivals and the American people. He was unflappable, stayed focus and on message, and showed us why a businessman might be the right pick for president this time.

I couldn't help thinking about what guts it must have took to go face everyone in that debate last night. After all Cain has been put through the last couple of weeks..he shows real strength to me. I'm still gonna vote for him.

Yep. Cain has great principles. Perry unfortunately does not have a one. If Cain hits it out of the park on Saturday during the Foreign Policy debate, it is over and Cain will win!

That's what we thought electing Arnold Schwarzenegger as Governor of CA. Successful actor and businessman.

I hope Herman turns out differently.

I hope this happens, but I will be watching with crossed-fingers.

I personally think Saturday will be a Newt Gingrich tour de force.

What you’re seeing there is a politician who is trying to please everyone vs a man who states and explains his principals and asks the listener to decide whether he agrees or not.

The Cain accusers have a very serious problem on their hands now.

The swirling Penn State sex scandal (and a fistful of conspiracy theories that are now breaking out all around it) are sucking every bit of oxygen out of the news cycle.

That man is going to be our next President.

People laughed at Ronald Reagan. Cain is not synthetic like so much of the professional political class.

The fact he’s never held elective office before is a good thing. We need a new way of thinking in this country - fresh insights.

Cain has nowhere to go but up!

Cutting off your opponent’s legs won’t make you run faster.

Showing that Obama is dumb won’t make Perry seem smarter.

The meme comming out of Perry supporters is “well, at least he’s smarter than Obama”. This, imho, is a losing strategy for the Perry campaign. We don’t need someone that’s “smarter than Obama”, we need someone that’s smart—period.

Well let`s see, Perry was a C-130 pilot.

YUP, dumb as a stump as only idiots are allowed in the left seat of large aircrafts.

What? A ok, I see. So they are both not “dumb” dumb. It`s simple gaffes multiplied by the left-wing dominant media that ATTEMPT to portray Perry as dumb and Obama as the messiah.

Happy you got suckered into their false narrative.

Go RINO Romney !!!

This Morning Joe said Cain failed and that our only choices now are Romney or Newt.

No thanks Joe.
