Cain simply doesn't know enough about policy to win the nomination. He draws a blank on anything that can't be answered with 999 (which isn't good policy either). Sorry, Herman won't be the nominee. Nice guy, good motivational speaker, not ready for prime time.
Gingrich or Perry are the only viable alternatives to Romney. Sadly, Perry can't communicate well enough for the job. Newt seems to be the only real option at this point.
Gotta agree. Cain is being vetted and won’t make it. Sorry guys.
And I am telling you that if we pick Newt or Perry for that fact, we will lose. Why are FREEPERS giving up on the conservatives? Bachmann is extremely intelligent. Santorum is so conservative that I don’t think anyone is more so and Cain has a varied experience that no other has. This is the saddest election ever.
If you look at Newt’s background, you see an impulsive individual who does unpredictable and unexplainable things that do not, at times, fit into a Conservative mind set. I am not comfortable with this type of shifting, unsteady Conservative personality. Just six months ago or so, he was a supporter of the unConstitutional individual mandate in Federal health insurance. Before that he took center stage with Pelosi as a proponent for global warming. Look at his personal life. Three marriages suggests to me an impulsive individual who doesn’t know what he really wants, even in his personal life. For someone who is obviously very smart, he still exhibits a very immature, impulsive personality in his professional and personal actions.
Anyway, I just finished watching the entire 35 minute interview from which the Libya gaffe was snipped. And I must say, it was not nearly as bad when seen with the entire line of questioning that led up to that gaffe. Let me put it this way: I was equally as shocked to see how much LESS BAD it was when framed by the entire interview, rather than snipped right at the moment where he was pausing to collect his thoughts.
And as an aside, when Cain commented that he had asked Kissinger to be his Secretary of State, it was clear (to me) that he was joking. But he had an audience with clearly zero sense of humor, so the joke fell flat.
Second aside, there was one punk reporter in the room, who would not drop a line of questioning, despite Cain saying a half-dozen times that he was done commenting on that topic. I wish Cain would have reached over and B-slapped him. Finally, another journalist even helped Cain tell the punk to shut up.
Only 370 Registered Voters?
Any sample less then 800 likely voters is a worthless media push poll being spun to drive the story line, not a serious poll.
I expect these sort of sleazy tactics from the Leftist media. I thought Fox was better then this.
