“Oh... The Cain endorsement is essentially meaningless. Whatever political capital he had has long since evaporated. The only endorsement that might have an impact at this point might be Palin’s”
Unfortunately, Palin’s ‘net worth’ isn’t that much greater than Cain’s.
Here is how we got had.
Early on the conservatives interested put all their chips on Palin. They waited...and they waited and counted on her to run.
Meanwhile Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Santorum all officially entered the race.
The conservatives were still waiting on Palin... waiting...so in order to clear the path for Palin, the conservatives, with a little help from the all too willing establishment helped discredit all the others in the race. Why not, the establishment realized Palin wasn’t going to enter.
The path to winning was right in front of them. Who is stopping it other than Newt? They knew Newt had more baggage to ruin him than all the others. Piece of cake.
So now all that is standing in Romneys way is a flawed guy like Newt.
I myself think Romney stinks, but we got here and there is a reason why we did.
