That is a reasonable idea.

She’s not running.

Cain has pledged to campaign against Obama during the primaries. He said he would respond to any attacks against him, but that he would not pro actively attack anyone but Obama (and other Democrat liberals).

A little information can be a misleading thing:
FTR, he did not reverse himself: he said he would absolutely not appoint anyone believing in Sharia Law — which is what he always meant and in effect the same thing. Frankly, I think the odds of him appointing any Muslim is less than zero.

I suspect that is how Cain will campaign. He’s got a long record of attacking liberals and liberalism in books and speeches and on radio going back many years- and of course Obama is liberal number one at this point in history.

He also has a record of attacking the elite GOP establishment too, so I imagine he’ll throw some comments out there about that without mentioning names of any of the more moderate candidates.

One telling factor about Herman Cain is how well he is liked by “the home folks”. I can tell you that Herman Cain’s stock is sky high in his home state of Georgia.

The man’s story is compelling, as are his principles. I’m anxious to see how he does in Iowa.

Ditto’s. And I’m not sure what would be more entertaining: Cain V Obama in a debate or Bolton V Biden. Neither Cain nor Bolton are known to mince words. They both love America — one understands the free market intimately and the other understands the cruel world outside America absolutely. Bullet proof ticket IMO if it could happen.

If it is Cain or Palin either one or both, they have my vote.

I agree, Cain is the best we have and I will be voting for him.

Cain is my first choice. Bolton would be icing on the cake.

She’s not running what - the “One Nation” bus or not running for POTUS? Give me some facts to go along with the assertion.

Was it “misleading” or was it “LYING”?

There’s a lot of that going around in regards to Cain.

How about the obvious fact...Which Primary state is the bus hitting?

The inability to grasp the obvious negates your credibility in making the ‘give me some facts’ demand.

Wow. There’s only several million people who apparently are not “grasping the obvious” of your view of things. Why say stuff like that if you can’t take being asked for good, strong evidence without getting all huffed about it? It’s a fair and honest question. Otherwise what you say doesn’t amount to much.

Not getting huffy at all. The tenor of your question set the discussion on that path.

let me ask you your own question...what about the bus tour, says she’s running?

There’s no tenor in my question. Your original statement was quite emphatic, as though somehow you KNOW she’s not running. I’m simply asking you why are you sure - what evidence you have. I’m quite interested as long as it’s substantive and unbiased.

The lack of field organization to begin with.

The lack of even remotely sniffing the three early states.

And the simplest fact...it profits her nothing to run a race that will split at least three ways, and that the MSM will go more than the distance to protect the incumbent.
