Until Cain goes after Romney, I will believe he is in this WITH Romney. He has even said he'd be Romney's VP and Romney continues to praise Cain.
Ate raw, rusty nails today, did ya? Gotta spit them suckers out somewhere, I guess.
“But the Cain campaign is now getting a huge influx of contributions and it has been suggested they may be raking in $200,000 a day online now, which would translate to more than $5 million by the end of October. That would be “Romney-esque money,” as one GOP consultant put it, and if they could keep up that pace, Team Cain might be approaching financial parity with Perry and Romney by Thanksgiving”
Cain is bring in the cash now, which was his last big hurdle.
It is too early for Cain to go after Romney. First, what has to happen is that Cain has to solidify his position as the only conservative opponent of Romney.
None of the conservative branch of GOP voters are likely to break for Romney.
Conclusion: Bachmann & Santorum need to drop out being so far behind. Then Cain needs to peel away most of Perry’s support. When Cain & Romney are the only 2 left, Romney has no chance to win.
Has Cain gone after any Republicans in this race? Maybe, like Newt, he's focused on Obama & not scorching Republican earth. Maybe others can learn from Herman Cain on how to promote your cause without tearing down your team.
I have to say that it's starting to get disconcerting to see concervatives lowering themselves to call other conservatives names. Like your post. Is that how Gov Perry inspires people?
Who came to texas and bailed perry out in the last election, hint it wasn’t Cain. http://politicalwire.com/archives/2011/09/21/romney_broke_law_to_help_perry.html
HC: Not in my opinion, and in my opinion, it doesn’t have any reflection on Governor Perry. And I quite personally would rather people move on from that. It is a distraction. I want people to compare my economic growth and jobs plan to Governor Perry’s economic growth and jobs plan. I want people to focus on my economic growth and jobs plan versus Governor Romney’s economic growth and jobs plan. That’s what I want people to focus on.
HH: The other eyebrow raiser was when you told, I can’t remember who it was, and if I did, I wouldn’t give him the plug, that you couldn’t support Rick Perry right now. And I’m looking for all the Republicans except Ron Paul to say about all the other ones, I am going to support the nominee, regardless of who it is, that comes out of this process. Can you say that, Herman Cain?
HC: I’ve got to answer that two ways. Now that’s an entrapment question.
HH: (laughing)
HC: I did say, Hugh, that based upon Governor Perry’s positions on some of the things today like being soft on securing the border, providing tuition assistance for children of illegal aliens, I have a heart, but I happen to believe you cannot basically provide incentives for people to keep doing the same illegal behavior. And based upon a number of other things, I can’t support him today based upon his position on things. That being said, I don’t think he’s going to get the nomination. Now if it’s one of those other candidates up there, I am going to support them 100%. If Governor Perry gets the nomination, I will still support him, but it won’t be 100%.
HH: Okay, last question, in terms of the 999 plan…

I believe that is very obvious and MB is another one never attacking Mitt but protecting him.
