I agree with your post. Seeing Herman Cain at that press conference earlier today, I feel that conservatives ought to stand with him and not let the Leftists and RINOs drive him out of the race. If we allow that to happen, it won't matter who the Tea Party gets behind. We will have given the enemy a blueprint that they can use on any of our candidates.

I was a supporter of Palin until she decided not to run. I switched over to Herman Cain and haven't looked back. I have no bitterness for Palin however. She may yet be a player in future election cycles.

Only way I see Palin getting into the current race is if Cain falters and I see no signs of that happening. I believe Cain will be around for the early primaries and has a solid chance of taking two of the first three, which should put in end to Mitt Romney and put Cain in the driver's seat all the way to the nomination.

However, should Cain not fare well in the primaries and Mitt Romney somehow sweeps Iowa, NH and SC, I think that is the most likely scenario that pulls Palin into this thing. Obviously she'll be at a big disadvantage of missing the first few primaries but she should pick up enough delegates to either win outright or force a brokered convention in the summer. If it came down to Palin and Romney at a brokered convention, Palin would have the Tea Party behind her and all the momentum. We are talking historic times.

But I'm really projecting here. I still believe the most likely scenario here is for Herman Cain to take the nomination outright. A lot of people prematurely declared Cain to be toast when all those allegations came out over the past week. But Cain hasn't missed a beat and his fundraising is accelerating - not in decline. I think a nerve has been struck in the Tea Party with all these baseless attacks upon him and many of us are starting to realize that we have our "new Reagan" right in front of our own eyes.

Bump. Stand by this scurriously wronged, Alinksy-ed man, or make your bed in HOT HELL and sleep on the other side with our Sworn Socialist Enemies Politico and Gloria Allred there in reprehensible TREASON, is what I say. It has come to that. People need to chose. I am making my list of RINOs and so-called Conservatives on the airwaves who piled on, either in full mode, or through soft innuendo and doubt-spreading, dovetailing into the "well, he couldnt win anyways". This is sheer Romneyism at work, and I detest it to the core.
