LOL, another non-candidate bus tour.... Sorry Herman, that only worked for Sarah because people thought she might actually be a candidate. It’s not so easy to pull off once you’ve dropped out of a contention.
Besides, it wasn’t that 999 was ever that popular, it was the fact that Cain as a candidate represented the possibility of big, out-of-the-box, non-establishment change. 999 won’t stand on it’s own, and this bus tour isn’t likely to amount to much.
Nailed it.
It wasn’t specifically the 9-9-9 formula itself that had me interested in what Cain had to say. It was the fact that he was talking about scrapping the mayhem we have now. And I sensed that he would get the job done. A job that will require a strong leader, strong salesman, and likely - someone who gladly accept the likelihood of 1 term if he/she follows principal over popularity.
Perry had also put together a plan I was more interested in. Haven’t heard a peep about it in weeks, not sure what conclusion to draw there but can say tax policy resonates with me as a voter.
FWIW right now I’m 60/40 on Gingrich vs. Santorum.
