Cain is finished, Perry is done, Paul is rising

[anaconda]

The establishment has already nominated Romney, now they are just flailing away for a pseudo-rebel so they can say we had a choice. What little I pay attention to the media, I've heard the talking heads speculating a Perry rebound. They are just fishing for someone, but, like the Fed, they have run out of ammunition.

If we can isolate Romney in a two-tier race, we can close the gap on him. But we need 3 or 4 more percentage points and we need Perry and Cain to accelerate their crash-and-burns. We may get this sooner than later, if last night's debate is any indication..

I think the final 3 are Paul Romney Gingrich

Edit: A lot of the Huckabee supporters, and I know quite a few living down here where he was born and went to school, will not vote for Romney

If they won't vote for Romney, even less chance they'd go for Newt, right?

 

[KingNothing]

Apples and Oranges you say?

I raise you:

To quote the timeless Ralph Wiggum: "Go banana!"

To quote the timeless Ralph Wiggum: "Go banana!"

During the debate last night. When Cain and Romney went off for a solid 30 seconds about Apples and Oranges.


My fiancee` says: "They're both Bananas."


and then I died in hysterical bliss.

Could be that some have realized (or anticipate) the gig is up, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

Why so pessimistic?

Interesting. Very possible. Newt has been very patient and has been steadily rising.

Suzu not exactly.

These Southern Baptists don't remember his baggage! I truly think from the beginning the Perry Cain sideshow was planned to keep the focus off Gingrich so he can slip in, Palin endorsement will be big. Huckabee was a preacher down here, hard to get them to vote for a "libertarian." We need to expose Gingrich history.

 

[SpicyTurkey]

Yeah but nobody watches msnbc.

The people that matter don't.

 

[Paul4Prez]

Watch for a media-engineered meteoric rise for Newt. They're running out of options.

 

[tfurrh]

I had my tv on here and Rachel Maddow just praised Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jmdrake]

Yeah but nobody watches msnbc.

Which is why we've got to call into talk radio with this information.

 

[Brett85]

What poll did you see that led you to this conclusion?

 

[RDM]

Actually they're not out of options. This game of three card monty was planned out many many months ago with various scenarios before the actual "real" game was played. What you're going to see is the prop up of Gingrich to the point they'll have him walking on water in a few weeks. This buys time for them to allow Perry to gather himself and see if his support stabilizes. If Perry has good responses from his TV ads, then they'll slowly begin to pump him up slowly to spark renewed interest. During this time they'll let natural voter reaction toward Cain run its course and monitor him. If interest remains steady with Cain, then the "professional" version of three card monty gets played with Romney being the dummy card while the others play their roles. Its all smoke and mirrors to get the solid focus on Romney without Romney damaging his image.

Sad to say that the Cain exposure today has pushed up his likes on facebook. They dropped a lot after the debate but since rebounded.

Why will Cain not go away. I'm speechless that Americans are this clueless.

Apparently he just gained a bunch of fans who are pro choice.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

How does MSNBC stay on the air? I understand they haven't been able to garner a significant audience in years now.

How many people have you ever seen win at three card monty?

 

[PaulConventionWV]

People are opening their eyes to how insightful Ron Paul actually is. They're starting to realize that we aren't as small as they thought.

Then why aren't the poll numbers rising? Why are we still struggling at a lousy 10%?

 

[69360]

So? Those people by and large don't vote in GOP primaries.

But Cain will just flip on this tomorrow and get away with it.
