Why Herman Cain May End up As GOP Nominee
Date: October 27, 2011 11:38AM

I was thinking about it this morning and figured out that Cain has a pretty decent shot of ending up as the GOP nominee.

Think about it this way, Romney has, what, a solid 25% of the GOP base? Now, think of that other 75%....they support Cain, Perry, Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, Paul, etc. Do you really envision someone who feels passionate about any of those nutcases getting behind a rational person like Romney?

If it is apparent their nominee has no chance in hell, who do you think they are going to get behind? A Northeast RINO with questionable Conservative credentials and a Mormon faith, or fire-breathing and ill-informed "Conservative" like Cain?

Romney's a liberal who supports socialized healthcare and Cain is only popular because he's black. His ideas are terrible but people are only supporting him to "prove" they're not racist.

Rick Perry's the only one fit to lead this nation and restore order to our free market economy.

Sounds like Obama and his campaign all over again.

No, he doesn't. If you actually had thought about it, this is not the conclusion you would have reached.

I don't think this is any more true than when people use it to explain Obama's election. Cain has ideas and values that speak to a good portion of the Republican party and he communicates them well. I personally think those ideas and values are stupid, but that's just what I believe. However I don't think many are triangulating some "We gotta nominate a black guy too!" strategy.

I don't believe we live in a color-blind world but I don't think it is or was that big a factor in either of those situations.

Yeah, because being in second place down three percent doesn't mean you have a decent chance. You're a dumbass, you probably thought the same of Obama's chances against Hilary.

"Think about it this way, Romney has, what, a solid 25% of the GOP base? Now, think of that other 75%....they support Cain, Perry, Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, Paul . . ."

I thought about this too: Here's the latest CBS/NYT Poll:

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-20125251/cbs-news-nyt-polls-10-25-11/?tag=contentMain;contentBody

Herman Cain 25%
Mitt Romney 21
Newt Gingrich 10
Ron Paul 8
Rick Perry 6
Michele Bachmann 2
Rick Santorum 1
Jon Huntsman 1
Undecided/Don’t know 14

Clearly, if the other candidate voter percentages are split evenly, Cain would still be ahead . . .

Therefore, Romney will have to out-perform Cain in recruiting the undecided and fringe-support voters.

I think endorsements will seal the deal for Romney . . . Despite Cain's vibrancy he isn't and will never be considered a party insider. Perry, Gingrich, etc. will all support Romney, a more established GOP representative, over Cain, whose strange quips and comments could easily ruin the Republican brand and the 2012 election.

Though I joke about this:

http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/40/658741/658741.html#msg-658741

I actually do think The Imploding Party's smoke-filled-room guys have a Dark Horse candidate planned. Louisiana? Virginia?

Because, of course, the current candidates are way beyond horrible. Way beyond.

For months I've said The Imploding Party (*) HAS to get back to center - at least TOWARD center; I think those backroom guys think so, too.

=========

(*) And, in fact, I've called it The Imploding Party because that's what's happening to the Republican Party - it's falling into itself shrinking their base to...well...slmost nothing.

We all know the GOP candidates running against Obama are the bottom of the barrel. The bottom of the shit can barrel.

No good candidate is going to run against an incumbent President like Obama. If they lose then they're fucked for the end of his 2nd term where a republican candidate will be elected.

Here's my take:

Perry is a moron who makes Bush look smart
Cain is not much smarter
Santorum appears to be a dick
Paul is too honest, probably too old
Gingrich comes off well, but he's got that weird jewelry thing going on
Bachmann is a religous nut
Huntsman is too stiff
Romney is plastic
Gary Johnson seems awesome but doen't have a snowball's chance

In short, I think the republicans are f*cked.

Bachmann has been told by a Tea Party to quit the race.

Did i hear right that Cain was a computer scientist and mathematician by training?

By the time he left Godfather's it was in decline?


Worked as lobbyist in Washington,D.C. for a national restaurant association so not really an outsider to the ways of the evil empire?

okay. Now seriously. Are............you Republicans doing this on purpose now? Are the Republicans trolling America? This has gone past the point of late-night talk show monologue joke funny......it's like they're doing it on purpose now. Newt, Bachman sucking a corndog like a dick, her fag shit-dick husband, Santorum, that Perry guy.....the black pizza guy quotes a line from The Pokemon Movie.......we're not being serious anymore are we? You're just doing this to do it now, aren't you?


no, I'm serious now. This is beyond...the regular silly things that happen, like Howard Dean losing his mind that time....this is a work. This is not a shoot. The Republicans are pulling a work on us.

it's a work.

admit it. This is a total work.


where's Vince McMahon?

Not like I told Cain to wave his dick at every chick who walked by. The real fail is Cain.

HE would have failed with or without the sexual harrassment charges. He had his short time in the limelight and that was it. Cain never had a chance.
