I’ve got the slogan now!
“Cain Ain’t Able.”
Are you connected with the campaign?
And you are not allowed to insult other posters (calling them trolls, for example) in this forum. So don’t do it again.
Nope.
So you’re actually that excited that your candidate was mentioned a couple of times in this thread?
Fighting ignorance everyday!
Who will become the Republican nominee for President in 2012?
I would say it will be either Mitt Romney (if he runs) or Tim Pawlenty (if the former doesn’t run).
Probably Romney, though I predict one of the flamethrowers (Gingrich, Palin, Bachmann or the like) will win the Iowa Caucus and cause some early excitement. We’ve seen similar phenomena with red meat candidates like Pat Buchanan or Pat Roberston doing well in Iowa or New Hampshire with appeals to the most hardcore of the conservative base, but the party always corrects itself and ends up with some safe default. There are so many dipshits this time around - more than usual, that it will be hard for any one of them to coalesce the teabaggers, and once the Primaries get to Super Tuesday, the Party will correct like it always does and Romney will be a fait accompli Pawlenty has a shot at the VP spot, but, he will be hampered by the fact that he’s boring and can’t deliver his own state. He’s definitely mean enough, though, even though he tries to work a “nice guy” persona. Don’t be fooled. Pawlenty is driven completely by soulless ambition and has neither principle nor conscience. He can play a bomb thrower if need be.
If Romney’s able to convincingly ratchet up the crazy and appeal to the birthers and Tea Party, he could be the nominee. I don’t think Pawlenty has a shot no matter what he does, unless he’s simply the last man standing.
At this point, I think it’ll be someone no one’s thinking about right now.
Romney has been preping to run since 2006. He’s about as likely to run in 2012 as Obama is.
But I think he’ll loose to Pawlenty. The GOP hatred of the ACA is too strong to let Romney get nominated after passing Romneycare in Massachusetts.
Also, we already have this same basic thread going already. here
Ah, that guy who AbloyProtec is shilling for sounds like a winner:
AbloyProtec’s candidate: Many American Muslims ‘Not Dedicated’ To U.S., Constitution
Sounds like OttoDaFe was wrong–only knuckle-dragging fundamentalists are likely to vote for him.
In other words, they must pass a religious test?
I wonder who Cain will pick for his VP. For balance I would suggest he take someone who people outside of his immediate family have heard of.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess “not a muslim”.
Maybe that’s what AblyProtec is angling for.
More Cain talk? I love it!
But really, discussing VP choices at this point is kind of far fetched considering most, including Cain, are only at exploratory stages. It seems as if Newt has been courting Rubio as of late, however - that’d be an interesting ticket.
Did Herman Cain help Glenn Beck rape and murder a young girl in 1990?
Tell that to the Chicago Cubs!
Seriously, though, being a persecuted underdog can be a successful strategy. Some people love scrappy losers; Hollywood has sure made enough movies about them. She could run a dozen campaigns over the rest of her life, lose them all, and maintain her image as someone worth listening to.
Allowing the man who almost single-handedly ruined Florida’s economy to ruin the nation’s? Doubtful. Rubio is way too shallow to handle a national campaign right now.
With Gingrich expected to announce candidacy in May and Rubio publicly stating he has no intentions to run, I think it’s safe to deduce a VP spot for Rubio on such a ticket given current circumstances.
Personal attack?
Fighting ignorance everyday, huh?
