    I think it will help him.

    But what if they are Asian?

    And am I the only one to think this hurts Democrats? Cain may be able to win the Republican nomination, but he can't win the Presidency.

    Obama would be better off facing Cain than Romney.

    "Ms. Bachmann, should people from wall street go to jail for what they did to the economy?"

    "No, you can trace all of this back to the federal government"

    BACHMANN, YOU ARE ARE PART OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

    Fascinating. I'd love to see Ron Paul's balanced budget proposal that eliminates deficit spending.

    I'd also like to know..... which war is Paul against that Obama isn't? Especially since we're withdrawing from Iraq.

    I know Paul's against Afghanistan, ( letters of marquee lol, as well as his statement that he would not have authorized the mission that took out Bin Laden), and he was against Libya. Yup, just the kind of guy I'd like to vote for.:rolleyes:

    Agreed 100%. Clearly Ron Paul is crazy.

    You need to stop believing Obama's evil lies. There will be thousands of personal left in Iraq. More troops are being sent into the region, not home. We are also now gearing up for war with Iran. You are a fool.

    ..............We already went over this. Many troops are going to Kuwait. Perhaps we leave some troops in Iraq, like Germany or Japan. Either way, we're not sending more troops in, and I'd love to hear this "war with Iran" thing. Should be entertaining.

    Really, that's one of the things I can't stand about you guys, and why I'm glad I left. I'm a moderate Republican. I don't think Democrats are evil. I think Tea Party people are crazy, but not evil. But you Paul people are convinced that everyone else is deluded, just like a freaking religious movement. I'll be happy when he loses and shuts up for good.

    The Cain saga is playing out as well for the Democrats as one can hope. The sexual harassment allegations are making a good portion Republicans (Rush Limbaugh in particular) circle the wagon around Cain, thus (among other things) increasing campaign donations to him. At the same time, I'll bet the general election voters don't view the allegations the same way-- i.e. the allegations would hurt Cain a lot more in a h2h vs. Obama than in the GOP primary.

    So, at the very least, we got Cain (who is pretty much unelectable in a general election) getting the fuel to fight on longer against Romney while making the GOP primary more tawdry and funny due to the scandal. Of course, if Obama is VERY lucky, the "circling the wagon" around Cain in response to the supposed "sexual lynch mob" might get Cain the nomination.

    It's enough of a mess to give a re-justification to Christie, even this late. They are looking so hard for a groundswell: Palin, Bachman, Perry, Cain. (It would be sad to be a hamloaf with glasses right now) And really Christie is their only prayer at a hope at a shot.

    Cain could be throwin' Ol Brer Rabbit in da Briar Patch.
    Zippity-do-dah!

    (we should be more afraid of the uncertainty than the fools)

    I don't see war with Iran, but I do see us trying to stop Israel and Iran from blowing the region up and destroying the Arab Spring with an all out war.

    Guess no one wants to discuss Perry's performance this evening.
