He can't, at least not yet; Cain's risen too far and been in the spotlight too much for Romney not to treat him as a fellow candidate. If he tries to act like the only real contender, it would probably come off as arrogant rather than presidential. Or maybe I'm just projecting.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-80772532521377212102011-10-11T18:20:28.180-04:002011-10-11T18:20:28.180-04:00T-Rav, I think that's actually Cain's best...T-Rav, I think that's actually Cain's best strategy.

Not a subtle put-down or anything. I wonder how this will go.<br /><br />Also, Katrina Trinko at NR has a pretty good article on the past history between the two. Although it might seem they really like each other, that isn't necessarily so; Cain has been rather critical of him during his tenure as a radio host.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-26453379947842051582011-10-11T18:13:27.945-04:002011-10-11T18:13:27.945-04:00T-Rav, I couldn't help but overhear your comme...T-Rav, I couldn't help but overhear your comment and I think you're right. I think Perry needs to really shine or he's finished. But even more, I think he needs help. I think he needs Cain to crash so that the search for an "anybody but Romney" candidate starts over. That's the only way I see him getting a second chance.<br /><br />I think Cain has a lot to lose too because he could sink his own candidacy if he falls on his face tonight. I doubt that will happen, but that's the risk of being the "rising star".<br /><br />I think the guy with the least to lose is Romney. He seems guaranteed to make it to the end of this race in either the number 1 or number 2 spot. Tonight probably can't hurt him. If I were advising him, I'd actually advise him to start acting like the nominee and go after Obama all night and all but ignore the others on stage.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-76268109521120419742011-10-11T18:07:51.383-04:002011-10-11T18:07:51.383-04:00Dear Missourians, you might want to rethink that a...Dear Missourians, you might want to rethink that as it seems to be advocating the freedom to molest sheep?!

On the one hand, as Jed says, the media will downplay this until the cows come home. So the only people who will hear about it will be conservatives who listen to talk radio or read blogs -- and they already oppose Obama.<br /><br />On the other hand, I honestly think the public has a hard time caring about scandals that seem (1) complicated and (2) distant from the White House. If they can show that Obama ordered this, then yes, it would be huge. But as it is, it sounds like something done at a low level which multiple higher level people approved but weren't directly involved in. I know that's now how these things actually work, but that's how they appear to the public. And from what I've seen in Washington, scandals like that are petty minor and end up being eclipsed by economic issues and how the candidates look in the debates.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-10844191815311177052011-10-11T18:03:39.056-04:002011-10-11T18:03:39.056-04:00You may make fun of our love lives, but you will n...You may make fun of our love lives, but you will never take OUR FREEDOM!!!!Missouriansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-76274071212441919002011-10-11T18:02:33.670-04:002011-10-11T18:02:33.670-04:00Lawhawk, My guess is that Cain and Romney will be ...Lawhawk, My guess is that Cain and Romney will be the big target tonight, but we'll see.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-45996363943679822952011-10-11T18:01:47.598-04:002011-10-11T18:01:47.598-04:00Jed, If James Bond knew...

Cain might have just as much to lose if he does badly, but I don't see that happening. What the TX governor absolutely has to do is give a great debate performance, emphasize his job creation, and avoid any controversial off-message stuff. Unfortunately, the latter may not be possible, in light of the "Mormonism is a cult" remarks made by that pastor over the weekend. Expect that to come up at least once tonight, because if you think Bloomberg is really going to stick to strictly economic stuff, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-52898345927952812011-10-11T18:00:25.957-04:002011-10-11T18:00:25.957-04:00Ed - I don't think it will because unlike a Re...Ed - I don't think it will because unlike a Republican, every reporter in the free world won't be moving heaven and earth to find out the truth.Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604275115906776992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-35682896213496948222011-10-11T17:58:41.927-04:002011-10-11T17:58:41.927-04:00The debate should be interesting.

I think the MSM has always favored liberal Republicans because they think that they are less likely to win and they figure that even if they do win, they can still steamroll them and get things like OSHA turned into law. In many ways, liberal Republicans (like Nixon) and Bush Sr. have done the left's dirty deeds.<br /><br />It wouldn't surprise me if Obama thought he could beat Romney, but I think he's wrong if he thinks so. They will be surprised how strong Romney turns out to be as a challenger. This election will be a referendum on Obama unless the Republican challenger has a strong enough personality to make it about themselves. Romney doesn't. So the election will turn on Obama's record, not Romney's record. In that kind of election, Obama is doomed.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-55538618444712403132011-10-11T17:43:01.219-04:002011-10-11T17:43:01.219-04:00no hagis for you, Andrew!!no hagis for you, Andrew!!Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604275115906776992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-33284821477380264962011-10-11T17:42:16.774-04:002011-10-11T17:42:16.774-04:00caught a little of the first hour of Rush today.

Maybe, maybe not, but he expects the media prefers a "moderate" to run against since they depress the conservative base.
