Last week everyone was praising Perry. How quick the polls can change the support of so many. I do agree however that Cain would be a much better choice than old crazy weird Perry.

Perry has been awful in the glare of the debate spotlight. He wasn't prepared for it; that's obvious. He has time to make a comeback. Can he? That's the question. He needs to expand his presence; maybe by agreeing to as many interviews as he can handle; on FOX News especially. FOX News because that's the station conservatives watch. He doesn't need to consider the left in this primary season.

Why that characterization? Remember "From little A.C.O.R.N.s Mighty Marxists Grow."

I think you are wrong. Neither Cain nor Perry is a Marxist. Just not capable of running this country.

RichieLion has a wonderful idea when he says Ricky Perry should do as many interviews as he possibly can and to do them on FOX. That is about as funny as it gets. Let a Tea Party Republican just do interviews on FOX! Let him do the interviews on all the networks and not just FOX. If they are just on FOX, it will show he is afraid of real questions from real news anchors. Of course, there is the good possibility that he will implode during real questions by real anchors like Sarah Palin did with Katie Couric. That one interview showed American voters what Palin lacked for credibility as a viable candidate. Same would happen with real questions for Ricky Perry.

Your post did give me my ROLF for the afternoon. Thanks.

I live in the real world and not the world of your liberal fantasies, so I'll explain it again. Rick Perry is running for the REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. Rick Perry needs to present himself in a good light to REPUBLICAN VOTERS at this time. If he wants to be seen by REPUBLICAN VOTERS he will go to the media that REPUBLICAN VOTERS trust and thus watch and listen to. That network is FOX NEWS. It's not CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS or PBS. It's really just that simple.

After, if he is successful and has the nomination, then he might have to succumb to being attacked, lied to and lied about and generally disrespected by one or more of those leftist media arms of the Democrat Party. But that's not the case at this point in time.

I like herman Cain and will vote for him in the primary. However, I worry about the fact that he's in remission from stage 4 colon cancer:

1) Does he wear an Ostemy pouch to collect waste? What are the implications of that? Is there an ever present danger of infection?

2) I think he has been in remission for about 5 years. That's great! However, I can't help but wonder if we are taking too big of a risk here, and a risk to him as well, with the stress of running for office and eventually holding office. Do we have any idea of what the risk is to him and to the country?

I just think he's too good to be true and something's going to happen to spoil it all. Are we rolling the dice with him? Is he rolling the dice with his health? What are his chances of remaining cancer free?

He said in the debate that it was a very fast spreading cancer. He's been free of it for a long time. A fast spreading one would probably have come back already if it were going to.

Beyond that, you never know with ANY candidate whether they're going to live or die in office. The whole thing is a crap shoot. Except that Herman Cain is the most refreshing, geniune, can-do, America-loving and solution-oriented candidate we've seen in a long, long time.

I intend to vote for Herman Cain. I live in Atlanta with land in Buttonwood. Herman had a conservative talk radio show here before he declared his candidacy for president. I find it exceedingly refreshing that he acts and sounds the same now as he did before he declared. He is consistently conservative and consistently genuine. These qualities form a good foundation for being deemed trustworthy.
