Herman will win, even with his crazy 999 scheme.
The Rethugs love the guy who can vouch for their not being racist, and who agrees that poor people and the unemployed only have themselves to blame.

1. Let's say he does win...
...what's the odds of his plan ever getting through Congress?

2. Herman must have signed the TPARTY NATION pledge of allegiance!
In order for him to get this far, he must have signed the pledge of allegiance to the TPARTY NATION and assured his cooperation with the MURDOGS, KOCHROACHES AND THE WALL STREET HUSTLERS.

3. Not very likely...
Cain is colorful and popular with the masses, but I haven't seen any signs of fundraising or organizational strength. Remember how Ron Paul burned out in 2008 when came time for people to actually vote?

4. Someone said the 999 scheme is "9 toppings, $9, after 9pm only."

18. Unfortunately, the small print:
-Circus Peanuts
-Peeps
-Grade "H" meat
-Beggin' Strips (It's Baconnnnn!)
-Chia
-I can't believe it's not butter
-100% recycled paper products
-Special guest appearance by Carrottop
-Anchovies

No substitutions.

5. Win what? If he wins the Republican nomination, he
will lose to Obama in the general election.

I will repeat what we should be focusing upon is the make-up of House and Senate.

We need to win back the House, and get the Senate up to 60+ Dems in 2012.

THAT is the real issue.

17. The nomination.
I agree that we need to push for huge gains in Congress.

7. they're ok with him saying that about poor people
but him saying that about the unemployed will hurt him, since a lot of republicans are unemployed.

And Romney seems to be flip-flopping on the protests. I think at the debate he will position himself as a populist, laughable as that sounds.

11. Not a chance Herb wins anything.
He has NO organization, NO money, and spends most of the time in the states he visits peddling his silly book to stupid people at book-signing events.

12. Not being racist?
Cain is Islamophobic to the point that he probably won't go to New Orleans because it's called the "Crescent City" and has a neighborhood named Algiers. :eyes:

16. I'm not saying it's true, just that Herman lets themselves
pat themselves on the back for approving of a black guy -- who agrees with them that other black guys are lazy good-for-nothings.
