The HuffPo predicts that Obama will win based on two factors: 1. We tend to reelect sitting Presidents, and 2. Despite the economy being crap, he's basically a likable, photogenic guy. The article predicts that Romney will be his challenger, and that Romney doesn't excite anyone.

The obvious question arises, what if someone else becomes the GOP's candidate? I can't think that Perry could win: he's already chickened out of the remaining debates when he desperately needs them to practice. Even Obama's critics acknowledge his oratorical skills and Perry would crash and burn in debates with him. And Perry now can be called a prima donna who doesn't have the gut for the work of a campaign, and just does the easy parts.

Cain would be a much more interesting matchup. Cain does have guts and doesn't shirk from debates or speeches. He has the ability to fire up his base in a way that Romney or Perry can't.

DS,I like you and I generally respect your opinions.....but if you are thinking of this Cain candidacy as an actual,honest to goodness run you have slipped a gear.Cain is doing nothing more than selling books and raising his speaking fees,the man does jot even have an organization nor is he putting one together.....he is hoodwinking folks,plain and simple.

Im having trouble believing Cain is seriously running after his marlboro man ad.

I'm convinced he isn't...and it isn't just the whacky ad,he has no organization in place...in states he needs to be.What little organization he does have is ever changing as the political pros he hires find that he is not an honest t goodness candidate and they soon jump ship.Prior to events,as the stories go,he is sitting in is bus whle the actual candidates work the room and develop relationships with influential folks .
Cain can't be bothered to do so
