Notice how Cain’s the media’s new boy. After this last debate Perry pretty much shut his own case, as for the 3rd (or 4th?) time he couldn’t sound like he had a clue what he’s talking about, let alone sound “presidential”. Bachmann of course fizzled out almost as quickly as she became “top tier” after the Iowa straw poll. Remember in the two debates prior to the one yesterday, Huntsman got considerably more time (even more than Paul)…it was clear the media was hoping he would catch on. It’s not like he’s done anything to hurt himself, but he’s just not appealing to people the way they’d like him to.
So when Cain won the Florida straw poll (which may be the most meaningless poll to win), the media jumped at the opportunity to have a new guy to talk about. He’ll fizzle too. This is looking so good.
