I know somebody who knows somebody |

who is high up and has never been wrong, and they say the Repub ticket will be Paul/Cain or Cain/Paul. Perry is his own quicksand, and Romney is "a guy nobody would want to throw back a beer or take a road trip with, or listen to bloviate for four years." Cain & Paul, on the other hand, "are real beer and roadtrip material." In addition, "nobody has a single expectation" of either Cain or Paul, a "pair of authentic goofballs," so it's "a double Hail Mary for the Repubs a la McCain with Sarah." The straw votes for Cain and Paul are "a set-up, preparing Repub voters and the country" for "the rowdiest ticket since Barnum & Bailey."

1. Huh. Well, that is one wild-assed ticket, if true! |

I'm going to bookmark your thread, just so I'll remember this prediction...

4. If nothing else, it would be entertaining |
|
And the nuts they would draw would make all those freaks from the McCain-Palin rally videos look sane

3. That would only be true if the GOP were giving this contest the complete wave-off. |
|
I think your high up pal is going to enjoy the new experience of being wrong this time.

5. I think that Ron Paul will be a candidate whether |
|
or not he is nominated by the Republicans. He has some hardcore supporters on the left and the right and could get enough votes to swing the election. I think he could get as many or more votes than Perot did. If there was ever a time when a third-party candidate could get 30 percent of the vote, this is the year. Dissatisfaction with the two party system has never been higher.

8. I'm not so sure about Paul ... |
|
but I think Cain will definitely be the VP choice. I'm hoping Perry will be in the top spot. He will be the easiest to beat next November.

24. There's no way in hell Cain will be on ANY Rethug ticket. His skin is the wrong color. |
|
They've been foaming at the mouth ever since that AA Obama has been sitting in the WH. Do you think they hate him just because he calls himself a Democrat? NO, NO, NO. They hate him because he's African American. Cain will never be on their ticket.

27. Source says average Repub voters are frightened & confused |
|
to the point that they can be led to support Cain, thinking it will be temporary, a protest support, until it is too late and they are waking up in the booth having to choose between Cain and Obama. This is all confirmed by internal deep-techno-psych polling.

29. Odds improve on Cain/Paul over Paul/Cain after NH debate. |
|
The two pals have a rousing moment over Greenspan (Cain for, Paul against) but no major obstacle appears in the New Hampshire debate to their ticket, which grows in attractiveness for millions. Cain hammers home 9-9-9, Paul takes it easy & lets Cain shine as leading anti-Romney option. Tide of support for the once-unlikely duo continues to rise, say private sources.

I thought Cain might be Romney's running mate.....another Palin like pick. Now I think it's Romney/Christie and Obama's gotta hope the Religious nuts prove their bigotry by staying home over a Mormon.

It would almost be as good as Palin/Bachmann. The batshit insane ticket!
But no way in hell are the backroom wall street 1% going to let a Cain/Paul ticket get on the ballot!
Thats an easy win for the Prez, no doubt!
