Commentary:
After Wallace explained the Palestinian demand to return to the homes they were “thrown out of” [sic!] in 1948, Cain said that would be negotiated between the Israelis and Palestinians. “I don’t think Israel has any problem with Palestinians’ returning,” he said.
Even though Cain had told Wallace just a few moments before that he would offer the Palestinians “nothing,” because he is not convinced they are committed to peace and democracy, his cluelessness on the right of return suggests that Cain is more blowhard than gadfly.
So, yeah, the elites of the right aren't impressed. Well, I'm not impressed with Romney or Pawlenty. Sue me.
But, as I said, it's
early. Very early. No primaries to be won or lost until early next year. So, to me, this is no big deal. It's like a baseball team not doing particularly well in spring training games. Nothing matters until the season begins in earnest. This is the time to have minor gaffes. This is the time to work out the kinks in your media presentation. This is the time to swing and miss. If Cain (or anyone else) takes advantage of these early weeks and months properly we will end up with someone who is ready to stand up to Toonces, to stand up to the hostile media and present a confident face to the voter.
And at this point the voter is looking for
any credible alternative to the boob in the White House.
So it's all good.
