Romney is the choice of the Republican establishment. They are backing him with millions in campaign funds. The Democrats would like Romney as the Republican candidate as well. Why? Because Romney is a big government Republican, no different than a big government Democrat. Also, the Democrats have built up a huge Black constituency by selling them the idea that Blacks benefit by staying on the Federal Plantation ... and that place upon the Plantation depends upon them voting for Democrats. Cain threatens that.
Both the Republican and Democrat establishments will try their best to destroy Cain. A good example of why would be Cain's promise to revamp our entire tax code. The facts are, a tremendous amount of lobbying groups, politicians and crony capitalists benefit greatly from the tax code as it stands. In fact, they lobby to not only keep it in place, but to also expand it. The tax code is 77,000 pages long, chock filled with loopholes to benefit special interests. Cain wants to eliminate all of that. Therefore, the attempt at another "High Tech Lynching."
