Cage Match Round 3: Michelle Bachman vs. Herman Cain

{EAV_BLOG_VER:71a66d9ec44006bf}Last week saw Newt Gingrich get soundly trounced by Rick Perry. The blood is still flowing with news of his campaign finance operatives bailing.
To make things a little easier I've decided not to do cage matches between announced and unannounced candidates anymore. So...what that means is that unless Rick Perry enters the race sometime this summer he will not be paired against another candidate in the later rounds. Which means that round 2 may be a wash...which is just as well given that only 6 people voted. Lets see if we can get more people excited with two Tea flavored candidates.
This week the match is between the Tea Party darling Michelle Bachmann and the Southern Firebrand Herman Cain. Let's get strait to the ticket.

In the blue corner standing a solid 6' 2" and weighing in with a couple dozen extra toppings of Tea Party vigor the first legitimate African-American Republican candidate and the man who's strength of passion is only second to the strength of his voice the Godfather of Tea-Parties everywhere...Herman the Huri-Cain.

Ding ding...Bachmann opens up with a strong New Hampshire performance and a quick jump in the polls. Cain counters with strong business cred and a powerful rhetoric. Bachmann shrugs it all off with a quick jab of political experience.  Cain takes it in stride by singing the National Anthem with a Tea Party fan.

Both of these candidates could go all the way.

Entering the ring strong Cain goes for the win with a huge hook counting on a 0% corporate tax rate. Bachmann strikes back with big fundraising numbers. Cain looks dazed after that exchange.

The last round here starts with Michele touting her position on abortion. Cain comes back with equally strong Christian support. Both candidates reach for the "historical" card and trip over each other trying to berate the media. They both manage to get up....ding-ding.

Alright so there isn't much here...but maybe you have something to add. Drop some comments on me and then  hit up the poll on the right.
