Name recognition is clearly not driving this poll. Cain is not well known. Christie is not well known. But they’re up there on the list.

I’m not sure this is a real poll. Have an awful lot of trouble matching these results with gallups, which have the 3 well known front runners (Palin, Gingrich, Romney) up top.

I’m not surprised by Cain’s debate bump, though.

Don’t let your emotions cloud your vote or your logical choices. You might wind up with another Obama.

Have you ever taken the time to listen to Cain? His surge in the polls, is a direct result of those who recently have.

My logical choice is a real conservative who can beat Obama.

Cain, a former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank who won't talk about key issues other than economics, and won't mention that the Fed caused our current problems, is the preferred choice of Republican insiders seeking to stop the Tea Party and Sarah Palin, by co-opting the brand with a fake "outsider".

If not Mitt - McCain err... Cain!

Cain’s fans don’t understand white guilt.

That’s to their credit - but they don’t get why he can’t win.

As the nominee for POTUS? Showered with Oreo cookies wherever he goes. As VPOTUS? “See how they make the brutha sit in the back of the bus? Drivin’ Miz Sarah?”

It can’t work.

LOL! Yeah, thanks. But seriously, Christies no conservative. He would NOT make a good president.

Cains Fed resume bullet will go over extremely well to elite Republicans. If I’m Cain, I’d start trying to win over the Romney / Gingrich / Pawlenty / Daniels people. “The Kansas City Fed thought me elite enough to be Chairman. That’s better than Harvard Law, and a Law Instructor at U Chicago. The Fed. Chairman.” Populist types, people who would rather have less rather than more of the Fed, Cain might have trouble with.

That's why I asked him about Post #106. I am almost positive I saw it on a pro-Paul posting.

I think you have the wrong definition of “Populist”.

Cain is right in line with small government Conservatives as well as large Corporate interests. Cain's term on the Fed., was not at all what you claim. He believes in a “Fair Tax”. Abolishing the IRS, and going with a national sales tax that everybody pays. Not just the middle 40%.

I agree! he article is clear to point out that Christie is not running, but they included him because he is still polling as a candidate. Cain will get most of the Christie supporters, since he is such a straight shooter and not political Kryptonite like the former retreads. (Palin included)

If name recognition was driving this poll, Palin would be first, Gingrich 2nd, Romney 3rd.

Recent successes, perhaps a bit of “flavor of the month”, seem to be driving that particular poll.

Cain is doing well despite being mostly unknown, high name recognition is not driving Cains high poll numbers, something else is.

Cain’s role with the Fed will play better with the Elites.
Don’t want to argue the word “Populist”. Elites vs those who are not elites?

It’s not like the first thing Cain is going to do is remind tea partiers that he was the Kansas City Fed Chairman. That’s not the audience for that piece of information. The elites, though, would appreciate the kind of vetting the Fed would likely do before picking their Chairman. Most elites don’t have much in the way of problems with the Fed, either.

There is no one U.S. Federal Reserve Bank. Herman was on the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, and that he was subsequently elected their chairman, anyone that reads his bio can learn it, but it’s not what you make it out to be.

The Federal Reserve Banks do not set monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Banks do provide financial services to depository institutions including banks, credit unions, and savings and loans, much like those that banks provide for their customers. These services include collecting checks, electronically transferring funds, and distributing and receiving cash and coin.

He was in the Navy too maybe we should blame Pearl Harbor on him.

That’s Palin’s biggest problem, It’s true she does have the absolute highest Name Recognition of over 95%, but her Negatives are vastly higher than all the other candidates combined.
