Herman Cain’s scrappy campaign for the GOP presidential nomination is making an impression. From Public Policy Polling of North Carolina:
Mitt Romney has the lead in PPP’s first Iowa poll since Mike Huckabee and Donald Trump exited the race, but with six different candidates polling in double digits it’s clear this thing is wide open.
Romney polls at 21%. Sarah Palin and Herman Cain are tied for second at 15%. Newt Gingrich is 4th with 12%, Michele Bachmann 5th with 11%, Tim Pawlenty 6th with 10%, Ron Paul 7th with 8%, and Jon Huntsman 8th with 0% (only one respondent to the poll picked him.) 8% said they supported someone else or were undecided.
Cain and Palin have been the biggest beneficiaries in Iowa of Huckabee and Trump’s decisions not to run. Cain is at 15% now despite not even having been included on our last poll. Palin’s gained 7 points in the six weeks since our last poll compared to 5 point gains for Romney, Pawlenty, and Bachmann, a 3 point gain for Gingrich, and a 2 point bump for Paul.
LOL. She's against ethanol and this is the idiot PPL poll.
Also, Sarah Palin is not a candidate, remember? She has not campaigned in Iowa. I think the others have!
Not a doc, but my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer, and beyond that, lived a great quality life for another 3 years. I’m sure he’s receiving regular checks for any return, and if it was found, they’d zap it quick.
If he’s healthy otherwise, he’s probably ok to ride out at least one term, if not two if he won.
I’m an RN and I can’t tell you how many old folks I see with colon ca in their past. Lots of folks survive it now very well.
Under our scenario... how come it couldn’t be:
Palin/Cain 2012-2020
Cain Bachmann 2020-2028
etc.
?
Isn’t unusual for the vice president under a successful administration to step up and become the next party nominee... especially if that VP has really demonstrated leadership.
The point is - we MUST have a candidate who knows what it means to pay taxes, make a payroll/run a business/and actually have to EARN a paycheck. So many of the establishment on both sides of the isle have done none (or practically none) of the above. Is it any wonder the government is so far out of touch with real, working, taxpaying Americans?
So you are a fan of Krauthammer, you believe the PPP poll, man your posts are certainly entertaining.
What is even more unbelievable is that you do not realize that PPP is trying to tell you how to think! Perhaps you need to see who is behind PPP. I mean we all know that NBC/WSJ NYTIMES/CBS/ABC/CNN etc etc are all in the tankl for dems as far as polling goes, but at least most Conservatives know that, but PPP is a arm also of the DNC
