Success attracts money. Cain will have no problem raising money. He WILL have to make good organizational choices, but that should be the easiest thing a former CEO has to do.

[murron]

And I suppose this was taken after the debate last week in which he was attacked more than he had been before by the other candidates?

[murron]

Ted Baxter will have to find another reason to put Cain down and elevate Romney.

[SamAdams76]

Don’t get me wrong, Cain needs to keep his refreshing candor, just don’t want him to screw the pooch with an ill-thought out comment. Watched his entire interview yesterday on MTP and it was awesome. If he handles himself like that going forward, he’ll be just fine.

[Cheerio]

w Cain 43 Obama 41 And after the wise experienced grandfather takes the arrogant little socialist behind the woodshed in a debate? Cain 55 Obama 35?

Oh don't be so quick to assume. Zero has a huge base of MARXIST supporters and it is not the depth of their skin color that upsets these people, it is the COLOR of their POLITICS. One is solid RED and the other RED WHITE AND BLUE. Putting up a conservative against the Won is like flashing a cross before a vampire to the looney left that put this a$$hat in power in the first place. The wackos on the left still form his solid base - the people that have left him are the "fence sitters". Personally I don't understand that as divided as our country has been since the 1960s, how anyone sits on the fence. These must be the same people that cannot decide what to eat when wandering through a cafeteria line in front of me.

FOX News Poll: McCain Leads Obama 45% to 42%

Thanks for reminding me about the MTP interview! I meant to watch that, yesterday. I heard that he handed Gregory his @ss! LOL! I’m going to watch it, now. ;-)

If Cain can do this to Bill Clinton, then imagine the circles Cain would run around obama.

[Steve Van Doorn]

remember the last debate with McCain when obama had that ear piece with most likely someone telling him what to say?

Sounds like a joke but he had an ear piece.

[CSI007]

“So?

mcain lead obama too!

FOX News Poll: McCain Leads Obama 45% to 42%”

Things are a bit different now are they not? I believe that all hell had not broken loose on the economy front when that poll was taken. At this point in time, the proverbial shoe is on the other foot now.

Granted, I take little stock in republican X vs. Obama with over a year to go before the general election.

[Cheerio]

So? mcain lead obama too!

Agreed. McLame had opened a lead over the Won before Zero had Soros make $500 BILLION in money market funds disappear in one hour. The rest of course is history. McLame called off his campaign to return to the District of Corruption and Zero told DC to call him when they needed a Senate vote on bailing out the financial sector.

[Signalman]

Cain is striking a chord with the people. He’s one of the few, if not the only, candidate who comes across as a straight shooter, no B.S. guy.

[Kartographer]

I know Herman Cain. Herman Cain is a friend of mine and John McCain is NO HERMAN CAIN!

[NavyCanDo]

Time to donate to his campaign folks, if you haven’t already. Perry has a big bankroll, and Romney has the RNC political machine behind him.

[GlockThe Vote]

I’m glad Cain is rising.

Cain vs UnAble!

[NavyCanDo]

NICE TRY. But if you are going to compare polls with 2008 you better at least select the same pollster, Rasmussen in this case.

Rasmussen Oct 17th 2008

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama attracting 50% of the vote while John McCain earns 46%. These reflect a MvVain Slow comeback from an eight point disadvantage 22 days ago.

[LRoggy]

A most important nugget buried in the story on this poll:

“Cain attracts only 72% of the Republican vote, while the president earns 82% support from voters in his party. However, Cain leads by 19 among those not affiliated with either major party.”

If Cain only pulls 72% of the Republicans AND IS STILL AHEAD then his true lead is a heck of a lot bigger than 43-41!!

[justice14]

That is kind of misleading b/c Obama is the only one running from his party. Cain has a bunch of people running against him right now.

[NFHale]

“...YES WE CAIN!...”

Now wouldn’t THAT bumper sticker just drive the Ozombies nuts???

Especially with O’s symbol with a slash through it...

[seekthetruth]

Wondering who did those polls?

Reason I ask is in my contact with many, Herman Cain ahead of the pack here in Florida with Perry second. Now the next Presidential forum/debate here will be on Nov. 6th at the Florida Tea Party Convention Nov.4-6 in Daytona Beach.
