Herman Cain has surged into the lead in several national polls of GOP primary voters, but he remains in second place in most polls of early voting states.

Cain is ahead in Iowa, SC and Florida. The article starts out with a lie, no need to read any further.

A strong second in Iowa is fine, as weaker candidates drop out their support is more likely to go to Cain than Romney. I expect Romney to win in NH but Cain to win in SC. Changes in primaries in other states wanting to go first help Romney, thus the states RINO establishments are pushing to get it over before Cain can catch up. TEA party to the rescue!

All this ink spilled and not one mention of the early primary state where every Republican nomination has been decided in the last 50 years: Florida.

OTOH, I can give you a host of examples where candidates won in the over rated and over hyped attention whore states of New Hampshire and Iowa and went on to lose the nomination, sometimes even failing to finish second.

This poll from YESTERDAY shows some very different numbers than your article-

Herman Cain’s poll momentum is continuing for at least another week. PPP surveys conducted over the weekend in Ohio and Hawaii find him with a large lead in both states. That now makes 7 consecutive polls over the last 3 weeks- a national one and state polls in Ohio, Hawaii, Iowa, North Carolina, Nebraska, and West Virginia- that have found Cain leading the way.

In Ohio Cain’s at 34% to 19% for Mitt Romney, 14% for Newt Gingrich, 7% for Ron Paul, 6% for Michele Bachmann, 5% for Rick Perry, 1% each for Jon Huntsman and Rick Santorum, and 0% for Gary

In a poll taken on Oct. 9th, Cain got 24% of the black vote. And he’s still hardly known at all.
