Cain surges despite scandal (Cain 32% Romney 15%)
Poll Position ^ | 11/2/11 | Eason Jordan

Posted on 11/02/2011 6:25:27 AM PDT by TexasFreeper2009

Our new national poll finds Herman Cain is the breakaway frontrunner for the 2012 Republican nomination despite the fresh disclosure that he faced sexual harassment in the 1990s.

More Republicans and independents than ever say they want Herman Cain to win the Republican nomination.

Our national scientific poll was conducted last night, two days after the Cain controversy erupted and one day after Cain emphatically denied ever committing sexual harassment.

Among Republicans, Cain tops his next closest challenger, Mitt Romney, 33%-18%. They were followed by Newt Gingrich at 17% and Rick Perry at 12%.

Independents favored Cain over Romney 30%-11%, with Ginrich at 9% and Perry at 6%.

Among Republicans and independents combined, Cain garnered 32%, Romney 15%, Gingrich 13%, and Rick Perry 9%.

The poll question: “Who do you want to win the 2012 Republican presidential nomination – Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, or someone else?”

Our national scientific telephone survey was conducted November 1, 2011. We interviewed 1,032 registered voters – 417 Republicans (margin of error +/- 5%) and 343 independents (margin of error +/- 5%). The combined tally of 760 Republicans and independents has a margin of error of +/- 4%.

What is you insinuation with the last part of the post? that Cain has been unfaithful...and if so, how do you know this? That Perry hasn’t...again, how do you know this? Or, rather, than you are the penultimate perrywinkle?

Admittedly, alcohol may have been fueling his bravado,...

I don't drink that much any more. And I wasn't drinking before, during or even after last night's post I made.

Furthermore, I speak for me and me only. I don't know anyone in the Perry campaign or in any of the 527s. I write for myself only, and Rick Perry Report is my own project that I created on my own time, using my God-given talents.

You are like the busy body in the room no one wants to be around. Last night you continuously attributed feelings, motives and emotions to me when you really have no clue.

There is no conspiracy, and who I am is well known on here. I don't hide behind a username. Sometimes, I wish I could though (-;

Since I have been called out for being a drunk poster, you may view more "alleged alcohol fueled bravado" at....

I was just pulling your chain because I knew you were an Airforce veteran. Believe it or not I know a lot about life in the Airforce. I figured you could take it.

I thought Gov. Perry did a great job on Hannity tonight. I will be happy to support him if he becomes the Republican candidate. I also think you have done a great job on the Rick Perry Report. You should be very proud of your efforts.

I will read over my posts from last night to see if I was trying to attribute “feelings, motives and emotions” to you. I am certainly not sensitive enough to understand what makes you tick. You sound like a gung-ho guy who gets things done. Despite being well armed, I would not want to face you in a dark alley. You wouldn't have a chance against against my wife however, she acts without hesitation and is definitely a shoot first and ask questions later kind of woman. LOL

I went to your site, but I am not sure what you mean by “Check 6”.

Check Six Defined

(Opens in a new Window)

"Check Six" is something the Cain campaign failed to do when, upon learning about the sex scandal on Oct 20, did nothing until they were shot out of the sky 10 days hence.

My wife is a skinny little waif, so in a fist fight maybe... but in a fight to the death with knives, handguns, shotguns or her favorite 30 carbine my wife is a pretty damned scary. I always make up with her before going to bed.

I don’t want to be stuck with Romney. Cain is a true conservative and seeing the media go bonkers just keeps confirming it.

This week could be a defining week for Cain - he had his biggest fundraising day ever, and his poll numbers are looking good. The media can't drag a Conservative candidate down no matter how hard they try and it's going to make them go crazy with confusion.

The Romney freaks have got to be incredibly depressed about this.
