Frank Luntz was just flabbergasted by his own findings. He said he has never seen such a strong response to any debate or speech that he has focus grouped.
He has never seen anywhere near the actual changing of the minds that he saw last night. Hannity kept trying to cover for his buddy Newt and Huck and others who did not show up, but the focus groups were having none of it. If you didn’t show, you lost, and among those who did show up, Cain routed them.
And actually, the comments showed much more intelligence than the normal Luntz focus groups.
Interesting that Cain won folks over, but that whole debate was a farce and not worth watching.
No serious candidates were there and it was way premature to hold this debate.
Cain was impressive but I also consider the heavy hitters were not represented at this debate. He has a tough haul in that respect...time will tell.
But it’s very early still and others have not claimed running or not...and I question why this debate happened in the first place.
