In a new CBS News Poll, 61 percent of Republican primary voters say the sexual harassment accusations against Cain won't make any difference in their vote, but 30 percent say the charges make them less likely to back him, and that rises to 38 percent among women. Cain has lost support among women since last month - from 28 percent in October to 15 percent now. He has lost ground with conservatives and Tea Party supporters as well.
But the race could still change; seven in 10 Republican primary voters say it is still too early to say for sure which candidate they will support.
Cain supporters can claim "Oh, CBS!" all they want, but this is indicative of a problem. Just because we don't LIKE that these stories are having an impact doesn't give us an excuse to pretend they don't.
Gingrich, Cain and Perry are going to split the conservative vote.
Romney will be our nominee. Obama will probably beat him.
Ugh.
THis is also an off-topic comment. The thread is about Cain’s position on Gun Control. If you let the Cain folks take you into off-topic discussions, you just give credence to their thread hijacking.
The best way to stop people from filibustering discussion of their candidates is to simply IGNORE their off-topic charges, and explain why. Make them go do their own threads. Don’t let them make every thread into an attack thread against your candidate.
There's plenty of room for Gingrich AND Cain on the ticket.
