Perry Lags, Cain Rises in New Hampshire Polls
Washington Wire/WSJ ^ | 10/10/11 | Patrick O'Connor

Mitt Romney remains the unquestioned frontrunner in New Hampshire, according to a pair of recent polls, but Atlanta businessman Herman Cain appears to be gaining ground as his top challenger.

Mr. Romney, a part-time New Hampshire resident and the former governor of neighboring Massachusetts, retains a commanding perch as the favorite candidate of many Granite State Republicans, with support from 38% of likely primary voters, according to a poll conducted earlier this month by Harvard University and St. Anselm College.

Mr. Cain finished second, with 20%, a finding in line with national polls that show his candidacy gaining steam.

A survey done by WMUR and the University of New Hampshire also put Mr. Cain in second place, with 12%, behind Mr. Romney’s 37%.

Nope, It will be Cain/Conservative 2012 instead of Romney-Perry 2012.

Only reason Perry is in the race is to split the Tea Party vote and hand the nod to Romney.

I'm serious that a vote for Cain virtually seals the nomination for Romney. And Cain wants to be his VP.

Yes I'm dead serious about that. People need to wake up.

I don't dislike Cain. I like him. But we're about to witness a back door operation where he rides the coattails of Mitt Romney into the White House with your vote and others here like MNJohnny. Among many others. You folks can drop the hammer on me and that's fine. Just watch it happen as I portray it. No 2 ways about it.

Its getting critical and I hope people utilize some logic and skill with their vote.

“Why are you running for president? To be president!” Mr. Cain thundered in his booming baritone, which was playfully sarcastic at times.

“What did I miss? I’m not running to go to Disneyland. America has problems. I’m a problem solver. That’s why I’m running.”

Yes I'm dead

I'm not sure you're totally dead, but you sure are brain dead.

You are still typing, so there are some motor skills remaining, but rational thought has long since passed.

You've got large brass ones telling anyone to "wake up", when you are one breath away from being comatose.

Primaries are the time to vote for the candidate of your choice. My choice is Cain. I will vote for the eventual nominee. Even if that nominee is the odious, insulting Mitt Perry.

I do need to correct myself on one point (from above.)

I meant to say "to the republican nomination" and not "White House."

Nice strike! lol

Yes the Perry supporters are serious, but wait until the Paul supporters show up they put even out do the Perry people. Though it’s getting a lot closer than it use to be.

‘Its gonna be hugh’


When it gets series, I’m going to check out the Third Avenue folks. Gotta see who runs on the Constitution Party, might even be Palin.

Seven Principles of the Constitution Party are:

Life: For all human beings, from conception to natural death;
Liberty: Freedom of conscience and actions for the self-governed individual;
Family: One husband and one wife with their children as divinely instituted;
Property: Each individual’s right to own and steward personal property without government burden;
Constitution: and Bill of Rights interpreted according to the actual intent of the Founding Fathers;
States’ Rights: Everything not specifically delegated by the Constitution to the federal government, nor prohibited by the Constitution to the states, is reserved to the states or to the people;
American Sovereignty: American government committed to the protection of the borders, trade, and common defense of Americans, and not entangled in foreign alliances.

That’s not bad. Second in New Hampshire.

Still not the frontrunner though. Keep it up Herman!

If Perry botches, bumbles and stumbles through the next debate, will you admit he is not a contender?
