"Herman Cain is a flash-in-the-pan, Sean! He's the flavor of the week! All analyses point to a commanding win by Mitt Romney! Aaaaargh!"

6th. Ouch.
How in the world is Herman Cain getting the racist vote? /sarc
unlESS... Great Scott!!
Unfortunately, I couldn't attend but hopefully Cain has more events in IL because I got his petitions signed in record time! Even here in the hellhole known as Illinois, Cain is the man!!!
The problem is that the other candidates have not fully labelled Romney with the failed Romneycare.
Several of my former friends have openly laughed at me for my support of Cain. They cite Comney’s business experience and familiarity with running a large campaign and then they laugh some more. Then I tell them that there are loads of people like me who will work our fingers to the bone for Cain as volunteers but will not lift a finger for comney. Screw him, if God forbid, he does get the nod...many will walk. They get upset and think that we should behave just like we did in 2008. Good, let them vote for comney in the primary. I cannot change their minds. But they better get used to the fact that mine will not change either. I can live with several of the candidates as nominee and give them my full support. Comney is not one of them.
I wish Bachmann would pull out. Methinks 90% of her s7upport would go to Cain.
When Cain gets back live in the state closer to its primary time his poll numbers could go even higher. When Bachmann and Santorum eventually have to pull out later on most of those votes probably switches over to Cain as well.
Excellent predictor of the eventual outcome /s
Wow just how bad a campaigner must Santorum be?
And why did Perry crash so badly? His support of illegal alien amnesty. And what does Romney support? Same thing.
There’s a lot of people on both sides of the two-party system that want Romney to be the candidate. The RINO RNC promised it in payment for stepping aside for McLame 5 minutes into the 2008 primary. The MSM wants it because the DemonRats want it because it’s easy to pick apart his constant flip-flopping and lack of focus. Romney’s numbers are being inflated, no doubt about it.
I’m really worried that Romney is going to be dumped on us like McCain was.
Doesn’t add up to 100...
We have a shot!!!!
Everyone who supports Cain, heck, anyone who doesn’t support Romney or Obama, give give give to Herman Cain! $9.99 isn’t much for most, so give! Some can’t give, so give twice, once more for the family who can’t spare it!
I believe Cain is all we’ve got protecting us from Romney or Obama for the next 4. And I LIKE him.
Looks like Perry should’ve been focusing on Cain, and not Romney, in the debates. He has to first win the quaterfinal match determining the leading social conservative candidate, before he has a chance to take on Romney in the semifinal match (with Obama awaiting the winner of the Republican bracket in the Championship Match).
If I were Perry, I’d stress a proven record of winning political races in a big, once competitive state, the ability to appeal to urban and rural voters, and to Hispanics, with an unapologetic conservative message.
Now, I don’t know if Perry would be interested in being a VP candidate (the way I believe Cain would be). But, clearly, Romney would have to name a conservative to the ticket “to secure the base.” If Perry were to do well in the primaries, he could be that guy. But, here’s how things are shaping up: Herman Cain is consolidating the conservative wing of the Republican Party. This would make him a very attractive running mate for Romney. Cain would be Romney’s wing man.
I don’t think it works the other way around. I don’t think Cain would need to name Romney or any other moderate as his running mate. Cain might name Newt Gingrich, whose total command of every issue is very impressive. Newt’s kind of a mainstream conservative, not really a moderate and not really a social conservative either.
Cain-Gingrich would be similar to Obama-Biden in that Biden supposedly made up for Obama’s obvious lack of experience, in or out of government, legislative or executive. Cain has good executive experience in the corporate sector, as well as represented a significant industry in Washington and served as director and chairman of the board of directors of a Federal Reserve Bank. But, what Cain lacks is experience in an elected office which, to a Republican, isn’t as important as it would be to a Democrat. But, Gingrich has that kind of experience in spades.

“During the last election cycle, The Des Moines Register Iowa Poll released October 5, 2007 showed Romney leading Fred Thompson 29 to 18 percent. Mike Huckabee had 12 percent support in that poll, essentially tied with Rudy Giuliani, who had 11 percent. Read the details of that October 2007 poll here. Margin of error was +/- 4.9 percent, same as the Iowa Poll just released tonight. (In case you’re just joining us, Huckabee won the 2008 Iowa Caucuses, Romney was second; Fred Thompson was third.)”
