It’s a shame to see people abandoning Cain and going to Gingrich because of some unfounded allegations trumped up by the Establishment Republicans and the MSM.
What will they do when Gingrich comes under similar attacks, which he surely will if he becomes successful? Most people who have flipped don’t even really know what Gingrich is about — they just like that he comes off as authoritative in the debates.
Cain supporters, please do not waver — do not let the Establisment, The Left and the MSM win by turning, running and jumping ship so easily.
If we show some courage, Herman Cain and the Tea Party will win.

I’m still with Cain. Newt would be next. After that, I’d have to vote for my cat. Ok, maybe my cat second.
You’re projecting, bobk333. TGO has a large national audience. Newt has comported himself superbly in all of the debates. Herman Cain is also moving up in the polls while Romney is falling! I happen to think that Romney supporters are going to Newt.
“If we show some courage, Herman Cain and the Tea Party will win...”
Many things can change between now and Convention. That said, Cain is the most consistant candidate on the conservative side. I like Newt, but he has too much baggage. A Cain/Gingrich ticket, though might be good. Or a Cain/Palin ticket. ‘Balance’ might suggest a Cain/Perry ticket, but I would likely have a choking fit.
The ‘9’s’ only suggest to me that Cain recognizes a need for major tax overhaul. Given an adequate Congressional majority, I can see some changes in the overall scheme of tax things. As for the 16th, how do you repeal an ‘illegal’ amendment? :)

I don’t think Gingrich’s recent rise in the polls is necessarily coming at the expense of Cain and the allegations against him. I think many conservatives, including myself, are liking Gingrich’s fire, his take-no-BS from the media and leftist debate moderators, and his command of the issues he has consistently displayed during the debates. I’m convinced Newt would make Obama look really bad in a head-to-head debate.
Gingrich has also come under fire many times before, including the moment he was sworn in as Speaker of the House in 1995. He knows what to expect and how to handle the pressure. Gingrich is not a perfect candidate, but he has enough of a conservative record that would make him a FAR better and more desirable president than that Marxist a-hole Obama.
Cain sounds good but has no record. Talk is cheap, action in politics is what proves a conservative. Gingrich1, Cain2, and Romney3—There are no less than 1 million potential candidates in this country that would be a 1000 fold improvement over obuttface.
