Top pick second to the lead is Newt?
This poll has a bit of catching up to do.
With the field narrowing in the past few days it has a LOT of catching up to do. So much in fact it says so itself.
And Mitt way out in front as Most Electable? I would not bet that tip, no sir.
WOW that would be a winner winner
I can say, with absolute honesty and accuracy, that I have NO liberal friends. (didn't think about that till you mentioned) Even "moderates" only take a few seconds to switch on to my political structure.
Some even get it the first time I refer to "little bammy" as a brain damaged communist. :-)
At that point I am Texas summer sunlight to a fresh vampire.

the medis is treating Herman Cain the same way they always did Alan Keyes
Did you notice like I did that Herman Cain sucked all of oxygen out of the Ron Paul campaign in the SC debate?
Ron Paul was depending on these early debates to strike out his territory and get some momentum started, by winning these early debates.
Instead all the news coverage you heard was Herman this and Cain that. The only coverage Paul got was his quote about "Who here would use herion if it was legal?"
Herman Cain's performance (and its coverage by the press) left Ron Paul's 2012 campaign without any momentem from the debate--zero, nada, none; and he won't get any traction from future debates either if Cain remains in the race. Cain is pulling in all the supporters Paul was hoping to attrack.
I have to wonder if THAT is why Ron Paul's people are going so hard after Cain? Go visit a few Ron Paul boards, and you'll find they're talking about two candidates: Ron Paul (and how to help him), and Herman Cain (and how to destroy him).
The fact is the Ron Paul campaign has gone into full attack mode against Herman Cain. That's why you're seeing the same slanted and distored attacks against him over, and over, and over, and over again in an attempt to muddy the waters.
I'm just sayin'...
Wow, there's a ringing endorsement...
HA...that’s good....
Wow, there's a ringing endorsement...
Cain is VERY effective just talking through his solutions as he did in the SC debate. If he stays focused on the issues by offering his solutions, he'll stand out STRONGLY to MOST people. My point: Don't dissipate the stature that is already there with that OVERDONE effort that campaign teams usually push at the public trying to convince the public of way too many things that, in the end, are irrelevant to his obvious LEADERSHIP stature.
Cain's knowledge and LEADERSHIP ability comes across in his on-camera presence. He comes across as "The Man with the PLAN" and somehow you already know that he's quite capable of getting things done.
Comparing CAIN to Obama is very similar to comparing the acting skills and levels of an ANTHONY HOPKINS as opposed to EDDIE MUNSTER.
But why would you bring up Paul anyway? Let's stick to the subject, shall we? I would have thought that we would have learned our lesson about hero worship, and blindly swooning over someone we're infatuated with. I simply would like a detailed explanation of Cain's views on the Fed, not some vague "well, maybe we could look at that" crap.
The Fed is evil, the source of all of our problems. Look at history. We've had three central banks in this country, and every single time they've manipulated the currency and the economy for their own benefit.
You can put your unquestioned faith in anyone you want. I want to know what Cain would do, if anything, about the Fed. But I'm not holding my breath, because the chances of that question being being posed to Mr. Cain are slim or none. I doubt his involvement with the KC Fed will ever come up in a debate.
I'll vote for Cain against Zero if it comes to that. Of course I will. No Ron Paul writeins here.
But I'll never slobber over anyone who's been rubbing shoulders with the banksters...
Well that’s why on Gallup, he got a paltry 0.5%...too many primary voters still don’t read news online and don’t pay attention to anyone non-establishment.
Tea parties aside of course.
What Cain must do, is focus like a bullet on IA and SC. Iowa may be harder for him, but some there too. Maybe put a few bucks of his own cash in to jump start things.
That will get the ignorant masses to start noticing.
It’s because the information is ALREADY AVAILABLE.
Pinging the Cainiacs!
Herman just finished his 16th trip to Iowa (since January) and enjoyed some Chili at the great Cedar Rapids Chili cookoff. Of course a lot of his Texas supporters are saying he really needs to go there for some REAL chili. :-)

By the way - I prefer a president who eats chili to one who eats Wagyu beef. I’m just sayin’.
I got my Herman Cain - 2004 Georgia-shaped lapel pin in the Senatorial primary. Not to brag about being an early supporter or anything.
;-P
Link, please...

Even if Herman doesn’t win, at least he’s been useful in taking out that crackpot.
True dat.
If the media can’t attack the candidate, the media will ignore the candidate.
