[RINOs suck]

I’m saying right now that Cain has no chance of winning the nomination.

Anyone leading a major poll right now has a chance.

It's insane to claim Ron Paul has a chance to win the nomination and Cain doesn't.

I like Michele Bachmann but Cain is a way ahead of her at this point in regard to being the potential nominee. Right now, only Sarah Palin deciding to run could derail Cain as the conservative frontrunner.

Cain has been creeping up the leaderboard for some time. Proof of that is the fear in the RINO establishment's eyes as they try to dismiss him. He is resonating with the grassroots and early primary voters.

He still has a long climb but he has ascended quite a bit already. He can win IA and SC and then it's game on.

This is a different season - GOP primary voters aren't lockstepping with the party choices.

Cain has a puncher's shot at this

I’m looking at name recognition and strongly favorable.

The Zogby interactive poll is emailed to selected people who have signed up to do the Zogby polls. So, it’s less scientific than regular polls, but a little bit more scientific than the online polls that Ron Paul typically wins.

“Right now, only Sarah Palin deciding to run could derail Cain as the conservative frontrunner.”

I agree. If Palin runs, Cain will have a fight on his hands. Otherwise, this is his to lose. [If he has a scandal or makes a major verbal slip, for example.] In this day and age, people can rise from obscurity if ...

1. They have a strong base that is willing to work hard.

2. They know how to lead and expand that core base.

3. They are mentally prepared and make the right moves well in advance.
