This is good. I’m excited. Cain is one of the best. Followed him a while when he did the radio show. Impressive win. Too bad about Bachmann, but Cain was better in all the debates. So I want Cain to win. It was feeling like a long shot till today. So this is good news.

WOO HOO!

Awesome !!

A Cain/Palin ticket would beat Obama handily.

No thnaks. He worked for The Federal Reserve which is worse than working at Goldman Sachs. The Fed - screwing old people and savers. No Cain.

[Darnright]

Yay!!!

I saw the tweet a few minutes ago.

@THEHermanCain Herman Cain

Great day at the straw poll here in Florida: 10 standing ovations is a clear sign of momentum! yfrog.com/o0aihqj #p5 #tcot

Guess those Comeback Kid stories for Perry will have to wait.

Good job, Mr. Cain.

[DTogo]

So far, Herman Cain would have my vote - way before Romney or Ricardo!

[jgge]

Straw polls are meaningless. Ron Paul wins most of the straw polls and it does not help him a bit. Bachmann won the Iowa straw poll and she is finished by all standards.

Because the Florida Straw Poll was never wrong, didn't I hear someone, somewhere, saying... Rick Perry was a goner 'cause the winner would be the next President and old Mitt was a cinch to win it?

[Marty62]

Thank Goodness. Finally the Paulettes couldn’t influence poll.

[carjic]

I have always thought a Palin/Cain ticket was the “Ticket”. Great job Cain!

[grey_whiskers]

Perry can't win. He should just endorse Cain now.

If he doesn't he is a closet racist and heartless.

Cheers!

Fantastic!!! He’d be my choice of declared candidates. Well done Mr. Cain!!!

[TruthHound]

The ballot must have been too confusing. This IS Florida, you know.

Vladimir is concerned about this recent development.

All right! As a Sarah Palin supporter I realize that she may choose not to run, after all, so I've been seeking a 'Plan B' candidate to vote for and support. Like most conservatives, I couldn't stomach the phony Mitt Romney and Rick Perry wasn't cutting it, either. I like Michele Bachmann but she seems to be stumbling. Herman Cain was a possibility but only if Bachmann totally imploded, which I feared was likely. Now, Mr. Cain has finally broken out of the pack and I can look to him as my 'Plan B' candidate if Palin declines to run. Good man with a good message.

I hope he can capitalize on this and push the media-driven Romney-Perry 'front runners' off the stage. He won't be taken seriously by the leftmedia and the GOP elites will sneer at his lack of political 'experience' but conservatives now have a viable candidate they can support. For me, I'll be happy to see the Romney/Perry duo pushed to the side because neither one is a conservative. Especially Mitt. This is a great day, even for those of us that may be hoping for Sarah Palin to enter the Republican primary race. Herman Cain is too good to dismiss and I hope he can keep his momentum going.

This shows that conservatives outnumber rinos. I like Cain, bit he does not at least yet have the organization, big money, and he had no past history of holding a political office. There is a thirst go a real conservative, I think that this could be an indicator or how Palin would do.

My husband and I are delegates and we voted for Cain.this Man showed up to win! The others blew us off and we could tell. Newt, Santorium also stayed and spoke. The others cut and ran. Didn’t matter though because my mind was made up Friday morning! Now hit the ground and run! Florida has proven that Grassroots activism DOES work.
