After pushing Herman Cain on their network since last Thursday, I’m not surprised the Godfather isn’t in first place. Big jump.
Bachman will be out soon as will Johnson and little Ricky.
Note that the establishment GOP is nearly now all behind Willard.
I wonder where Gingrich will stand. I suspect it might be Cain if it continues.
This can’t be true!
Debates don’t matter! That’s what Perry’s people told me!
LOL!
These polls really are for strippers and cross country skiers, and FOX might be the worst of the lot.
But the Perryites were pushing them to prove his “inevitability” so fair is fair.
Kudos to Cain who has persevered on a shoe string budget, stayed true to himself and his plan, and took advantage when he got the chance.
If Palin doesn’t run I could see getting behind Cain.
I like him a lot but his 999 proposal sucks. After reading it I did some serious thinking on it and concluded it is simple but stupid.
Regardless it has 0% chance of passing even with a major majority in the House and a majority in the Senate.
The order is similar when GOP primary voters were asked which candidate they have the most in common with: Perry tops that list at 17 percent, followed by Cain at 14 percent, Romney at 12 percent, Bachmann at 10 percent, Gingrich at 7 percent and Paul at 6 percent.
He can win.
I sent him some moolah today.
Pinganator!
Herman Cain passes 200,000 likes on Facebook and sends this video thanks to all his supporters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwg9bDC-_Ew
Also he writes on Facebook today: In honor of Rosh Hashanah, I would like to wish the Jewish community a warm Shana Tova.

I’ll be very happy when Cain is solidly in the #1 spot.
There is a clear trend - Romney is beating Perry in just about every poll now.
Cain is gaining on them now. I’m most pleased.

I’m thrilled that Cain is gaining the support that he deserves.
If he moves into a strong 2nd place, look for him to become the new piñata of the week. The MSM and ‘moderate’ Republicans will not let his polling to go much higher unscathed.
17 percent? YES!!!!!!!!
Let’s get Perry off the stage. Time for Cain to make his case to the American public.
Looks like Cain and Perry battling for 2nd place, while Romney remains the frontrunner.
I am very near to switching my support to Cain. Perry has to show he can put forth a coherent defense of his positions. I wasn’t expecting Perry to be a Cicero, but I was expecting better than he’s shown so far.
Still have some minor reservations about Cain’s 2nd Amendment position, but I’m not too worried about it.
Right on! Let’s go Cain.
(cue naysayers who will say this is still just another ‘fluke’)
I like Cain... he is a positive force for Republicans... Cain is not my favorite compared to what could be... But GOOD FOR HIM... The Straw votes for Cain and the Poll votes for Cain are as much Protest Votes against the Republican Establishment support for Romney and against the media hype for Perry... not just a vote for Cain... Conservatives are FED UP with the CRAP from the Republican Establishment and the Leftist Media.
Bottom line - No Republican Presidential Candidate will be nominated via Republican Primary Elections unless CONSERVATIVES APPROVE by vote... So Dream On Pretend Conservatives like Perry, Romney, Christie and others
