“Ridiculous is right.
Cain just brought in a top tier communications director JD Gordon (Pentagon/Rumsfeld spokesman) - he started today.
He’s doing well in the polls, beating Romney is most of them.
His book is part of getting his name out - it’s called “This is Herman Cain - My Journey to the White House”.
His support for Romney was in 2008 when most of FR supported Romney because was better than McCain. He has been critical of Romney in regards to Romneycare both recently and in 2007.
And no, Herman would never, NEVER vote for Obama. Insane.”
Herman Cain won the Illinois Tea Party poll this weekend, by one of the biggest margins yet:
10. Johnson 0%
9. Hunstman 0%
8. Obama 0.2%
7. Santorum 1.4%
6. Paul 1.8%
5. Romney 2.6%
4. Perry 3%
3. Gingrich 3.8%
2. Bachmann 9.4%
1. Cain 77.5%
Herman Cain’s positive intensity score has been the highest every week, until the week Rick Perry announced, and Perry got a little bump - then Herman was back on top the next.
I expect that he will be staying on top of that one, as more people find out about about Perry’s Hispanic pandering.
Closer look at Perry = less support.
Closer look at Herman = more support.
Right now Perry is the shiny new penny, but people are going to start taking a closer look at him.
As people start looking at the other way of looking at “the two man race,” the Positive Intensivity scores on Gallup, Herman is the only one who really has it all.
Remember, talk is cheap for politicians at election time.
And shame on Rush and the “conservative” media for going with the headlines, instead of looking at what Herman actually said.
You don't get flak unless you are over the target.
This will be a moment of high lib media/blogosphere anti-Cain intensity as his support and coffers and national name ID grows exponentially. You kidding? Leno? Hannity? The View? CBS TV on Sunday? People are going to catch on. Boy are they going to catch on. Sarah Palin had to go through the whole darned thing, too. They hate her. They hate him. However, what is certain, is this is going to be a Tea Party/prairie fire politically from coast-to-coast. And MAN can I dig that baby. It must totally frost Mr. Obama's nuts, I'll tell ya what.
It is a mathematical if not philosophical "given" the man Herman Cain must go through these stupid, groundless, if not cruel and dishonest attacks and spins and attack-narrative, and this whole overall test. It means we are doing something right. I means we are gaining. It means we are stepping or rice bowls left and right (an old Asian saying), we are knocking down sacred cows.
This is all to be expected.
Just remember Gandhi's quotes about the stages one must go through to get to victory. We are in those initial stages now and it will build, but with it will build the resolve of Cain's supporters (and the candidate himself, I am convinced of his fire in the belly and teflon-qualities mentally), until he is the nominee of our Party for 2012. It will happen. Take that to the BANK.
Cain's new director of communications is no top tier communications director what-so-ever.
He was in public relations in the military, and that is the only reason he was associated with Donald Rumsfeld who would have been the Secretary of Defense during his military career.
After his military retirement a couple years back, Gordon then started his own PR business and spent those couple of years advising Sarah Palin, and you see where THAT got her.
Oh yea, a real top-tier communications director indeed.
