He said the word was insensitive. Its isn’t like he called Perry heartless!
Cain/on the issues
It depends on what you mean by the term ‘affirmative action’
When I ran in the 2004 Republican U.S. Senate primary in Georgia, the majority of my support came from white Georgians, not urban Atlanta’s African-Americans. Those who supported my campaign and voted for me embraced my issue-based campaign.
What did the media always want to ask me about? My position on affirmative action. My standard answer was, “It depends on what you mean by the term ‘affirmative action’.” That usually caused blank stares from the reporters and allowed me to turn the focus back on the big issues.
In the real world, the individuals who usually rise to the top of their chosen professions and achieve their dreams are the most talented and hardest working. In the political world, success is too often determined by political tenure, timing and factors none of us can control, such as our race, ethnicity or sex.

I oppose government-imposed hiring quotas
Though my positions on the political issues have wavered little throughout my life, I honestly did not realize I was a conservative until I began my campaign for US Senate. I am pro-life on the issue of abortion. I fully support the Second Amendment right to bear arms. I am opposed to a government-imposed quota system on hiring practices. I believe we must replace the out-of-date federal tax code, and I believe Congress must severely cut back on its wasteful spending. But I did not know the term conservative defined my belief system. Prior to initial consultations with my campaign consultants when I ran for US Senate in Georgia, no one had ever packaged my political views into a single term.

Damn skippy!!!! Toot toot!!!
Exactly! Thank you.
Ping for home watching.
Get your foot off the post pedal, noob.
The MSM is going to do its best to, successfully, “trip up” Herman Cain, and I do hope that Herman Cain is well prepared for it!
Hardly, Palin supporters are much more intelligent than that.
Zogby is a joke. And the msm is jerking the nitwit public around like a ragdoll.
I was being polite.
And you were, and perhaps I should have been. But Zogby is full of mendacity, and I cannot let it pass that this poll is anything but full of his proven rotten special sauce.
The msm will have to give Cain a pass on vetting as they did Obama, or their hypocrisy will be glaring. If they do call Cain out, they will have to call Obama out, ie grades, medical records, etc.

My post wasn’t about Zogby, it was about what I have seen regardless of Zogby’s results. It shows a Cain surge among everyday people, and the other polls are starting to reflect it as well.
This.
“The only poll out there that has any kind of valid statistical methodology backing it (+/-3 registered, but +/-6 GOP likely, on a small sample) is the CBSNews poll

Wow is right. I am so glad to hear this.
Post of the day!
And he’d fire himself!
The CBSNews poll I cited shows Cain tied 17%-17% with Romney, but with a hybrid statistical sampling that renders even that outcome fairly worthless.
But this Zogby poll is pure garbage. It's not even an outlier -- it's an attempt to manipulate people who won't take the time or lack the capacity to examine factual statistical evidence.
