By Alexis Levinson - The Daily Caller

In news sure to inject shock and awe into the Republican political primary season, a Zogby poll released Thursday showed Herman Cain leading the Republican field, topping former front-runner Mitt Romney by an astonishing 20 points. Cain would also narrowly edge out Obama in a general election, the poll found, by a 46�44 margin.
Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, would lose by a point to the president, 40 percent to 41 percent. Texas governor Rick Perry, who has slipped in the polls of late, would lose to the president 45 percent to 40 percent.
The poll found that 38 percent of Republican primary voters said they would vote for Cain if the primary were held today. Eighteen percent said they would throw their support to Romney, while 12 percent each said they would vote for Perry and Texas congressman Ron Paul. No other candidate attracted double-digit support.

bump!
Is he going to come to “flyover country” here in central Pa?
We need you Herman!
“The Cain train has gone insane!”—Herman Cain :)
Looks like I will have to vote for Cain here in Florida....I still think we get stuck with Mittens...
Not sure about planted stories.The msm may not go after him because he’s black but they may ignore him.
Agree I much prefer Perry over Cain.
9. 9. 9.
So easy, even a caveman can get it.
What's your point?
Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!
I’m praying that we don’t get stuck with Myth. His policies just sound like he’s reading from the democratic hand book. blech!
I don’t want to get ahead of things but I almost want to see Herman Cain nominated just so I can look at all the fools, including one family member, who actually told me that the only reason I wouldn’t support Obama is because I am a RACIST and tell them I am going to the polls to happily vote for Herman Cain and if you don’t you are a damned RACIST!!!
“I think the debt load is going to hurl this country back into the dark ages no matter who is president.”

Sadly, I think you are right and most of the world along with us. All the fantastic new technology might actually allow us to come out of this dark hole but political posturing by would be dictators will prevent it.
“Obama is only half black.”

According to Dr. Jack Wheeler you give him way too much credit.
When does BOR (Ted Baxter) NOT look foolish?
“If its Romney, Ill leave the top spot blank.”

Before leaving it blank I would write in Jody Miller.

Well, if you hadn’t posted it, I would have had to, so thanks.
There are plenty of real polls where Herman Cain is surging; I think it’s actually disrespectful to Mr. Cain to be touting a Zogby unscientific Internet survey as evidence of how he is leading Romney. It’s the polling equivalent of the soft bigotry of low expectations—are we conservatives that pessimistic about Herman Cain’s that we feel the need to cite this crap?
I love your scenario! :)
You wouldn't have to expend the energy in moving. If that *were* the choice, we would *become* Greece, or a close facsimile, in very short order...
