This is what I was trying to tell everyone. I said that people are always switching who they want because they were looking for a candidate that wass’t there in Sarah Palin. She would have one the nomination because of her popularity and because she is a complete polar opposite of Osama. Oops, I mean Obama. She is extremely likeable, has integrity, and is genuine. All these traits people are seeing in Herman Cain. Since she announced that she is not running, everyone has jumped on the Herman Cain bandwagon. He will be our presidential nominee and no longer will any libtard be able to say conservatives are racist. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Ms. Garafalo!

Romney at the next debate will look into the camera and ask, in frustration:

“C’mon people, how many positions do I have to take on an issue before you finally see me as a conservative?”

Well according to Janeane Garafalo, your house guests are all closet racists.

Well, if that is the criteria, then I must think that she looks like a grouper(not groupee) in that picture..... Which she does.

But how many times is this same story going to be posted? I got all excited thinking it was a different poll backing up this one.

I agree. This one didn't even need a search. All one had to do was look at the sidebar!

I don't believe it.

I do believe the MSM is meeting all over the country to plot how to get dirt on Cain.

If they can't find dirt, they'll start in on the cancer thing.

Cain is one of those guys that has core values, sticks to them, expresses them honestly,....

Are you sure about that?

Apart from listening to the great sound bites he threw out at the debate, how much do most voters really known about Cain's political posturing?

======================

Cain, May 5, 2011, Regarding the killing of al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki

"He should be charged. And since he's an American citizen, he should be tried in our courts," Cain said of al-Awlaki. When asked if he considered it legal for President Obama to order al-Awlaki killed, Cain said, "In his case, no, because he's an American citizen. If he's an American citizen, which is the big difference, then he should be charged, and he should be arrested and brought to justice."

======================

Cain, October, 2011, Regarding the killing of al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki

"Asked why he had backed off his opposition to the U.S. military's targeting Anwar Awlaki, the al Qaeda terrorist and American citizen who was killed Friday by a drone strike in Yemen, Cain denied that he had ever opposed taking out Awlaki. “I never said that [President Obama] should not have ordered [the killing]. I don’t recall saying that. I think you’ve got some misinformation," Cain said. "Keep in mind that there are a lot of people out there trying to make me sound as if I am indecisive."

“There’s no doubt Cain is the current “flavor of the week” (as Perry, Bachman and even Trump have been before him) but can he sustain his poll numbers? Personally, I think he’s peaked. Perry is currently raising mountains of cash. He’ll be back (hopefully he spent some of this $$$ on debate coaching).”


It’s hard to erase first impressions and for Perry that simply will not be an easy image to build on. Money helps but as the old song goes, it “Can’t Buy (You) Love” when the first three “dates” (debates) have gotten worse and not better. This poll is certainly an outlier when compared to individual state polls but clearly shows a trend that started with a bang in Florida. Cain, of course, becomes Target #1 from the other hopefuls but I am reasonably confident that when the dust settle Perry will be down and close to out and Cain will have solidified a two-way contest with Romney.

It would be really fun to watch the first Black president be defeated by the second.

I would enjoy that to no end.

If it shows Cain winning by 20 I don’t believe it, if it shows him up by 2 I don’t believe it, if it shows Romney up by 20 I don’t believe it, if it shows Romney up by 2 I don’t believe it—

Because national polls in a pre-primary season we are in now mean less than nothing.

Raising money and building ground organizations in the big delegates states is what matters now.

Cain needs to clarify his stance here. It'll be interesting to see, because I am rather torn on this incident as well; it seems to be an issue of policy more than legality. I'm certainly not sure if I trust this President to carry out this policy. And thus, I'm not sure I'd want any President to act cavalier or impulsive on such considerations.

Nah, Perry is not in seclusion, he is staying under the radar making a lot of speeches and campaign stops.

Question. Who is the best fit with Cain and for the USA among the ‘in’ runners? I have mine.

Romney and Perry, as phony professional politician/chameleons, will do JUST like McCain 2008 did just around pre-South Carolina...veer hard and insincerely RIGHT. They will toss red meat left and right. Don’t be fooled folks. Hang tough. Herman Cain is the real deal...and their camps are extremely concerned about it. Next debate though he will vanquish them! But constant prayer and talking individually with your friends will help! Plus donations....
Sarah Palin could give an endorsement, too. That would work wonders. Let’s make liberal heads explode in awe, from coast to coast!!!
