People like him. He’s tough and succinct and has a great sense of humor.

Mainstream Media: “But, but, but Chris Christie endorsed ROMNEY! What is wrong with these stupid Republicans? Don’t they know our candidate when they see him?”

[PAConservative1]

But but I thought Cain had no chance! He was running to be Romney’s VP! All the Perrywinkle fangirls told me so! How can this be?! You know, even though in a two way race Cain beats Romney, but Romney CRUSHES Perry.

Everyone that is against him must be racist s/

What I read into this is that things are changing. Can Cain win? Most likely since many people view Romney as a career politician. Cain’s views are interesting and new but, we the people, must get behind whoever wins this thing 100% and change Congress or it won’t mean anything. We must take the Senate back and do it with the right people. Also, the leader of the Senate and the House need to be people that have the best interest of the country at heart and have the guts to stand up for the country.

[GreenAccord]

Well well well. Can’t say this is a surprise. He’s had a ton of momentum.

[grumpa]

The powers that be continue to underestimate the Tea Party.

[InterceptPoint]

As predicted by many here, Newt is bubbling into the top tier.

[chemicalman]

Christy can put his endorsement on the beach. Maybe a tropical storm will come by and kill it.

[magritte]

PPP is now a respectable polling firm? Oooooooooookay.

[ColdOne]

It is only a shock to the far left media.

Newt Gingrich at 15 percent

Shows the value of ideas in this race. People want solutions, not slogans.

[ken21]

pTL!

[Mountain Bike Vomit Carnage]

It’s only a shocker that people who claimed to be smarter than democrats would vote for someone who has no experience and makes his living as a motivational speaker.

Actually it’s quite shameful.

[pgkdan]

Wouldn't get too excited about this, even though Cain's rise in stature is hard to deny. PPP is a Daily Kos affiliate, after all.

Pinging the Cain Train!

Cain's total favorable rating of 77% is five points higher than Romney's 72%, suggesting the two are about equally well-liked among Republicans familiar with them. What separates the two, as evidenced by their Positive Intensity Scores, is the intensity those who like Cain feel toward him. Thirty-five percent of Republicans familiar with Cain have a strongly favorable opinion of him, compared with 18% for Romney.

I see Gingrich is coming up fast. Unlike Perry-and I suspect Cain-Newt won’t stumble. Romney will only win if enough conservatives hang around to split the vote.

[Biggirl]

Herman Cain surging is a sign that the people who support the GOP DO NOT want the GOP establishment to CHOSE their canidiate.

[kidd]

PPP is part of the opinion shaping branch of the DNC.
I like Cain, but this one is not to be taken seriously.

I’m glad to see Newt climb out of the pack (as a Georgia boy I’m proud to have two Georgian’s in the race—yea, I know Newt was an army brat; didn’t move to GA till an adult; and now lives in Va, but so what? I’ll claim who I want).
