MSNBC.COM - Fueled by Tea Party supporters, conservatives and high-interest GOP primary voters, former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain now leads the race for the Republican presidential nomination, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
And in yet another sign of how volatile the Republican race has been with less than three months until the first nominating contests, the onetime frontrunner, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, has plummeted to third place, dropping more than 20 percentage points since late August.
"Cain is the leader ... That's the story," said Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff.

Off topic-Is it true, do you or does anyone know, if Romney's Mass. health care authors worked with the WH to draft the ominous and OUTRAGEOUS uhbamacare/deathcare program?
Yep and I heard Obama was at one of the meetings personnally.

Thank you. I tried to look to see if it had been posted already.
Go Hermanator!!!!
I just don’t see how anyone cannot love this man.
He came from NOTHING. And I mean — NOTHING. What other candidate can talk about having drank from the “colored” water fountain? No candidate in HISTORY has been through this side of things.
Contrast this to any of these candidates right NOW.
He’s a self made man. Entirely. Survived segregation, cancer, the corporate world. Has a wonderful family, and one can tell — the man was close to his father and was raised WELL.
He’s a man I can look up to. He’s not even president yet, and yet I find myself thinking of him when I’m having bad days at work. He just makes me want to keep on going and not get discouraged about things.
Truly an inspiration. We need a person like this NOW in America. The LAST thing I need is another elitist, Harvard educated rich dude who’s never truly “suffered” through anything. I mean— Romney’s a good guy, but just hasn’t had the struggle. I just cannot relate to the man in any way.
I don’t have any money but wife and I are going to throw a few bucks to Cain in order to keep this thing going. Our own operation Chaos, to thwart the Romney media and bought-and-paid-for machine.
Cain is going to need the big money boys to sign on( doubt that very much) or a hell of a grass roots influx of $$$$
Look for the establishment GOP big money to pour it into Romney even more now that Cain is a threat
Yup think I’m going to send some money to his campaign.
Think in time to he should improve on his debate skills. Not that there bad, but there is always room for improvement.
Romney is a Liberal while Cain is a real conservative.
Do I need to say anything else?
