After 3 unimpressive debates and is stance on amnesty for illegals through the educational system call me a lemming!

I gave the guy a chance after Rush pushed him to run. The first debate I wrote off as getting a late start into the race and first debate jitters. The second debate got me riled on his pathway for illegals through the educational system and last night just showed there is no way he could win against Obama - even with teleprompters!

Herman Cain is proving to be a man that I'd like to see be the next POTUS.

So Romney remains at a flat line. (Apt metaphor.) I don't know what Sarah Palin's plans are, but I am inclined to think that the best way to beat Romney is for the other conservatives to drop out of the race so that their constituencies can move toward a single candidate.

Perhaps now is the time for Sarah to cash in some of her political equity and endorse Herman Cain.

Fine. Just as long as they spell his name right and there are no scandals (that involve a dead girl or a live boy in a bed) and keep talking "Cain" and reaching people who never heard of him, who then say "Hey, WHO IS THIS CAIN that Coulter and BOR are talking about anyways?? Hmmmmm, I think I'll just go to the internet or YouTube and check out this Cain guy". This is precisely the PR slingshot which we want and need, even if it is NEGATIVE info dump on Herman, it actually is a NET POSITIVE in the game of fundamentally "growing name ID."

“BOR said tonight that Cain has no chance to beat Obama.”

Ahhh. The O’Reilly oracle has spoken. I guess it’s all over then.

Yes, she should do so by late October, and if not then something is seriously wrong with her. All hands on deck in the STOP ROMNEY MOVEMENT is what I say for this Autumn in the here and now. He is Tea Party. She is Tea Party. No brainer. You would think.

“Cain Vaults to Lead in Poll”

Let’s be honest. I’m happy to see Cain leading the Kenyan crumb in this poll. I like Mr. Cain.

The poll before this one told us that only 28% of Americans will definetely vote for Buckwheat in 2012.

That means that Bachman beats obuma, and Perry, and Santorum and Huntsman and Paul. etc.

This has been a falling trend for obuma for months.

Any poll that shows obuma beating any republican candidate is full of manure, including the latest fake Rasmussen poll.

Obuma is dead meat.

Juan Williams just made a very interesting point on Hannitys show - saying that according to some people who have really studied the demographics, Herman Cain would win about 1/3 of African American votes. That’s just huge, considering that the Republicans have basically written-off the black vote.

Juan said mant good things about Herman Cain.

Listened to Gerri Willis on FOX Business this afternoon. She is so in the tank for Mitt Obamalite Romney that it’s ridiculous. Has been attacking Cain’s 9-9-9 plan for several days now. While it might not be the end all and be all, it certainly beats anything the others have offered up and at least there is something on the table to discuss. Romney keeps telling us it’s all in his epistle - would like to hear him actually articulate for everyone to hear what he plans to do about IRS, the debt and the tax structure.

“Romney’s supporters seem to be hard core.”

hard core moderates ... The 1/4 of Republicans who are *not* conservative.

The best way to interpret this is BAD NEWS FOR ROMNEY!! He is stagnant at around 25% and over 70% of the GOP voters DON’T WANT HIM!! He may have the money, organization, establishment backing, Fox News, etc. But no amount of money and no number of so-called conservative politicians endorsing him and putting lipstick on his pig of a record is going to change that! The establishment media can lie to themselves all they want about his “inevitability”, but the people that matter are the ones who show up and vote-and we are ready to reject him overwhelmingly.

We just need to agree on an alternative. Right now, Cain is riding high, but at this time in 2007, Guiliani was leading the pack. These polls are quite fluid, but one thing seems to be remaining steady-and that’s Romney’s support at around 25%.

Appears GOP Establishment and “conservative” pundits have not learned from 2010— the harder they push their candidate, the more they disaffect voters from that candidate.

The only candidate, that can beat Obama, and the closest to tea party conservative principals is cain
I think shhe will wait for the rest of the debates and announce before the first caucus.
I thought she might endorse Perry but he is sinking.
Recent polls have him losing to Obama.

I’d like to see Herman Cain Bambi to the ground.
