As Cain’s poll numbers keep surging up, the perception that he can’t win will dissapear, I didn’t think Cain could win a week ago either, now I think actually think he could wipe the floor with Romney.
Agreed, the “Cain can’t win” idea is so September 2011. All he has to do now is not flame out and he waltzes to the nod. But there have been two major flame outs already, Bachmann and Perry, and now Cain is at bat. These next few weeks will be very interesting.

Exactly. Things are changing fast. As little as three weeks ago I asked a Republican voter what he thought of Herman Cain. He didn’t even know who I was talking about.
Still, Intrade has Romney increasing his standing to 67%, a new high, probably because Perry was viewed as his main challenger, and has now dropped back. Cain has been at 9% for a while now. I suppose you can’t rule out the possibility that Romney’s put some money on himself at Intrade, but assuming it’s an honest market, it’s a good way to snap oneself back to reality.
Cain is making good progress, but he’s got a long ways to go. First, he needs to hang in there until the first primaries...then we’ll see.
