Meanwhile who is leading in the IA polls?
I like Santorum, but this is much to do about nothing.
There may have also been an issue of better pay and more responsibility. I’ve seen Iowa field reps hop and jump around like grasshoppers going from candidate to candidate.
How’s it working out, Tina.
Herman Cain has surged into an eight-point lead over his nearest Republican rival in first-in-the-nation Iowa, an exclusive Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage poll released on Monday shows. The former pizza magnate is supported by 26 percent of voters who say they will vote for him in the Hawkeye State GOP caucus, compared to 18 percent who opt for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. The surprising numbers come just two months after the popular Ames Iowa Straw Poll where Cain ranked fifth among the top-tier candidates, taking 1,456 votes to winner Michele Bachmann’s 4,823 votes. Cain alos is running second behind Romney in New Hampshire, according to a separate Newsmax poll in that state. Combined, the two polls confirm that with the clock ticking on the primary season, Cain is now the clear favorite among conservatives who are determined to defeat Romney for the nomination.

Better yet, Jamie Dupree is talking to Boortz right now about how weird the support for Cain is even though he has no recognizabe effort in Nevada and especially in Iowa. He just can’t get over it.
I get it! and so do the 45% in the Zogby poll with Mittens at 21%. Their heads are exploding!
No big deal...both are non-electable but one sings better.
This kind of thing reminds me of the idiots who came out with "diva" stories about Sarah Palin after the 2008 election. It said a lot more about them than Sarah Palin.
Any time I've ever started a new job, it was just understood that you don't trash the old one. Doesn't matter what the field. It's just unprofessional.
Staffers gotta eat. Has nothing to do with Cain.
talk about bad timing. Leaving the guy that is leading in all of the polls for someone who is hardly breaking into the barely noticied range. Probably a good thing these idiot left Cain’s campaign.
Herman Cain’s former Iowa state director, Tina Goff, has signed on to Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign.
Appears Tina is in free fall.
They resigned in JUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And no, this is not a soap opera - the future of our Republic depends on a sober, nature discussion of the issues.
Some FReepers are descending to the level of Democrats in childish temper tantrums. It is unseemly and useful only to the DEMs and RINOs.
Good move. Like going from the Patriots to the Dolphins. Dumbazz/
Yuppers this shows Cain is in big trouble.
Maybe this guy will hop up to 6 percent Rick when he hits the less than 1 point...
The Public Policy Polling poll, conducted Oct. 7-10, polled 311 probable Iowa caucusgoers and found that 30 percent would likely vote for Cain, the Atlanta businessman. Mitt Romney was second with 22 percent and Ron Paul rounded out the top three with 10 percent.

The latest numbers show the stark contrast between Cain’s rise and the demise of Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.
Perry was the leading candidate in Iowa after jumping into the race in August with 22 percent, but slipped all the way to 9 percent — a major indictment of his slumping popularity and viability as a potential Republican nominee.
It’s kind of ironic that the only 2 horses in the race without jockeys are making strong moves turning into the stretch. The Cain horse and the Gingrich horse....go figure?
“This lifeboat is all wet and crowded, I’m swimming back to the Titanic. It looks better over there.”
Are we sure that the staffer wasn’t offered a better deal from Santorum?
Political hacks can be prone to self-defeating behaviors, just like normal people.
