Holy Hanging Chad, Batman!
He’s beating Romney pretty bad in this O’Reilly poll - but look quick before O’Reilly throws out the results like last time!

I LOVE that RINO Hunter Herman Cain bests both Perry and Romney. :-)
Conservatism is alive and well in America. We just need to make sure the leftist media fails in their efforts to choose the Republican nominee.
Yes as an Ohioian I believe this.Romney is not popular but not as unpopular as Obama.I could see Cain sweeping the place he says what everyone is thinking and people respect that.
* Herman Cain 50%
* Mitt Romney 36%

It would appear that Perry should be the one to drop out of the GOP race in order to defeat Mitt, eh?
Right now it looks like Romney will win in NH. Cain could/should win in Iowa, South Carolina and Florida.
Can he pull that off without a ton of money and a big organization?
Another poll where the people didn’t get the talking points memo from August that it’s a race only between Romney and Perry. ;-)
Looks like even a lot of “non-tea-partier” types like Cain.
And considering the RINOish slant of a lot of Ohio GOP voters, its good to see Cain leading.
It’ll be hard...BUT:
1. Cain has raised more in the last few weeks than he had since January.
2. Once he wins Iowa, people will start to realize he’s “for real” and money should again flow in.
3. He has ties to the Koch brothers - which is a good thing for fundraising (but might be a bit of a negative in the general, although nothing that can’t be overcome).
It looks like we are down to 5 people.
•Herman Cain
•Newt Gingrich
•Mitt Romney
•Michele Bachmann
•Rick Perry
Mitt Romney appears to have stalled out. Newt is hanging in there pretty good. Perry and Michele are still hanging around. Cain is the obvious front runner.
After he finishes 2nd in NH, Cain will have a month to organize in Iowa, and three months to organize in Super Tuesday. What’s more, as candidates drop out or become non-viable, support will shift towards Cain.
Romney’s only hope is to destroy Cain, but going negative will backfire. Tonight’s debate will be telling: Will the limousine-liberals circle their wagons and go after Cain for Romney’s sake?

"Perry?" "Perry?" "Perry?"....
According to a PPP analysis of the new poll, Romney remains near the top but can’t get over the hump because conservative voters - usually 35 to 45 percent of the electorate - strongly dislike him and go from one right-wing candidate to another instead of picking Romney.
The interesting number in that poll (and others recently) is Gingrich. He appears to be coming up on the outside as a credible alternative to the Cain/Romney matchup.
I think that would make a great cartoon. Cain with a "Rino gun" standing over a field of vanquished "Rinos".
Great idea! I’ll work on it and credit you when I complete it.
I’m just happy to see Mitt’s number be that low vs the competition.
