Another poll where the people didn’t get the talking points memo from August that it’s a race only between Romney and Perry. ;-)

lol! I'm reminded of one of the more insane PerryBots who commented just days ago that Cain was keeping Perry from getting the nomination 'ensuring that Romney does'.

Mitt Romney appears to have stalled out.

Once the field begins to whittle down it's hard to see a majority of the other candidates' supporters breaking for him rather than Cain.

[Norman Bates]

Huh? Ron Paul is ahead of both Bachmann and Perry who both took enormous dives since the last pool. I’m not sure if “still hanging around” is the right phrase.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Clearly, it’s time for Conservatives to unite behind Perry.

Save a pretzel for the gas jets.

[Grunthor]

Herman Cain 34%

Rick Perry 5%

Yeah. Cain should hurry up and quit so that Perry can beat Romney./s ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

It’s not clear that Perry could compete w/o Cain in the race.

Save a pretzel for the gas jets.

So delicious with hot yella kool-aid.

[imchris]

I guess the Christie’s endorsement didn’t help Wrongney much.

I’m tellin’ ya, Newt knows he can’t win, and he’s going for the strongest showing he can get so he can nail down the veep spot to Cain.

[LS]

Organization is important. Money will come if someone senses a winner. Cain can attract people. I don’t think Newt can. Romney appears stuck at attracting about 20%.

“Will the limousine-liberals circle their wagons and go after Cain for Romney’s sake?”

I’m betting on it...and here is the attacks I expect...

But Paul has the same problem as Romney, namely he plateaus out at about 7% (Romney at about 20-22%). Occasionally they will bump up, but they always seem to come back to their level.

“Mitt Romney appears to have stalled out. Newt is hanging in there pretty good.”

I think Cain is going to tank as people increasingly realize how flawed his 9-9-9 plan is. That’s going to leave Romney and Gingrich to battle it out. This will be an interesting race.

Thank you for pointing out that PPP is a Democrap polling org.

[mandaladon]

Yes he Cain!!!

[Lazamataz]

PPP are a firm allied closely with Democrats.

They seem to be pushing Cain hard.

Here's my private fear: What if the White House has something KILLER on Cain, a deal-breaker, and they want him as the nominee?

Idle time; idle thoughts. But it just seems weird PPP is all-Cain lately.

[Michael Barnes]

You watch, Perry will drop out and support Romney.

David Axelrod: Herman Cain not a serious contender

IMHO, the WH fears Cain and wants no part of him. Not only will he receive votes from Holder's 'people', he is a strong authentic black male who will completely intimidate zero in one-on-one match ups.

[Servant of the Cross]

I would bet against that.

[Netizen]

You just gotta love those numbers!
