Reflecting national trends, businessman Herman Cain has now jumped to the front of the Republican pack in Iowa.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Iowa caucus-goers shows that Cain is in front with 28% followed by former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at 21%. Congressman Ron Paul is a distant third at 10% followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 9%, Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann at 8%, and Texas Governor Rick Perry at 7%. The sixth place finish for Perry is a sharp decline from early September when Perry was the frontrunner both nationally and in Iowa.

Hope so.

What I find interesting is how they are so sure Republicans will pick the white establishment RINO, just like McCain .

Some jumped on the idea that Cain is running for VP

It occurs to me that there is a very subtle two-part trap either falling into place by fate, or by design (doesn't really matter how) and here is how it works:

Part One - IF the GOP goes with that "white establishment RINO", you can bet your last dollar that part of the 'Rats campaign strategy will be "a good black man ran for the GOP nomination but the rich white dudes slammed the door in his face" and if that doesn't bring ALL the black voters who might have considered voting GOP back to the 'Rat Plantation, nothing will.

Part Two - IF Herman Cain were to end up as the VP candidate on the GOP ticket, the 'Rat strategy will be to incessantly scream and holler that 'Republicans wanted a black token on the ticket' while the Democrats 'already have' a black President who will be at the TOP of their ticket for the second time running.

Whether we like it or not, history has now placed the GOP into the position of being almost compelled to nominate Herman Cain because if they do NOT nominate him?

There will be a new meaning for the phrase "The Mark of Cain" and the GOP will wear that label for a generation, and will be branded (unfairly) a racist political party and that will be the new mantra used by the 'Rats and their MSM allies to hammer Republicans for years to come.

Does anyone “run for VP”?

Few running mates are vanquished primary opponents of the winner.

Biden, Edwards, Bush 1, LBJ.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I agree.

I think you should send this opinion to Cain’s website.

Dont forget the four year Democrat theme that Republicans spent ‘.... years’ trying to stop Obama from succeeding and blocking him and trying to make him look bad, opposing policies that ‘they once supported’ (usually its some RINO like McCain ) just because he is black....that Obama inheriting an economy in a death spiral and he pulled it out of the ditch and proposed bipartisan proposals to fix it that were very popular but blocked just to make him look bad.....

Putting an Obama-light whiter-than-white liberal rich phony like Romney up against Obama is just what Dems expect and want. Putting up Cain especially if he keeps holding to such concervative positions and does well in the later debates would really make an interesting race for us screwing up their racial themes.

On a more interesting note this one lib racial grievance 'scholar+expert' Melissa Harris-Perry who works for MSNBC (a favorite on Sharpton and Maddow’s shows on racial grievances) accuses white liberals of being racist for abandoning Obama showing a possible fracture over there.

She also joined A Sharpton on the O Donnell show to bless him for attacking Cain in that interview,

Let me ask this question: which post would be in a better position to reestablish the gold or precious metal or some other standard for the dollar? THAT's where I'd like to see Ron Paul.

President.

[mikhailovich]

Cain is out there appearing on every tv show because he has no other means on the ground to run a campaign. Let's hope it works out for him. I think you folks are propping up Romney's VP pick in an act of foolishness.

We'll see who is right.

[mkjessup]

"I think kneejerk"

There ya go, fixed that right up for ya, no charge.

We'll see who is right

I guarantee it ain't you or your fellow naysayers.

The 2nd Tier candidates have significant combined conservative support of 27% support, which is support that will likely go to Cain, when those candidates drop out of their campaigns.

Yes but that 1% that Huntsman commands will go to Romney.
