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.
Don’t fall for the disinformation about Cain these days. They are really ramping it up against him, full court press. They are desperately trying to attack him to peel way his Conservative and Tea Party base if they can and drive internecine GOP wedges, because above all people it is GOVERNOR ROMNEY (just like JOHN MCCAIN 2008) whom they want in as a shill in a fixed 2012 race to face off against. We gotta stay the course, donate, phone call, e mail or call neighbors or friends, build a ground force in Iowa, New Hampshire, S. Carolina, Florida, Nevada and elsewhere and keep the momentum, all the while speaking no evil of fellow conservatives in the race, as they are NOT our enemy but rather decent, good Patriots, and we will also need their supporters as they drop out one by one. Stay the Cain Course!!!! We are over the target, we are getting the Drive By Media surface to air missiles as was to be expected with the coveted Conservative Frontrunner status. That just the cost of it. Spiritually, surrender in faith and give it to God, and tactically, keep thinking Gandhi and will will get over this hump once they have a) ignored, b) ridiculed and c) attacked. It is the most difficult time right now, as will be late October when they are again full court press to keep Obama in office and prevent Cain from the White House.

Hermentum continues: Cain leads Ohio and HAWAII primaries
Raleigh, N.C. – The Republican presidential race is very much nationalized right now, with very few regional or state-by-state differences. Rick Perry is really cratering everywhere, and Herman Cain has led comfortably in every PPP primary poll in the last two weeks, first in rural, right-leaning states like North Carolina, West Virginia, and Nebraska, then Iowa and nationally, and now joined by states as distant and different as Ohio and Hawaii. Mitt Romney’s one true stronghold remains New England. Newt Gingrich is also on the rise, though not to the extent that Cain is.

I sure hope the Republican establishment is forced to
hold their noses and support Cain when he is the nominee.
Just like Ronald Reagan.
This is big news in that it is confirming many other polls showing Cain leading in key states like Iowa, SCarolina, Floria (where he either leads or is tied), Nebraska...and a strong 2nd showing in NHampshire.
“Two things are striking in the new Poll:
1) Cain continues to surge, now showing separation from Romney
2) 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.
This poll supports recent polling that have shown Cain increasing leads nationally and in key states. Here.
So, Cain is setting in strong position and his consistent intensity levels indicate he my be even stronger than he appears. The biggest caveat is the lack of an organization that will get the Caucus vote out in Iowa. Cain needs to expand his staff to meet the needs of his national popularity and he needs to capitalize on Iowa, because a win there will bring in more financial contributions and begin sifting off supporters of the 2nd tier candidates.

Pinging the Cain Train! - (News Links at post #2 :-)
AmeriCain!
It tells me that Huckabee had great grassroots support on the ground. Looks like Cain does too.
Cain is also leading in SC and tied in FL. Huckabee never was.
:-)
But nearly all of the oundits say he can’t possibly win.
Don’t you just love it when Americans start thinking for themselves?
Slow and steady in the right direction.
Hey, maybe Haagen-Daas will even bring back Black Walnut!!!!
Cain, and his supporters here on FR, should not take it for granted that Cain is going to win Iowa or that Romney cannot win. http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/do-we-really-know-who-herman-cain-is/
Well Said!!!! We have to overcome all of it...but given those knowns, I still think it can be done.
Picturing in my mind - Herman Cain on Inauguration Day, 2013. That belief gives me hope to endure what comes before that.
This is not over, by any means. http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/do-we-really-know-who-herman-cain-is/
my wife glanced up from her newspaper at my pc screen
and laughed; she said
print that!
so now herman’s on our hallway wall with our pics of sarah palin.
According to the media, this simply means that the voters are dissatisfied with the current group of candidates.
Does this bother you? http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/do-we-really-know-who-herman-cain-is/
I don’t understand how Romney can be polling so high in Iowa....depressing. Cain is looking very very good to me.
He’s just human, but I am of the same way of thinking. I don’t need to agree with the man on everything. Go Cain!!
Kicking the establishment’s butt one poll at a time.
Can’t wait until 2012! GO CAIN GO!!!
We should run scared even though our man, Herman Cain, is now the clear GOP 2012 frontrunner. We need to run like we are going to get a royal butt kicking, like we are 20% down. I MEAN IT! RUN SCARED!! There should be an active Cain person in every possible Iowa precinct and a strong organization nationwide. The long knives are out. This comes with the territory. I have weathered politics for many years. This does not scare nor intimidate me. It is exhilarating (to be in the lead), but the trick is to not get too cocky and to also maintain that lead. I think Herman is humble enough to continue to “run scared” and so are his supporters. We need to tune out all of the disinformation, naysaying, name calling and mud slinging coming out from his detractors on this forum, and stay positive and take the high ground.
This is a very good point.
Plus, The TEA Party will go into hyper-drive supporting
Cain. There would not be many held noses in the voting
booths November 6 (other than RINOs).
