Businessman Herman Cain is now atop the field of Republican White House hopefuls, squeaking past former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the latest CBS News/New York Times poll.

Cain garnered 25 percent support of Republican primary voters in the poll released Tuesday, compared to Romney's 21 percent.

In early October, the two men were tied at 17 percent.

The difference between you and Cain is stark. You’re afraid of saying what you believe because you might fail. Cain says what he believes because he believes he’s right.

LMAO! Clearly, you don't know me.

If you’re suggesting that Cain constrain himself to saying only things the media will not distort or otherwise lie about the man might just as well sit in the corner and keep his mouth shut.

See, you wasted all that time typing that post, based on the wrong assumption. I NEVER said or implied Cain shouldn't speak out. I'm saying he should be CLEAR as to his meaning, the FIRST time... so he doesn't have to walk it back and clarify it a SECOND time. Having to continually clean up earlier statements makes him look indecisive and muddled. I don't have to be convinced of his convictions, but the mushy middle and "independent" portion of the electorate does.

Got it?

And FYI, I'm a supporter of and donor to Cain's candidacy.

Both are bad but Obama’s on a different level. He HAS to lose.

I just read a bio on Mittens and he's a business turn around artist, so you're right, it can't be all bad because turning America around is what we need. Herman Cain is also a turn around artist, not blue blood but more likable. Mittens has made more money than he knows what to do with so that has lost it's motivation value to him. The next step once someone is rich is power and politics. A big problem though is the privileged rich white man that has laid off others to make money is going to stir envy, among all leftists but also the important swing voters. The affirmative action man is going to play victim and blame the white man, which works. It's going to be a very tough win if Mittens is the nominee.

Barky is just a puppet, an actor that can't remember his lines so needs dual TelePrompTers at all times. The continuing failure of the economy is because of his evil Marxist puppet masters, not the Marxist useful idiot. If Barky replaces his string pulling team he's effectively a new President. The second 4 years would likely be more Clinton, less Marx.

On a personal level Barky is more likable than Mittens. Cain is more likable. Mittens is the backstabbing brown nosing prick we've all had to work with at one time or another. I'm really worried he's going to blow this sale just like McCain and Dole. Mittens was not successful converting any French into Mormons. Even though that was a difficult task, it shows making the sale to the common folk is not his strong suit.

If 2010 taught us anything it’s that the era of the smarmy say-anything-to-get-elected politician is in the decline. I think you hit the nail on the head when you called Mitt the backstabbing, brown nosed prick we’ve all had to work with. That’s exactly who he is - as long as you work at a used car dealership.

And as bad as he is, if he’s the nominee, I’ll be pulling the lever for him. Obama HAS to lose.

Seems suspicious. Why would these Marxists release a poll showing Cain on top?

Hmmm... I'll take a stab at it... how about, because Cain's on top?

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

How can this be? James Carville said that Cain is a “salesman” not a politician and has no chance at all.
