“Among the 39% who say the allegations are serious, half say it makes them less likely to support the businessman for president. “
Once Cain is nominated, they will forget about Romney and Paul.
Hannity has a poll on this too: http://www.hannity.com
Could it be that people are waking up to the media’s tricks? Please Father in heaven let it be so.
Hey you idiots in the liberal press!...WE will decide the fate of conservative candidates...NOT YOU!!
Add me to the Herman Cain support list too.

Get used to it, media schlubs.
Sooner or later some Tea Party candidate...Cain, Sarah Palin, somebody....is going to win the White House by RUNNING AGAINST YOU!
You guys are about as popular as hemorrhoids, North Korea or O.J. Simpson with most of the public.
Serious, responsible people look at the situation, at Cain's career and his background and see this for what it is: a smear, plain and simple. That's why 'GOP voters dismiss allegations' of wrongdoing lodged against Herman Cain. We've been here before and we won't be fooled again. These allegations against Herman Cain, like allegations against Republican candidates in the past, i.e. George Bush's National Guard attendance record, usually come to nothing except a big distraction for both candidate and voters.
I sent another donation this week.
That’s the “impact” these lame allegations had.
More money for Herman.
I think many people are just fed up with this political-correctness-gone-amok, where you can’t even open a door for a woman nowadays without fear of “offending her”.
It’s a bunch of BS.
Oh, no. Now they’re going to have a field day with him not knowing any better than to say 200%. Just wait. Since they couldn’t make this scandal stick, they’ll be making up more bs.
This poll seems silly to me. We still don’t really have much information on what the substance of the allegations are, so its a little premature to ask people to take a “they’re serious”/”they’re not serious” side. If more is revealed, check back then. If not, sensationalism and speculation isn’t news!
While Cain isn’t my top choice at this time (I’m leaning Newt), Cain certainly seems like a good, conservative guy, so I’m inclined to assume that they aren’t serious unless proven otherwise.
There's no detail. No names. No faces. It's little more than gossip at this point.
Even with the restaurant association waving the agreement we know nothing.
We finally got around to sending Mr Cain a donation today because of this Bull Ship...

(Page 3 of 3)
Politicians of opposing campaigns were known to get the “Warren Treatment.” He ran Bush’s 1980 campaign, in which anonymous flyers and telephone calls accused John McCain of fathering an illegitimate black child.
In 2007, he was running Mitt Romney’s campaign in South Carolina, where Mitt was behind the rest of us in the polls. Of course, when confronted, both Tompkins and Mitt were “shocked” to learn that a rogue employee (who ran Tompkins’s office) was running such a website (out of the office), and the site was taken down immediately. One of the more benign and amusing things the site accused me of was being a “flip flopper.” I kid you not.
This doesn’t mean that Mitt is behind the Herman Cain hit piece. I’d like to think that he — and his extensive staff, many of them with training in the “political dark arts” — has learned that when you hire the meanest dog in the junkyard, it’s a little difficult to claim that you are surprised when he bites.
Most of us have long since given up on adherence to Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment, but Republican candidates do enough damage to each other out in the open these days. They shouldn’t get away with peddling stuff they’re ashamed to be associated with, and that can be used later by Democrats. Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree. I hope so. Still, I’d like to know who dropped the dime on Herman.”

Have you, like me, thought that maybe a supporter of a candidate, or someone in their camp, is engaging in dirty politics, but NOT the candidate themselves? It probably happens very often.
However, Fred Thompson brings out a good point when he states: “when you hire the meanest dog in the junkyard, it’s a little difficult to claim that you are surprised when he bites.”
btw, Mark Levin alerted his listeners to Thompson’s article on his Thursday show.
