Dozens of people gathered at the Sioux Falls Convention Center Saturday night for a straw poll.
The event is being put on by the South Dakota Republican Party.
Voters could pick one of the 8 republican candidates.
Tickets were $25.
Herman Cain won the poll coming in with 35% of the votes. Newt Gingrich 23%. Mitt Romney 20%. Rick Perry 7%. Ron Paul 5%. Michele Bachmann 4%. Rick Santorum 3% and Jon Huntsman 0%.
I’m not a math major or a rocket science like Herman Cain but I think this adds up to over 50%:
Herman Cain 35% of the votes. Newt Gingrich 23%
Jon Huntsman 0%.
What was Junior Hunts saying again this morning on national tv about Herman?
He might want to start that comeback soon. The graph of his polling is on a steady downward slant. Extrapolated out, it ought to be at or near zero in 58 days when the first ballots are cast.
LMAO!!!
I like it!
A big 7%...WOW!!! His ILLEGAL lovin’ toadies will tell us all he is still has a chance though and to not count LaRaza ricky out just yet!
.... Mitt would have to get a tattoo at the Harley Ride in NH to get my attention.....
Wouldn’t that be great?!
But that was expected.
Newt polled ahead of Romney. lol!
Maybe Perry can join up with N. Texas donkeys and have one more glorious ride....
Another way of looking at it, the “Tag Team”, Herman and Newt took 58% of the vote!
Reuse, recycle - it will be the “green” ticket.
Yes but Romney’s still ahead in the polls according to the Lamestreams and GOP elites. This is all just political jockeying nuance dontchyaknow..... (;
I don’t think Newt wins the general election under any plausible scenario. I still have issues with Cain but he is the best of the bunch so far.
lol!
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the LORD.
Paul seems to always win the FudgePAC straw polls at any rate.
Heck, I have issues with every candidate. But I agree, Cain is the best chance we have of keeping Mitt Romney out of the White House.
I just watched those smug faced elites with Chris Wallace/Fox pontificate how Herman Cain will not get the nomination....
Pigot-(oops, Gigot) from WSJ....super smirky Bill Kristol.....Evan Bayh....Wallace....put down Cain ....
No wonder Cain's wife refused to grace them with her appearance on Greta...
..they're all a pack of hyenas!
Thank you.
The only comment I can make on your post to me is that I believe there is one establishment, not two. the Establishment is the puppet master behind both parties. It has been there for many decades, and they would hate to see all of their hard work in destroying the country go for naught. But I think the American giant has at last awakened, and will not take no for an answer.
Go Herman Cain! And thank You, Lord.
