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 would say that the teaparty debates are goint to remove Republocan hopefuls who opt not to participate from the field in fairly short order. Newt, with all his baggage also got a boost.
Romney certainly does not and will not resonate in SC. This is a right to work state, people here are ashamed to take handouts and Romneycare scares the hell out of us. This is pretty much the pattern in the South.
Google News “Cain scandal” and there are, what, 11,000 returns??
11,000 headlines from the Propaganda Mill and not one with a story to back it up.
Gingrich in 2016---- Herman can retire and enjoy some rest.
Cain/Gingrich 2012, Gingrich/Ryan 2016, Ryan/West 2020 and 2024 and West/? in 2028 and 2032. GOD, I’ll be by then!
Ron Paul cheats. His supporters come in from outside areas. I witnessed this for myself in Cobb County, Ga.
“The allegations again him have propelled him to a commanding win.”
In spite of the FNS Sunday bunch proclaiming Cain is the new name for toast. Those bozos are disgusting!
Ah, nice to see Newt pick up in numbers, Perry should just quietly slink back down into Texas and get ready to defend his Texas Dream Act, cuz when Cain and Newt take the white house, I’m thinking the sanctuary states and their cities are gunna get axed, i.e., get axed to stop entreating illegals.
It is South Dakota but it is pretty clear the GOP on the ground haven’t been swayed by the attack on Cain. I love it. Excellent!
Don’t forget Romney wiped the floor with McCain last time in Michigan in an early primary Jan. 15th, the first big state. And that was pretty much it for Romeny when it came to delegates.
He was born here and his father was a popular governor here years ago.
Next year our primary is Feb. 28th, still early.
MI hasn’t been important in a POTUS election since Bush Sr. won.
Only reason I’m pointing this out is that MI has swung totally red, no democrat holds any power beyond county.
The MI GOP has the governorship, the legislature, the senate, the state supreme court, attorney general, sec. of state and on down the list and a lot of people haven’t realized this yet-
Fat Deb Stabacow has not much of a chance - just as WI turned out Feingold and elected Scott Walker the entire upper Midwest has gone completely red, except IL of course.
If Romney does NOT win MI it is the end of his campaign and he knows it.
Fun Fact:
Straw poll victories to date: Cain: 13 Romney: 4 Bachmann: 1 Santorum: 1 Gingrich: 0 Perry: 0
Serious Fact:
Mitt Romney was pro-abortion rights for longer than Rachel Maddow has been pro-abortion rights.
I like the way you think. ;>)

I ride a Harley and have for many years. I’d just laugh at him and call him a poser.
Yep those outrageous false accusations have really hurt Cain!
>> “Maybe Perry can join up with N. Texas donkeys and have one more glorious ride....” <<

They could put him at the rear with a shovel...
