Cain's Lead in Iowa Narrows, Gingrich Surges in SC (Romney Falls to Third in SC)
Real Clear Politics ^ | 11-11-11 | Caitlin Huey-Burns

Over the course of a week, Herman Cain's lead in Iowa shrunk from 15 points to four over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, according to a new Insider Advantage poll of likely Republican caucus-goers in the Hawkeye State.

Meanwhile, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich moved ahead of Romney into second place in South Carolina, according to another Insider Advantage poll released Friday....

Thank GOD- I was beginning to think Romney had changed his first name to “frontunner” the way the media have been talking about him for months.

You are NOT a ‘frontrunner’ when more than 70% of the people want someone else.

And Cain still leads Newt by 8 and just finished raising 1.26 million for his Iowa fund.

So enjoy your moment. The Cain counter attack on the Establishement machine is about to start.

haven’t stopped herman yet.

And since Newt is rising, I expect the media assault on him to begin next week.

Can't be letting Mittens slip behind too far you know.

This is going to get real ugly.

Good news on all counts. As one who has said things like “No Newts is good news” in the past I have to say I’d be proud to see him win the nomination. I’m still in Mr. Cain’s court, and I hope he continues to hold strong, but as conservatives we could do far worse than either of them.

It’s a long time til the election, and as Sarah Palin said yesterday, let’s dial back the infighting and remember who the real enemy is, and the absolute necessity of removing Barack Hussein Obama from office next November.

Newt is smart and all, but he isn’t trustworthy.

In 2007, he was one of the “era of Reagan is over guys”

He has also shown he will side with liberals in elections.

His support of Deedee Scuzzyfava a red flag.

Is that a hunch or do you have some info on that?

We're now at the moment in the Battle of the Bulge where the American forces stoped the Nazis (except, in Herman's case it's the communists and RINOs) and the counter attack's about to begin, sweeping the vermin to Hell.

You think Cain is going to sit on the $1.26 million the Iowa fund raised in 10 days?

He all ready released some really hard hitting ads in Iowa. For him to be up by 8, without making a serious effort in Iowa, is good news. The fact the Romney camp is suddenly pumping money into Iowa ads shows they are running scared.

Did you hear that Newt also bought Ragu pasta sauce instead of Prego? Get over it. Someone who has been in politics for about 40 years or so will have a long list of things that offend the most pure among us.

Reagan would not pass your test and neither would Jesus Christ. Reagan had a list too: one is he signed the most liberal abortion law in California when he was governor. No one is pure and no one is perfect.

Disturbingly deep cut into Cain’s lead.

However, I think he will pull it out. Donate to the Iowa fund...

Between now and jan 3 is a long time. Soon the super comittee will have failed and the automatic cuts are suppose to begin. That will tigger open warfare in D.C. And there is always the Euro and the Iranian nukes. Jan 3 is a long long way off, lots will happen between now and then. The candidate that can propose REAL SOLUTIONS will do well.

I heard that Cain was cracking jokes about Anita Hill today.

Geeze, this guy needs to buy a clue on how to run a campaign. He might think this is funny, but most people don’t.
