Just damn
McClatchy ............
Based on prior poll threads here they must have done quite a bit of recutting and tinkering with that to achieve their desired result.
Marist poll? Support for other polls, but not one I am dying to get my hands on as a primary indicator.
This is the first time in my life I’ve ever even read the phrase “McClatchy-Marist poll”.
Newt is a good debater, but how do we know he’s not going to whimp out against Obama like he did with John Kerry when they debated on “climate change”.

The GoP always loves to try and return to the past..
Hasn’t worked very well before, imo..
without the right cast of characters in place
It’s likely to be a fail again. jmo
Beats me how Politicos&Pundits can sound so brilliant one sec and a blooming idiot the next..
Isn’t Romney always around 20-23%. Doesn’t seem like his numbers ever change but everyone else is bouncing all around.
I read it as McClatchy-Marxist poll.
From CBS (via Drudge)
In the Republican race for the presidential nomination, Newt Gingrich’s support continues to slowly grow, and he is now tied with Mitt Romney for second place, while Herman Cain just edges both of them out for the top spot:
and Yes, one should keep in mind it is from Big Red’ Internationale’s presses
Wait till they go nuts over the fact that he peed in his backyard when he was 15.
Two minutes hate coming up, and meanwhile, O skated, and skated, and skated...
Yeah, 300 something Republicans and Independents who ARE NOT LIKELY VOTERS is a great poll </sarcasm>.
Who?
This worries me. People have to stick to either Cain or newt. Splitting them = Romney = Obama for 4 more.
People are falling for the Alinsky tactic of “make enough fake smoke. The voters will be Sure there is fire.”.
I prefer Cain. Let’s keep him at the top no matter what, unless they have videos of him showering with little boys. Newt would be better at veep or cabinet member. We know all that newt has done that isn’t right.
Which direction does the 17% undecided sway? Conservative votes are spread around too much. Need Polls to show who are people’s second choices.
I wish Mr. Cain would take the lie detector test on live TV concurrently with the accusers also wired up, on a question by question basis. A scoreboard can show the results.
That way the media can stfu and eat s at the same time.
