Very strange snafu ...

[mriguy67]

its called a write in vote

[cripplecreek]

Also known as the .5% vote.

I believe the meme against Cain when he messes up is that he is not ready to be president.

[Popman]

Wow...pretty big mistake.....makes one wonder about his campaign management

If he can’t got his own name on the ballot ....where there is smoke there is fire

[MestaMachine]

He forgot to zip his fly? Goodness. That’s just embarrassing.

[1010RD]

There’s an argument here in favor of organizational proficiency. Is anyone really running for President or are they all just place holding for Romney’s eventual ascendancy.

This is totally amateur. Day one you insure you’re on the ballots.

[STARWISE]

I know .. and no delegates result from that
primary, but still I would think a momentum
diffuser that an earnest candidate would
avoid.

Hope he gets registered in the remaining 56 states. ;-)

I heard that Herman Cain won all the MO Tea Party straw polls. Go Herman Cain!

[cripplecreek]

I’m glad to see that Herman Cain hasn’t written off Michigan is it seems to be traditional to do.

[Paperdoll]

Every big of the ‘meme’ about Cain is because the Obama owned media is scared to death that can beat Obama, that’s what all the ‘meme’ is about.

[smokingfrog]

Doesn’t sound like Newt is very serious about becoming the president, does it?

[TexasFreeper2009]

so which is worse... pausing for a few seconds before answering a foreign policy question... or forgetting to actually get on the ballot in one of the US states?

[icwhatudo]

TBBT?

[Paperdoll]

Oh, CC, he wouldn’t do that just because Mitt’s dad was governor of Michigan at one time. He’s not afraid to tred where angels fear to tred, because the angels are tredding with Herman Cain. :o)

[PghBaldy]

The first one. The candidates themselves don’t actually file, they have people that are supposed to do that.

[STARWISE]

LOL ...

[cripplecreek]

The Romney spell is wearing off as the old timers die off. He still has the GOP elites in the state but we little people noticed that Mitt stepped over the people on his way to the cash register.

Herman Cain spent a couple days talking to the people.

[Huck]

Yeah, but he’s such a good debater. lol. Looks like the genius couldn’t get into a flea market for the paperwork involved.
