LOL, nice try.

There were several news articles the morning that email came out on Cain leading the Rasmussen poll — I know because I read it in several places.

Apparently Rasmussen put up the wrong poll for a short time and then corrected it.

A lot of people had to backtrack on that information, and this was not the campaign’s fault.

Maybe you need reminding of your own words, when talking about Gingrich’s amnesty stance:

“You all realize that there is no perfect candidate on that stage? They all have warts. At the end of the day the chosen candidate will be a compromise.”

I've seen no evidence that Rasmussen was the source of this error. The source of the error was presumably a faulty Newsmax article.

The initial feed came from newsmax, and the othercain dude that is talked about in the article said that he checked the actual release from Rasmussen and it was identical to what Newsmax put out. He even made the initial mistake too.

It's NEVER the campaign's fault.

This wasn't Rasmussen's fault. It appears to have been a transcription error at NewsMax -- they left a paragraph in from an article about the November 2nd Rasmussen poll when they posted their article about Rasmussen's November 20th poll.

The Cain team apparently doesn't subscribe to Rasmussen, and so they didn't have the Rasmussen poll information, and just went off what NewsMax said.

Other "news articles" were just blogs either reporting the Newsmax information, or more often were reporting the e-mail information from the Cain campaign as if it was news.

This isn't the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time that the Cain team has used bad internet information and taken bad action based on it. This is a serious problem for a person who wants to be President -- acting on faulty information leads you to disastrous results when you command a military.

But just keep going on making excuses for why the Cain Campaign seems to suffer from things that no other campaign seems to suffer from.
