Also, a FR discussion of the Redstate poll is here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2642513/posts

Seems that although many of us Cain fans support Gov. Palin, many of her supporters did a pretty good job of trashing Mr. Cain. To me, that's a shame, they are both relentlessly and tirelessly fighting the good fight for conservatism across the country.

“So don’t sleep on Herman Cain, I guess.”

******************************************

What does the author mean by that?

Mr. Cain makes too much sense which makes it that much harder to even be considered by a political bureaucracy, er, party.

[dforest]

I don’t put much stock in polls before candidates declare. I will say the more the merrier.

[Servant of the Cross]

Dennis Kucinich?! Hahaha. That sounds like something Mitt Romney would send his stooges out to say about a potential POTUS competitor.

The conservative cause will be WELL served if Herman Cain is 2012's Mike 'Huckabee' in Iowa. Herman forever, Huckster never (again).

[dangus]

A front-runner to be a meaningless also-ran???

Herman Cain is a great man. Hopefully we can find something much more meaningful for him to be than 2012’s Alan Keyes.

[snarkbait]

Aren’t we a bit sick of ‘politico’ thinking they’re some kind of important?

I listen to Herman every chance I get, and he's a good Conservative guy with lots of fire in him for what's right.

However - being brutally honest - barack obama has kind of messed things up for the concept of a black president. Obama is totaly incompetent and I don't think there is quite enough support or name recognition for Cain to overcome the stigma that the kenyan has created.

Those who know Herman and listen to him will be inclined to support him, I'm sure, but that might be just enough voters to cause a version of "third party meltdown" to insure that the dems would win.

Also, many will vote for him as a "replacement" for obama, based solely on racial reasons, further dilution of the vote.

And lastly - with the mass panic among the country club set of RINO's against Palin, I don't think they want anyone but some other country clubber like Romney, so there will be that battle to fight as well.

Whatever the case, he'll have to work awfully hard to get the name recognition needed to make the National stage - he's got one hell of a following here around Atlanta, but Atlanta isn't America...lots of opinions out there across the fruited plains.

I like Herman Cain almost as much as I like Sarah Palin. Either would make a great POTUS. But the truth of the matter is that the redstate poll is crap.

Potential primary candidates are not seeded in one on one match-ups like NFL teams before a Super Bowl playoff.

Godawful candidates can and do win because there is overemphasis on pissant state like Iowa and New Hampshire, there is overemphasis on the news media filter and too many syncopatic voters who follow their advice. Juan McCain is Exhibit A.

I'm glad that the primary season has been spread out a little more for 2012, but it is still heavily front-loaded.

Last, but not least, Herman Cain lost a Republican primary in George for U.S. Senator. He's a good man and very successful businessman. But you need a strong organization and desire to even make it through the first three states-- Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. So far, I see no evidence that Herman Cain has either the organization or the desire necessary.

[truthguy]

Why doesn't Cain run for the US House, the US Senate, or governor of Georgia first? Please no more political novices. We need people with a proven track record of VOTING conservative. We should have learned our lesson on this.

[FreedomPoster]

I still have my Herman Cain pin from the 2004 Senate primary. We missed a real opportunity there.
