Cain joins presidential race with promise to beat Obama
AJC ^ | 5/21/11 | Aaron Gould Sheinin

Posted on 05/21/2011 4:09:08 PM PDT by Kartographer

In his 20-minute speech, Cain took numerous shots at President Barack Obama, accusing the Democrat of abandoning Israel, overseeing an "anemic" economic recovery and a failure of leadership. The rhetoric delighted the crowd, many of whom waved signs with slogans like "Yes We Cain" and "How Can We Beat Obama? With a Cain."

But Cain also offered a few policy initiatives, including plans to permanently extend the Bush-era tax cuts and to pursue an independent energy policy.

Most recent Gallup shows Palin the Most Famous and the Most Popular Republican on the Presidential list.

Sorry, no. She is the most famous, but Herman Cain as the most postive intensity.

Palin has become a very unpopular in Florida. I don’t believe she could carry the State in a Presidential election.

Strangely enough, it’s the women conservatives that don’t like her.

JMO.

what’s “positive intensity”?

The point of all these new and confusing “scores” is to hide the fact that Palin is more popular.

22% of ALL Republicans have a Strongly Favorable opinion of Palin.

7.25% of ALL Republicans have a Strongly Favorable opinion of Cain.

Only 29% of Republicans had any opinion at all of Cain.
Of that 29%, 25% had a Strongly Favorable opinion of Cain.
That .29 x 25 = 7.25%

If Cain was as well known as Gingrich (84%), and he remained as popular as now, including almost all Republicans, not just debate watchers hoping to find someone to bring it to Obama, he would still be below Palin in terms of numbers of Republicans with a strongly favorable opinion.

Palin - 96% x 23 = 22.06% of All Republicans Strongly Approve
Cain (if he gets as famous as Gingrich) 84% x 25 = 21% of All Republicans Strongly Approve.

Anybody else see the problems everybody else but Palin is likely to have?

Yeah, big difference!

But we’ve now degenerated so far that it’s what we ain’t that’s important!

The schools have indoctrinated us to socialism/marxism..

Hollyweird has perverted us...

The Fourth Estate has robbed us of an effective media...(now replaced by internet)

And the first three branches of gubmint have all sold us out...

On and on...

By 2012 a Kangaroo could beat Obama. His policy is catching up to him and even his vaunted MSM Guard won’t be able to help.

Right.

I’m saying that only 5 Republicans are capable of winning the Republican Nomination, because Republicans have never picked someone unknown. And only 5 Republicans are well known enough, able to make a legitimate case that they’re the top republican.

Herman was on the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, and that he was subsequently elected their chairman, anyone that reads his bio can learn it, but it’s not what many especially Paulist want to make it out to be.

The Federal Reserve Banks do not set monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Banks do provide financial services to depository institutions including banks, credit unions, and savings and loans, much like those that banks provide for their customers. These services include collecting checks, electronically transferring funds, and distributing and receiving cash and coin.

He can’t make a promise like that. That’s insane. A president doesn’t have the power to make unilateral decisions like that.

Amen! I am so sick of the ‘inside the beltway boys’ who are always looking after themselves instead of us.

They must not have polled the State of Florida.

Palin is not popular here at all. In fact she is seen as been very polarizing.

Yeah - and that’s the most used, thus overused, response on FR to those who won’t willingly agree.

Cain is not know by most Republicans.

Palin is known and I’d say based on that, 22% Favorability isn’t going to win any Presidency for her.

What is popular is the word polarizing - the liberal media uses it and it's a talking point with it's minions when referring to Sarah. And it's lands up here on a conservative site. Who woulda thunk!
