Cains support may “surge” from 1 to 2%
lol
9, 9, 9.
So they polled the delegates before the real poll.
Totally meaningless.
I love Herman Cain.
At this point of time in 2007 the top two candidates were Huckabee and Fred Thompson and there was no serious thought that McCain could push others aside including Romney and move into the top 2 spots. If you are going to be a political junkie and follow this stuff day in and day out you have to have a lot of patience and perseverance.
Loved the vintage vid of Cain smacking down Slick Willy on nationalized healthcare...and this was over HillaryCare in the ‘90s!!
There’s no scientific polling, but talks with dozens of delegates who will vote in today’s Florida straw poll suggest that many are making last-minute decisions to vote for Herman Cain.
THANK YOU GOD!!!! My prayers are being answered. Yes Palin is my first choice but to have a REAL conservative win this thing would be incredible.
Cain is my first choice of the declared candidates but I am realistic that much of politics now is media and marketing and he needs to make some major moves before he can overcome that roadblock.
I like Cain - he has interesting ideas and I don’t think he’d be swayed by politics as usual.
Herman Cain is the best candidate on the stage the other night. He has my support. I like him politically far better than Perry, Romney and Bachman put together.
I have yet to see a good argument against the man. Not one. Yet for some reason he is second tier. Are we going to let the rew rich GOP donors choose our candidates? Really??
I thin we should be backing Cain with all we have, the man would kick Obama’s ass so bad he would bever be able to sit again.
From Wikipedia:
" Cain was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on December 13, 1945, the son of Lenora (née Davis) and Luther Cain, Jr.[5][6] His mother was a cleaner and his father was a janitor, a barber, and a chauffeur.[3] He was raised in Georgia.[7]
He graduated from Morehouse College in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics and received a Master of Science degree in computer science from Purdue University in 1971,[8] while he was also working full-time in ballistics for the U.S. Department of the Navy.
Cain has authored four books: Leadership is Common Sense (1997), Speak as a Leader (1999), CEO of SELF (October 2001), and They Think You're Stupid (May 2005). He also authored an article titled "The Intangibles of Implementation" in the technical journal Interfaces (Vol. 9, No. 5, 1979, pp. 144-147), published by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS)."
Herman Cain won that debate. I don’t care what the pundits say. Actually, they don’t say much about Herman Cain...they acknowledge he was there and move on to the Perry/Romney saga as if that is all there is.
I think Cain has an incredible trust factor working for him. Based on his debate performances, interviews and background I have less wariness about him than I do the rest of the people on that stage (and politicians in general). I know he doesn’t have a lot of political experience, but based on his attitude I am confident if he doesn’t know the answer he will find someone who does. That is what businessmen do.
Right now, I am planning on voting for him hear in Georgia. That might change in time, but he was more relaxed and smoother in this last debate than he had been, and most of the others - especially the too leaders - make we feel a little noxious.
We really need a meteor candidate. (NOT RHINO CHRIS CHRISTY)
For all of those who love Romney and think the debates show he is our best candidate, I have to say that IMHO debating well does not a good president make. We have ample, if not daily, example of this. Romney is backing out of more things than he is supporting as far as small government, tea party ideals, family issues, etc. He seems to think that just denying things, whether true, or not, is enough to get the hounds off his tail. Well, I am glad that many writers are pointing out the obvious, that he may seem cool and collected in the Republican debates but he will fail at any debate with Obama. Obama will be able to show how much alike the two are and the Republicans will stay home on election day rather than vote for a white Obama.
Get on board the Cain Train!
I’m sure Hermain Cain wasn’t an expert on how to make a pizza, but did that stop him from being CEO of Godfather’s Pizza?
An executive knows to surround himself with good people. That’s why I don’t worry about his lack of political experience.
One yhing I like about Cain is that he focused on Obama and never bothers tocriticize the other GOP candidates, but efficiently uses evry meager second of microphone time to speak his ideas and principles in a positive fashion.
I have to admit, I have assumed that a guy with no political office-holding experience was a very big negative. I’m looking again on him.
