Popularity continues to increase day by day. About time that even some of his detractors start to take this man a bit more seriously.

With Palin out, conservatives are moving to Cain. Once she announced, I sent him money.

Wow. This seems too good to be true. Is it??

And in a totally unrelated story Lawrence O’Donnells head just exploded.

Poll Ping! :-)

I am backing Herman Cain all the way. I support this man to the hilt.

But how many times is this same story going to be posted? I got all excited thinking it was a different poll backing up this one.

dammit.

Cain is one of those guys that has core values, sticks to them, expresses them honestly, and tries to convince people he’s right. You can choose to vote for him or not based on whether you agree or not.

Romney, Perry, et al, are politicians. They may have core values, but they’ve been trained not to offend anyone, so they never express those core values out loud and try to “nice” as many as possible into voting for them.

Then, we get to the general. A leftist could NEVER honestly express his core values, because he’d get about 15% of the popular vote, because leftist core values are abhorrent to most decent people.

[Huck]

Now we see who the MSM wants to be our candidate.

Read this out loud to our weekend house guests. They all cheered for Cain.

Go, Herman!

True, so true! And Perry's camp has apparently gone into near total seclusion in an attempt as to figure out what next to flip-flop on in order to stem the blood gushing from their campaign. Stay tuned for the next upcoming debate to find out. Be on the look out for it.

I guess Jack Welch was right. Cain going on a book tour in the middle of the campaign was ill advised. Cain could be 50 points ahead of Milt if he stayed on the trail. LOL.

[ohioWfan]

The way that O'Donnell tried to lead Cain and accuse him of being an Uncle Tom was shameless.

I sure hope more people catch on to this leftist ploy to incriminate any conservative black as being a traitor to his or her race.

So true!

Every once in awhile, though, even the trained politicians let one of their core values slip out. Just as Perry did with the "heartless" comment.

Once this becomes a Cain-Romney contest, I think Cain wins easily. There won't be enough cross-over independents and democrats to drag Mitt over the finish line, save possibly in New Hampshire where the RINO wing holds sway.

[Ron H.]

I looked for it prior to posting. If the moderator wants to remove this one I have no problem with it. In the meantime you may want to post some those other links you are referring to.

[ohioWfan]

I think we’ve been seeing that for a long time, don’t you?

[MrB]

I believe you’ll be saved by the “four hour rule”.

Yesterday I did the Cain Scrutiny (reading about him, and especially watching his janitorial work on O'Donnell). And now I have joined the Cain Mutiny. If we want him, let's all go his site, sign up to be part of the campaign, and give him money.

Continuing with the tiresome metaphor: Obama is Captain Bligh, and a Constitutional small gov't America is Tahiti. Who will be our Fletcher Christian? We cannot afford to put the wrong man in that role or we risk not returning to Tahiti. Who stacks up best against Bligh?

I believe that Cain has the qualities, the command, the unflappable courage, and the fire in the belly, to lead this mutiny better than the others. Just picture him on deck, debating with the good captain. Could the contrast be starker? The manly, straight talking Gable versus the effeminate, duplicitous Laughton?

Wow. This seems too good to be true. Is it??

Probably. I put no faith in these Zogby online polls.

I'd love to believe him, but I don't.

Read this out loud to our weekend house guests. They all cheered for Cain.

Well according to Janeane Garafalo, your house guests are all closet racists. Watch out! LOL.

Wow. This seems too good to be true. Is it??

Sadly (sigh) I think so.

Zogby has really fallen off in the last few years. His sample sizes seem to be small and not representative of registered voters.
