The Poll is absolute rubbish. The notion that Herman Cain has a 20 point lead is ridiculous. Who did Zogby Poll, Herman Cain supporters? None of this is important until they start the Primaries. That's what counts.

Look the reason Cain is doing well is because he's not hedging his bets. He goes all out and says what the other candidates are afraid to say. He simply isn't afraid to attack the protesters the way the other candidates are. He's not afraid of the Media. Being black, he can attack black attitudes in a way the other candidates are afraid to do for fear of being labeled as racist. This fearlessness is resonating with many.

Lawrence O’Donnell has had to have his head taped back together so many times, he has the parts numbered to speed the cosmetic reassembly. But they keep on stuffing the same old tired cliches and bromides back in there too, so the repeated activity of propping O’Donnell back up as a talking head is an exercise in futility.

Wrong mutiny. That’s the Bounty.

Not sure how I’d translate this into Caine Mutiny imagery, although Obama should be nervously fiddling with some ball bearings about now.

I usually spell that word with a B instead of a W, but I guess there may be different spellings in different parts of the country. Regional dialect I guess.

I put no faith in these Zogby online polls.

Previous Zogby IBOPE polls have had Michelle Bachmann leading with 39% as well as Ron Paul leading with 35% (and John Huntsman Jr. trailing Paul at 30%). How are they doing today?

There's no doubt Cain is the current "flavor of the week" (as Perry, Bachman and even Trump have been before him) but can he sustain his poll numbers? Personally, I think he's peaked. Perry is currently raising mountains of cash. He'll be back (hopefully he spent some of this $$$ on debate coaching).

I'm trying to figure out what Zogby's motivation would be to come up with a poll that showed Cain ahead by so much.

I know he's been very unreliable, but he's hard left, so this one has me puzzled.

And this is a bad thing?

I was thinking... if the leftists keep going after Cain like they are - trying to do to him what they did to Palin, it might just backfire....I would think there would be people in the black community that would see the way people like lounge lizard Larry are treating him and be rightfully offended by it, and rebel against the left.

You can put me on Report right now, 'cause I took all the strawberrys and pitched 'em over the side.

Quite right, but Bogie’s mutiny didn’t stack up as neatly, so I had to take poetic license and resort to MMM (Mixed Mutiny Metaphor).
