Cain checks in as the first choice of 27 percent of Republican voters in the poll,

Let's apply Rush Limbaugh's brilliant logic to this. 27 percent support means Cain has been rejected by the vast majority of Republicans, 73 percent to be exact. That's right. Three of every four Republicans polled reject Cain out of hand--do not want him to be president and will not support him.

Hey. It's not my logic. It's the great El Rushbo's.

Aside from all that, I no longer have any interest at all in supporting Cain. He is completely unserious and his 9-9-9 plan is a joke without a punchline.

I wish Santorum could get some traction. He saw the ridiculousness of Cain's 9-9-9 plan yesterday and called Cain on it. Cain had no real rebuttal.

I like Rick Santorum, but his objection was simple defeatism.

Leaders lead, they don't just put their fingers to the wind and say, "okay, I give up." That's not the way Reagan operated, and it does not appear to be the way Cain operates.

As to your other point, the logical way to analyze the polls is to add the conservative candidates and the RINO candidates together and measure the support. That is why Rush is saying Romney, i.e. the RINO support, appears to be hitting a ceiling.

As other conservative candidates drop out, their supporters will tend to go to other conservatives.

In polling, Cain is listed as the most popular #2 pick by the supporters of the other candidates.

The real danger to a conservative candidate winning is a zombie candidate like Perry being propelled forward on nothing but his money and core Texas supporters for month after month without dropping out.

By that logic, 77% reject”out of hand” Romney and 84% “out of hand” reject Perry.

Just crazy to say that if 27% support someone then that means 73% will never vote for him, ever. It just means 73% (divided by, what?, 7 other candidates?) have a different 1st choice.

Not sure everyone who says the plan is ridiculous actually has a clue about the 999 plan.

I mean I am no expert but if you spent 100% of the money you earned you would have an effective tax rate of 18%, 9+9. The other 9 is on businesses that are currently paying something WAY more than that.

Now on the fact of us ever getting it, who knows, but it has gotten everyone talking about it.

Rush owns Perry because he urged him to run in the first place. I initially thought, based on Rush's input, that Perry was the man until he came out with his position on illegals being able to attend state colleges....then adding that conservatives that support this are heartless.

Rushbo is wrong on Perry and I wish he would man up to it!

And Santorum? Like everyone else, no other candidate had a plan and then he does his childlike 000 plan. That's not President material in my mind. The main thing that Santorum finds ridiculous about Cain is that, “It Should Have Been Me”.
