Several things I notice:
1) 3 NATIONAL POLLS ( WSJ/NBC, PPP and now Rasmussen ) CONSISTENLY show Herman Cain nearing the 1/3 mark.
It remains to be seen whether he can sustain this. His 9-9-9 will be receiving SUSTAINED attack BOTH from Liberals AND Conservatives.
2) Romney was stuck at the 23 to 25% level for months but seems to have broken off and now reaching towards 29%. This could mean that those still hoping for a Christie run are moving towards him as the alternative ( now that the fat one has endorsed him ).
3) Newt Gingrich seems to be on the rise as well. Might be VP material. If Cain wins and he wants Newt as VP, Newt might have to officially shift his residency from Georgia to the Virginia/DC area ( where he spends most of his time anyway ). can’t have two Georgians running in tandem.
Good points. I am concerned how far away from the primaries we are; it would not be surprising if Cain were to drop down at some point.
The election is still quite fluid at this point and ANYTHING could happen.
Heck, Perry could even regain the top.
I wish Cain the best. I never, ever, ever, ever imagined he would be in the lead AT ANY POINT in the election, but it makes me elated. That’s why I never was a backer of his until now despite loving the guy.
He’ll need to work on getting more plans for things since 999 is his centerpiece basically, but other than that, he’s a good candidate.
A refreshing option to have a real outsider!
He may not have political experience, but you know what...he actually ran successful companies. That’s more than Obama did besides become a legislator. I don’t see his lack of political experience as an issue.
