2012 Iowa Republican Caucus (Cain 28% Romney 21% Paul 10%)
Rasmussen ^ | 10/20/11 | Rasmussen

Thursday, October 20, 2011

Reflecting national trends, businessman Herman Cain has now jumped to the front of the Republican pack in Iowa.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Iowa caucus-goers shows that Cain is in front with 28% followed by former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at 21%. Congressman Ron Paul is a distant third at 10% followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 9%, Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann at 8%, and Texas Governor Rick Perry at 7%. The sixth place finish for Perry is a sharp decline from early September when Perry was the frontrunner both nationally and in Iowa.

>> “He also will not likely to pull in legal Hispanic votes either after his comments about an electric fence killing those who try to cross.” <<

.
That would presume that the legal hispanics are as stupid and ignorant as you apparently are.

I’m betting they are not; electric fences do not have the capacity to kill; if they did, they would be illegal. I’m confident that those hispanics are way more savvy than you, and are well aware of that fact.

Troll on!

You are evidently unaware of how legal Hispanics consider illegals. Every poll has shown legal Hispanics in favor of securing the border by 60/40-65/35 margins. My neighbors certainly confirm the attitude.

It is the radical (and vocal) Hispanic left that is pushing the illegal cause. Not the vast bulk of American citizens of Hispanic extraction.

How about allowing parents to teach children about abstinence rather than having the state promote shooting up our children with drugs. It is unseemly.

What a coincidence! I was just thinking about our mutual friends, you remember that family from Prague visiting the National Zoo in Washington back in the 90's? Their little boy wandered away, and suddenly the zoo officials noticed that the twin Bengal tigers were NOT hungry, and they both looked rather distended ... fearing the worst they tranquilized both tigers, the mother AND the father cat, and took them to the nearest hospital, where the surgeon said "we don't have time to x-ray each tiger to see if the kid is inside, he's running out of air, open up the father tiger, the kid is in his belly"

They sliced open the father Bengal tiger and sure enough, the little boy was inside, and barely alive, but he made it.

Then the inevitable question was asked of the surgeon, "how did you know the boy was in the father Bengal tiger?"

The surgeon said "after this many years in medicine, let me tell you, the czech is always in the male".

(I'll write you a 'czech' this afternoon lol)

I’m envisioning a creature with 27 wings. It's lunchtime on the West Coast, and I'm just a mile from Godfather's Pizza. I'll order and split your 27 wings 9-9-9.

” Ronald Reagan understood that if the federal government could get out of the way, that the magnificent American industrial base could do what it was meant to do, which is to outperform any and every other economic system on the planet. Reagan was never for ‘free trade’, he was for FAIR trade which is the critical difference, and my view of Herman Cain is that he shares that same perspective. “

Cain is the only viable candidate at this juncture who I can vote for. Politics makes “ strange bedfellows : : )

Hope you are for Cain too!

He was my #2 candidate, now is my #1. No one else comes close. It's a shame about Gingrich's baggage, he's fun to listen to, but I have a long memory of his idiocy.

My brother is one of Cain's advisors.

I talked to another liberal at the gym, one I usually argue with. He said that Republicans will pick Romney and then Obama will beat him(Romney). That is the fourth one to tell me that in the past two weeks.

Cain and Newt bring alot to the debate and the greater conversation. Newt has many many ideas, Cain obviously has problem solving skills. I hope they both survive past Super Tuesday March 6th.

Those liberals sound like they're whistling past the graveyard, because I believe that by the time the convention gets underway next year that Mitt-Witt will have followed in the footsteps of his wild and crazy Daddy back in '68, and withdrawn from the race, and that Herman Cain will be all but unstoppable.
