Our new national poll finds Herman Cain is the breakaway frontrunner for the 2012 Republican nomination despite the fresh disclosure that he faced sexual harassment in the 1990s.
More Republicans and independents than ever say they want Herman Cain to win the Republican nomination.
Our national scientific poll was conducted last night, two days after the Cain controversy erupted and one day after Cain emphatically denied ever committing sexual harassment.
Among Republicans, Cain tops his next closest challenger, Mitt Romney, 33%-18%. They were followed by Newt Gingrich at 17% and Rick Perry at 12%.
Independents favored Cain over Romney 30%-11%, with Ginrich at 9% and Perry at 6%.
Among Republicans and independents combined, Cain garnered 32%, Romney 15%, Gingrich 13%, and Rick Perry 9%.
The poll question: Who do you want to win the 2012 Republican presidential nomination Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, or someone else?
Our national scientific telephone survey was conducted November 1, 2011. We interviewed 1,032 registered voters 417 Republicans (margin of error +/- 5%) and 343 independents (margin of error +/- 5%). The combined tally of 760 Republicans and independents has a margin of error of +/- 4%.

There are evil forces at work here. If Obama wins again, might as well change name to USSA he will continue with his edicts till he ruins america totally.

GOod point. Cain will never match Newt on Foreign Policy, the man is an encyclopedia, but he is getting briefings and he is a quick study. His answers on O’Reilly last night about Iran were as astute as any other candidate I’ve seen:
He has a strong foreign policy team:
Cato, nice signature text :) “Herminator 2 & Judgment Day 2012?” :) I like that :)
Woo hoo! Look at that perry uptick. So excited.
What’s an Aegis cruiser? Anyone? Teaspoon deep or all air and no balloon. Obama by 10 if Cain’s it.
Am I correct in this, that she had, I thought, 400+ classified FBI files in her possession (G%* knows how) and only surrendered them on compulsion and with the excuse that she didn't know she had them at all.
If true, THAT alone ought to keep both her and her loser ‘husband’ out the WH for good and all!!
I would like to agree with you, but it is Gov. Perry's followers who have been in full on attack mode. Last night referring to his attacks on Herman Cain, bullypulpit told me,
“When youre going to get shot at on a bomb run, you dont drop half the payload. You drip every freakin one of the Mk-117s you have. And I aint done yet. Enjoy the show.”
Admittedly, alcohol may have been fueling his bravado, but if you read the other Cain smear threads here, he is certainly not alone. These guys are not acting like gentlemen and they certainly are not adhering to Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment who he attributed to Gaylord Parkinson, “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.” It is a very sad state of affairs when the followers of someone claiming to be a “Reagan Republican” engage in this type of behavior.
Cain / Rice 2012 LOL
Whoopsie-—even better. Check out Quinnipiac: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2801560/posts.
“Whats an Aegis cruiser? Anyone? Teaspoon deep or all air and no balloon. Obama by 10 if Cains it.”
Hey ‘tard, if you can’t Google it, try this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegis_Ballistic_Missile_Defense_System
Check out the Red Eye interview, at about 5:40 minutes into it, when he starts talking about working as a rocket ballistics analyst as a mathematician for the navy.
He goes on to talk about the Aegis warships.

I had two uncles doing high end math for the military, one of them Navy ballistics, the other doing fluid dynamics for some scientific/military think tank. Both of these men were bona fide geniuses. The expectations in that role are extremely high. Cain could not have performed to those expectations were he not an exceptional intellect. The suit he wears may not be tailored for a typical politician, but it is by no means empty.
Teflon Godfather(s pizza)!
Teflon Godfather!
Eason Jordan?
The same Eason Jordan that resigned from the Clinton News Network?
Yep, it’s the same Eason Jordan.

BTW, I’m glad that it isn’t sticking.
I don’t want to be stuck with Romney. Cain is a true conservative and seeing the media go bonkers just keeps confirming it.
“despite? Because of.”
Ain’t that the truth. People are tired of this nonsense. These attacks are just going to push Cain higher.
More than that... Cain is a GOOD man!
SHAME on the media, SHAME on the other candidates, and SHAME on anyone that assists in smearing this good man!
