Hmmm looks like they are pushing Newt hard. I don't see any falling off for Cain and after the non press conference press conference I don't see that changing. This if I'm not mistaken is his strongest showing in Iowa. He is getting more than Romney and Newt combined. Yet its Newt, Newt, Newt. :-) Newt is ok but those who claim that Newt would be a our professor savior against Obama are just not being honest with themselves. Newt has served himself better than I expected but I didn't much care for his dismissive statement about tax reform plus I haven't forgotten his recent history.

I'm really surprised at the low numbers for Perry but he is sufferring from GW Bush more than anything he's done or not done. The man has the best ads out. Anyway Let's see what next week brings. This show is getting interesting but I do think we could see Romney sink to single digits in Iowa before all is said and done. Those who have been pushing him either aren't good with math or are just trying to wish him into office. He has no path to victory as long as conservatives align behind one candidate. If Cain wins Iowa I don't think there is any stopping him especially after he managed to survive what for most was considered a direct hit and you could see there appeared to be coordination. They were trying to turn him into a joke like they did with Palin, Bush etc. They failed.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry at 6%. Snicker. That is hilarious. Can’t wait for him to drop out.

I am not. He is a liberal who is trying to pretend to be a conservative (failing that big time). He is a loser candidate and 92 percent of the primary voters see that. Thank God this guy is NOT going to be the President of the United States. It would have been a disaster. Go Cain!!!!! 30 percent and number 1!!!!

“Scandal-plagued.” And we’re not told exactly what Cain is guilty of!

Although the survey showed scandal-plagued Herman Cain still enjoying a substantial lead, InsiderAdvantage head Matt Towery says that will almost certainly not last.

I'm not a Cain guy but I am constantly confused by expert statements like this. How the Hell does he know that Cain is going to crash. Nothing has hurt him yet.

scandal-plagued Herman Cain

People toss the term "Kafkaesque" around too freely, but it fits perfectly in this case.

A scandal about something, involving someone anonymous, leaked by a hidden source, and we're not sure what was said or done but it was something, and Cain is 'scandal-plagued' because of it.

Sounds more like Newsmax wishful thinking than any kind of actual analysis.

Cain is confounding the ‘experts’ on this manufactured ‘scandal’ and he’s driving them crazy. Go Hermanator!

Cain is the best. Some anonymous bimbo who won’t come forward and state her accusations, throws firebombs in seclusion and won’t even release a statement of the alleged offenses wants us to take her seriously.

This has the fingerprints of the left all over it.

Just another Borking and Clarence Thomas situation.

It seems that conservatives and Americans in general have finally gotten it.

The same liberal media which ignored the racist bastard Obama had as a minister and personal friend, Obama’s connections with an anti-American radical and murderer, his personal drug abuse history, questionable citizenship, etc., are trying to smear Cain with an anonymous accuser who won’t even state her complaint - if she even exists.

It won’t work this time. No more Anita Hills or Tawana Brawleys.

“We have to remember that most Americans don’t read political newspapers or websites and these things take quite a while to trickle down.”

It’s kind of difficult to see Cain’s face day-in and day-out on TV, hear about Cain on the radio day-in and day-out...yet still NOT have ANY CLUE as to why he’s getting all this air time? Maybe they think if Republicans as blind and deaf?

This is a pretty DESPERATE attempt to try to discount Cain, even when his numbers are holding, at worst.

The best part of this poll is seeing Perry at 6%, the second best part is seeing Romney dropping in Iowa - this has to scare the crap out of the RINOs and the MSM.

The other interesting thing to note is that both Romney and Perry are the two people that Cain has been pointing to in this mess...and both are dropping. Newt, on the other hand, went as far as defending Cain (something Bachmann and Sanatorium could not bring themselves to doing...they had to pile on), and Newt is the one gaining strength.

Not bad overall.

I support Cain, but I’m really starting to scare myself because I seem to be warming up to Newt.

His speech on C-SPAN2 yesterday was very well received...no sign whatsoever that enthusiasm for his campaign has dimmed at all...sounds like media pipe dreams again.
