As he continues to battle media coverage over past sexual harassment allegations, businessman Herman Cain leads other Republican hopefuls in the first Rasmussen Reports look at the GOP primary race in Florida.
The latest statewide telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary voters shows Cain with 30% support while former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney picks up 24% of the vote. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich draws support from 19% of Florida GOP voters with no other candidate picking up double-digits.

This Florida survey of 788 Likely Republican Primary Voters was conducted on November 8, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
I sent Tokyo Rove an email with Allred’s statements on MSNBC about calling Cain before our esteemed Houses of Congress to flagellate and punish him.
I wondered if he still thought that she added credibility to the not to be questioned accusers.

Herman, Herman, he’s our man! If he can’t do it...
Well, I guess I’ll have to hold my nose and vote for Newt.
Thanks Paperdoll. I agree that we need to put our money where our mouths are. If we are supporting Cain, we need to do more that be verbal about it.
He needs money to continue his fight and campaign successfully.
I think Cain’s presser helped a ton. Almost as much as the last accuser, who looks phonier than a three dollar bill.
The more accusers they pile on, the worse they looks as a group. Looking at any one of them, they don’t seem so bad, but together they:
1) work for Obama
2) live in Axelrod’s building
3) have multiple bankruptcies
4) have repeated issues with employers
5) wear low cut blouses and push up bras on TV appearances
6) giggle inappropriately
7) won’t give names
8) allegations were found to be without merit
9) sought out Cain after alleging sexual impropriety
10) hire Gloria for lawyer
I don’t understand. The Obama people, the Romney people, and the rest of the inside the Beltway elitists have assured me that Cain is finished. Why aren’t the voters who think they want constitutional government listening to our betters?
Can’t wait for Karl to endorse Obama if Cain wins the nomination.
Looking at the current field of GOP candidates and having seen the debates thus far, only Cain stands tall.
I was once for that Palin girl but we know the story there. So in absence of Palin, Cain is the one.
Could it be Newt? Don't think so. He's got too much "real" personal baggage to survive a general election. Though he definitely deserves a top role in the Cain Administration.
Could it be Bachmann? Don't think so. While she shares most of Tea Party views, she lacks the charisma that a successful candidate for president needs. Like Newt, she deserves a high place in the Cain Administration.
Could it be Mitt Romney? Hell no.
Could it be Rick Perry? I'm afraid he has suffered too many self-inflicted wounds to be a factor going forward. Also, he's too much a part of the political establishment that conservative voters are tired of.
Could it be Sarah Palin? Only if Cain somehow manages to flame out. She could come into the race late and force a brokered convention. However, this is not the preferred scenario.
Herman Cain gives us the best shot of a conservative Tea Party president in 2012.
That all said, I'm late for lunch so I'm going to grab a meatball and cheese sub at the deli. Thank you very much for listening.
very well reasoned, thank you.
The Bots are deeply saddened.
Gingrich/Cain 2012 - I’m feelin’ it!!
Herman Cain did great during his presser, Herman Cain did great on the Jimmy Kimmel show and Herman Cain will do great tonight on the CNBC debate, even with John Harwood, the Obama butt kisser as a moderator. Maria, well...so...so!!! At least Maria is not an Obamabot, posing as a neutral, as John Harwood is. But.....Herman & Newt will make mincemeat out of weakling Harwood this evening. And......the Cain women on the attack are falling apart themselves, as either left-wing Obama nuts or Obama evening madams in the hunt for quick cash!!! Could be an interesting evening!!!!
“Can’t wait for Karl to endorse Obama if Cain wins the nomination.”
It would not surprise me one iota if he did. He is a mean, petty man, and a horrible strategist. We don’t want him; the Dems are more than welcome to take him off our hands.
Karl Rove is an idiot RINO!!
I like the way you think! Well said!
And don’t forget; getting advise from a 13 year old!
You’re much too kind in your assessment. Newt may be a RINO, Perry may be a RINO. But, Rove is pure malevolence on a mission to destroy conservatism forever.
FUKR!
Obama needs to be taught a very, very BIG lesson and it needs to happen in front of the American people.
Where is that “vintage” pic of Tokyo Rove? Can someone at least put the word F-A-I-L across his massive forehead?
