I like Newt. If Cain happens not to get it,...I would ten times rather he get it than Romney. What say you?
I’m sticking with Herman.
That’s all.
Newt is sleazy as heck, but Romney is sleazy as hell, so I’d like him above Romney.
Its cBS, nuff said.
Newt, without a doubt. Romney is a liberal and not a toe-to-toe fighter with Obama as Newt is. We already know how Newt would govern — he has made that clear. We can only guess at how Mitt would do, and I don’t like his record. (Romneycare, which he continues to defend).
Romney at 15% Nationally..
That is all. Carry on, folks.
I believe it. I’m trending towards Newt, and I see a lot of others here in the same boat.
In your dreams CBS!!!!!
Cain - Gingrich or Gingrich - Cain .....both have a lovely ring!
No thanks, have no desire for the GOP to run McCain 2.0 in 2012.
The way for Newt to be my strong #2 is for him to start hitting Romney harder starting this Sat night.
Let’s see.....we ran smears on Cain for two weeks and our polling shows he is losing support.
Typical media patting themselves on the back.
More than anything it appears that no one is really satisfied with the field
This poll was conducted by telephone from November 6-10, 2011 among 1,182 adults nationwide. 1,029 interviews were conducted with registered voters and 382 with voters who said they plan to vote in a Republican primary. Phone numbers were dialed from samples of both standard land-line and cell phones.
I think we are seeing the Tea Party Conservatives migrate to Cain and the East Cost Conservatives migrate to Gingrich. That leaves the 10% liberals with Mitt and the 10% Birchers with Paul. I am guessing the others will continue to fade out. But things can always change.
I agree that the trend is probably accurate. I would find it hard to believe that a candidate can take a drubbing such as Cain has taken for the last two weeks and not see numbers fall. What suprises me most, however, is that his numbers haven’t fallen more than they seem to have fallen. It’s shocking, really.
I predict that there will be attacks launched on other candidates as well. Their numbers will also suffer. Who knows where this will all end up?
And Rick Perry at 8% in 4th place.
1) Notwithstanding the possible links with the enemy camp with this Bailek woman, I think Cain could be doing a much better job of publicly demanding specific times and dates and telling her and the media that until she does so, to put up or shut up and stop wasting his and the American people's time with this stuff.
2) The feeling that he may not be listening to the problems with the last "9" of his "999" plan - the introduction of a whole new tax with out repealing the 16th amendment and income tax first.
Gingirch is the debater extraordinaire. The problem I have with Gingrich is his past. Has he really laid out before the American people with a clear repentance and change of heart, his moral failings of an extramarital affair while in Congress and his admitted (in Congress, not necessarily directly to the American people) Congressional indiscretions. Why should the American people give him POTUS with anything less than that? He also seems sort of arrogant and "smarter than thou." And I'm not sure how consistent he is behind the scenes.
Dang man, what will it take to get Palin back into this? We're steaming full speed ahead at night through an ice field and you can smell the icebergs.
If Newt wins the nomination, I’m Ok with it, but he wouldn’t be my first choice. I just want to beat Obama. (politically, leftists)
I like Newt, but I’m not writing Perry off either. I think he did a good job using his brain fart over the Dept of Energy to get on talk shows where comes off well. I also saw my first Perry TV ad yesterday. We’ll see.
As for Cain, his best poll was 30% right before the harassment story broke and he’s been sliding ever since. Last week all the Cainiacs were boasting that the story hadn’t hurt Cain, and I was pointing out his sliding poll ratings. I don’t think a lot of undedided voters are going to switch to him at this point. To do so they would have to be convinced that the story is bogus, and a lot of them just aren’t comfortable making that judgement, plus they don’t want to hear about the story for the next year. They will pick a safe choice rather than take that chance.
I am a bit surprised at Romeny’s drop. I don’t see anything to really account for that. I figured Myth would hold at 25-30% short of some mamouth meltdown.
It is raining where I live, but this kind of good news makes it feel like the Sun is coming out.
GO NEWT GO......
