(Buried deep down in the 6th paragraph were the actual polling results)

"In the full sample, based on four days of national polling, Romney finished second with 25 percent (behind Cain’s 27 percent). Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry tied for third at 14 percent."

---break---

The POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll of 1,000 likely voters, including 436 Republicans, was conducted Nov. 6-9 by The Tarrance Group and Lake Research Partners. The nationwide telephone survey had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

Backtracking backtracking excuses excuses then in the 2nd half of the 6th paragraph they finally tell us the poll results. Yes, Cains numbers went down as they ran 100+ stories about "allegations", but the fact they were forced to run this headline is priceless!

Now where is that Ha/Ha icon?

[goldstategop]

Its a hoot... Cain has weathered the controversy and Slick Willard is where he’s always been in second.

It must be frustrating for him to see the upstart elbow past him. But he’s patient and will wait it out to the end.

FUMR!! FUKR!! FURINOS!!

I don’t put a lot of faith in polls but they do show trends if they are accurate polls.

I know nothing of George Washington university, but the trend I see from this poll is that Newt and Perry are tied.
Even after the Newt Cain Kissyfest Lincoln Douglas debate.

Even after the fatal Uh, Uh, Duh 53 seconds.

[mylife]

BTW Cain was a deer in the headlights during the Lincoln Douglas kissyfest

But among the MSM, including Fox, Mitt's still the "front runner".

“But among the MSM, including Fox, Mitt’s still the “front runner”.”

He has no conservative base... He can’t win against Obama.

[Graybeard58]

FUKR!!

Who's KR?

[Chunga]

KR?

[goldstategop]

If he gets the base, he has to work to patch up a divided party. I don’t envy him the task.

I understand that, quite well.

My point was, no matter what the polls say, the media insists on calling Romney, "the front runner".

[mylife]

GWU is a DC based school.

I would put no merit in this poll.

[American Constitutionalist]

Yes Jim Rob, the REBELLION is brewing against the ROVES, the MSM, the Liberal lying bastards GOP establishment and against Romney .

[Chunga]

Got it!

[ConservativeTeen]

I’m guessing Karl Rove.

[Lazlo in PA]

This would be my first guess.

[Chunga]

Right! I was thinking it probably wasn’t Kenny Rogers.

[Graybeard58]

That works. Thanks.

Seems not too long ago, it was, “Rove, you magnificent bastard”.

My, how time changes things.
