Herman Cain Leads Republican Field In Zogby Poll Has a new frontrunner emerged?

What it looks like to me is that Perry and Bachmann have dropped and their support went to Cain. This actually makes sense, since Cain is, among the remaining candidates, the one most like Perry and Bachmann. Paul is of course holding dead steady, which is to be expected, since Paul has a fervent base and the rest of the world thinks he is bat**** insane. He will get his ~10 % consistently, without it going up or down much. The rest don't have enough support to matter much except Romney, and I am not sure who Romney supporters would switch to.

I think your pretty much right on the mark...with your assessment...
 
My brother in law put it(paraphrasing) that being a great business leader does not mean you would be good as a government leader, and in fact the opposite is probable. It's one of the few things politically we agree on. He mentioned the example of imagining a CEO having to work with a congress to get anything done.

He could just threaten to do things without them.
 
I'm so ****ing sick of the free pizza thing. I dunno if you guys have noticed, but doesn't run Godfather's anymore.
 
I agree it's one only a fool would employ.

I really can't think of a faster way to get impeached. I doubt even members of his own party would allow their power to be made meaningless.
 
The only thing that really matters is that he won the florida straw poll. Every candidate that has won that poll has won the nomination.

Thats true...but it remains to be seen if it works out that way this time
 
A lot of predictive events fell by the wayside during the last election cycle. I'm not going to give the usual predictions too much weight because we are in an extraordinary position. The level of anger toward Obama from the right and GWB from the left; anger from the voters toward all the members of Congress (especially the one's that held up the debt resolution and are currently doing it again) and a rising feeling among voters that all incumbents need to be sent home. When I've seen this happen before, none of the usual predictive elements were reliable.
 
I hope so, He's had my primary vote for months now. I know if this keeps up, the only thing making Cain not likely will be gone an i believe a whole new support base will start to emerge for him. A lot of people i have talked to have said the only reason they wouldn't vote for him is because they think he wouldnt win the primary.

I think about it in a completely different way. Cain's methods of demonstrating clear goals, reason, and strategy will win over congress much like it has the american people who have watched the debates. He has had a history now of surprising poll and winning the majority audience. It would be REALLY nice for a change to not have a politician in the white house.
 
Herman Cain will never be president. He is part of the problem with politics, not the solution. He's a shock joke, way to partisan, uses to much bias empty rhetoric and is nothing more than a mouth piece. :shrug:

While I think Cain is a great businessman, I believe his extremely partisan stance would be too polarizing for him to be able to get much done in Washington as a president.
 
My brother in law and sister know him socially somewhat. Both think he is an awesome, brilliant guy who has not chance to be president, nor should he be president. Both my sister and brother in law are very conservative, so the issue is not that he is conservative, but that they don't think he has the qualifications.

Thats because we are routinely told that one has to have some sort of massive amounts of Washington Politics experience to be successful as President.

I don't believe that to be true.

Wow! I thought you were describing Obama. :shock:

Not defending obama but they are nothing alike. Obama is not a shock jock, he isnt super partisan at all, nor does he use empty BIAS rhetoric that much. "empty" maybe lol but not that
bias.



Very different and win obama ran or will run he didnt just bash the other side, nor do I think he will. I believe thats all cain will do and the american people dont want that. Especially independents and moderates.

so empty rhetoric is about all they got ;)

I don't need to try again. And, people do not have to agree perfectly with me. Nope, not at all. If you believe that Obama is going to run without bashing the other side, you have not been listening. Take another sip. LMAO!!!

well you just proved how blindly bias you are because I NEVER said that obama will run without bashing the other side LMAO

thanks for proving my point and your bias. You read what you WANT to read and not what was actually said.

Like I sad, try again cause you failed.:laughat:
 
There is no chance in hell that the GOP gives its nomination to a black man. That is the simply reality. Sorry....Cain Supporters, but it will never happen in todays GOP.

Cain's showing in Florida is simply the result of Perry's stances on social security and medicare, which highlights why he isn't electable. The GOP cannot win the whitehouse without Florida and Perry can never carry Florida with his high negatives among seniors.
 
Oh, I understand that, and it is news, and it is interesting. I am anxiously awaiting the next couple polls, to see if they show a similar spike, and wonder why he of all the candidates spiked.

he's the Huckabee of 2012 - smooth talker who represents a protest vote against the two leaders.

you have any evidence of this whatsoever?

:roll: looks like someone isn't aware that Cain has called in the last three debates for the full privatization of SS ;)
