Sometimes I really miss Bill. That was a good clip of Cain as well, though Clinton certainly got the better of the exchange.

OMG, send it to me, we'll work on it?
Cain mopped the floor with him, but was civil about it.
They both were classy, but Cain convinced him he needed to do more work. A lot of people credit Cain for stopping HilaryCare.
Yes, even I miss Bill, but Cain bested him.

The one with Clinton was at a townhall. Clinton was President, promoting HilaryCare in 1994.

OK - I repeat my assertion that nobody really won, because both were trying to do math in their heads and it was unclear who made the more compelling argument.

On Hannity, right after the debate, Sean interveiwed all of them. Cain did pretty good I think, but I haven't been able to find it so far. I keep coming up with other interesting videos and get distracted. Like this. Totally great reporting by CBS!!!!!!!!!
Scroll down for great Cain videos. One where he went to Wi to support Scott Walker during the protests. He's the only one of all the contenders to do that. Guess he's not afraid of losing the Union vote. :)
There is also the Muslim clip that may hurt him or not. Only time will tell. Anyway Kudos to CBS.

No, Cain was prepared when he came in with his numbers, and was not doing math in his head. You could tell he'd been over and over them to make sure he had it right. He was a mathmatician for the navy ya know. Bill wasn't prepared for someone like that and honestly I don't think he knew how bad the plan would be for small business. It's not really the presidents job to do all the math stuff himself anyway.

I know!:shock: They did more for him than Fox. Fox has ignored him since he won the debate.
 
Never fear, Newt is here! He is riding in to save the day, and has tossed his (white) hat into the ring!

MSNBC doesn't like Newt? I can't imagine why not. A Newt candidacy would give a huge boost to the Obama campaign, after all.

who cares? Most people don't even watch MSNBC. I don't even know if most liberals watch MSNBC. MSNBC can pretty much do whatever they want because they know the vast majority of people don't take them seriously.

That's what I thought. I think they just can't help themselves when a Republican doesn't exactly have good family values. They have to rip into them. It's in their DNA.

Newt is an idiot that caused Clinton to win a second term.

They don't have one. Just ones they don't want as far as I can tell.

Actually, they do. Its Mitch Daniels. And Conservatives should back him because hes the only person currently that can beat Obama while also getting the reta.... ultra conservative base's vote.

Maybe it is a good strategy after all. The more MSNBC attacks the unelectable candidate, the more the Republicans will have to support them, the more likely it is that an unelectable candidate will be selected, and the more likely a second Obama term is.

See? Maybe MSNBC is smarter than we think.

The only boost to Obama will be a RINO if nominated. Why vote lib light when you can go full on crypto-Marxist with Obama?

If Obama was honest and outspoken about his real beliefs and what he wants to do to this country he would lose in the worst landslide in American history. But he knows this and so lies, obfuscates and dissembles to hide his true colors.

In other words, if Obama ran honestly and he faced Newt he would get trounced. Whatever happened, Newt would annihilate Obama in a debate. I mean just absolutely wipe the floor clean with him.

Obama is scared of Newt like no other candidate.

All the republicans on the field are RINOs. The only real one is Ron Paul. Looks like you are screwed.

So he wants to destroy America?

Or the watch it for one day and make their decisions based on a pundit...or the watch it everyday but only listen to the same people...and make their decisions
 
All these republican candidates...all these different view and perspectives on all these gop candidates. In the end there will be only one and I doubt theres much chance it will be Cain or Paul.
In the end all these opinions and views on who should be the nominee will have to decide on the one who wins and Obama, whether its your favorite or not...or whether you consider them a rino or not but I love all the speculation its what makes politics fun :)

You might be right. Seems Fox is suckin' up to Newt.
I think they are going to regret giving that loser so much time. They need to pay some attention to Cain.

Iowa, Cain with double digit lead

BREAKING: New Iowa Poll Gives Herman Cain Double-Digit Lead But Iowans Unsure

A new poll shows businessman Herman Cain being favored by 24% of Iowa conservatives, giving him a double-digit lead over the field of the possible G.O.P. contenders. But the poll also revealed great uncertainty about the Republican field among Iowa conservatives.

The poll, conducted by the 2012 Iowa Report (a sister site to CampaignTrailReport.com), exclusively surveyed Iowa conservatives between May 4-10. The top vote getters after Cain were: Mike Huckabee (12%), Newt Gingrich (10%), Ron Paul (9%) and Sarah Palin (8%). Michele Bachman, Donald Trump, Mit Romney, and Tim Pawlenty were bunched from 7% to 4%.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has said he will not run, took 39 votes. Ex-Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty had 28, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin 22, ex-House Speaker Newt Gingrich 14, and ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee also 14.

Trailing were Rudy Giuliani with 12 votes, Donald Trump and Rep. Ron Paul with 10, Rep. Michele Bachman at 9 votes, Jeb Bush and Sarah Palin at 8 votes apiece, ex-Sen. Rick Santorum with 7 votes.

Be prepared for your hopes to be dashed....Cain won't even finish in the top 5 of the GOP. But I wish they would nominate him.....it would drive a lot of GOP to stay home.
 
Consevatives stayed home in 2008. I had to drag myself there and then hold my nose. They'll be at the polls for Cain. Republicans/Conservatives/Independents/Libertarians...They'll all turn out.
Obama will have the Dems/Socialists/Communists/Marxists/Liberals/Progressives :)
