It looks like he weathered the sexual harassment stuff unscathed. He is winning in key states.

As always, it is important to compare those poll results with previous polls from the same company. When such a comparison is possible, Cain has lost ground in every case.
 
The $9m his campaign just raised will place him in more households on terms that benefit him. Go Herman.
 
Oh Happy Day! Those who were not here to experience 1964 and Barry Goldwater will get a second chance to see the GOP tank from coast to coast from the top of the ticket to the bottom.
 
It's interesting that the only candidate who shot ahead in polls over a relatively short time was Bachmann, who almost immediately lost all that support when people saw more coverage of her. Right now, the most likely outcome seems to be the same trend for Cain. Only Perry, Gingrich, an Paul seem to have any kind of consistent following that could give Romney a real challenge.

For liberals, Romney is the worst candidate because he will sell his administration to the highest bidder. Cain is the least likely to win because he's the only candidate in either party campaigning on tax increases for the poor and middle class/tax breaks for the rich. What a horrible platform.

Gingrich and Paul are the two that liberals could actually work with in office, just because they seem like actual intelligent human beings (Gingrich has a lot of vile rhetoric but I think it's a front). Huntsman could only win the nomination if his popularity shoots up and is at its highest at the precisely right moment when the GOP can't turn back.

The comedian in me longs for Cain to win the nomination. My mind and murphy's lay are both telling me it will be Romney.
