Breaking News: Herman Cain Wins Florida Presidential Straw Poll, Rick Perry 2nd Read

[h=3]Breaking News: Herman Cain Wins Florida Presidential Straw Poll, Rick Perry 2nd[/h]

Interesting turn of events now to see what Hermain Cain does with this momentum!

IMO, there won't be much, if any, momentum. National polls very likely won't shift much--Governors Romney and Perry will remain ahead of the field and Mr. Cain will remain a largely marginal candidate. Straw polls do not necessarily reflect the overall sentiment of primary voters.
 
Re: Breaking News: Herman Cain Wins Florida Presidential Straw Poll, Rick Perry 2nd

This is wonderful!!

Hopefully Cain wil become the GOP nominee. I look forward to the fascinating, informative, & intelligent debates between him and Obama.

Cain is such a loss. Months ago, his ideas on finances, etc. caught my eye....then he cozied up to the religious right.

What a shame.
 
Re: Breaking News: Herman Cain Wins Florida Presidential Straw Poll, Rick Perry 2nd

IMO, he deserves to win the straw poll... we won the debate. Was one of the few actually willing to answer the questions.

Seriously? Is this a joke?

What a shame.

Most Republican hopefuls cozy up to the religious right, pretty much a base for them especially this early in the campaign. It is no different than Democrats cozied up to Unions, pretty much a base for the left. Not saying this is ideal or anything, just saying it is expected behavior and each party has their issues with that expected behavior. No matter how partisan you are, you should at least be able to see that.

It seems strange to me that Bachmann finished last. I don't like her, but after her Iowa win, that she finished dead last is a bit of a surprise. Something seems really off in the results...Cain was more than 20 points ahead of anyone.
 
Re: Breaking News: Herman Cain Wins Florida Presidential Straw Poll, Rick Perry 2nd

straw poll, straw pole. Neither should to be relied upon to carry any weight.

No, I don't. I have supported GOPers who were pro-choice. I reject the argument that the means justify the ends.
 
Re: Breaking News: Herman Cain Wins Florida Presidential Straw Poll, Rick Perry 2nd

I'm surprised to see him win this straw poll, since I didn't think he that much gas.

I would love to see him get the nomination, if for no other reason than to see Left wing heads explode.

Do you actually think he would have a chance in the general election?

I don't and I think left wingers would be thrilled to have him nominated.
 
Re: Breaking News: Herman Cain Wins Florida Presidential Straw Poll, Rick Perry 2nd

The longer the troop of GOP contenders stays whole and chews each other up...the worse its going to be for the eventual nominee...I would think.
I dont think Herman Cain will get the nomination and I think the chances are increasing it wont be perry.
Would be laughable if Newt Gingrich or Santorum surges next. Id like to add I personally Like Cain alot better than most all of the others.

Anyone, who isn't named, "Barack Obama", has a better than average chance in the general election, at worst. Cain would damn near be a shoe-in, because he would grab a significant portion of the black vote.

No ya'll wouldn't, because when Obama lost to Cain, you couldn't scream, "racism". Libbos would be dropping dead, all over the place from brain hemorrhages.

The only thing the Republican candidate has to worry about in the general election, is if too many voters stay home and don't vote against Obama.

And if he gets elected again is your head gonna pop?

No, but my billfold will no longer be needed, because there won't be any money to put in it.

It is not a means justify the ends kind of answer, nor does it matter what you reject or not. The point of the post I made had nothing to do with ideal nor what I would like to see either, just the reality of Republicans fighting each other for the nomination and whom they normally turn to for support. Again, I don't have to agree with it either... just ends up happening that way.

Hahahahah you think Cain would actually stand a chance.
 
Re: Breaking News: Herman Cain Wins Florida Presidential Straw Poll, Rick Perry 2nd

I have to admit that I am pleasantly surprised. This could be an interesting campaign to watch.

I guess there must not be any Tea Party members in Florida.
