We’ve all heard about the latest Gallup poll showing Newt Gingrich slightly ahead of Willard Romney and both of them ahead of Herman Cain. People like Tokyo Rove and the Republican establishment (which now includes all of the media since Fox has jumped in Romney’s tank as well) do not want you anywhere near the latest Harris poll – it doesn’t fit their narrative which says Herman Cain’s campaign was mortally wounded by the false charges alleged by Gloria Axle-Red.
The Harris survey says otherwise. It says, to paraphrase Mark Twain, “The reports of the demise of Herman Cain’s campaign are greatly exaggerated.”
Herman Cain, the former Navy mathematician, leads the Harris Poll with 19% followed by Willard Romney the perpetual flip flopper at 16% and Newt Gingrich the former Freddie Mac lobbyist at 15%.
A review of the internal numbers carries some very nice news for Herman Cain.
When divided by basic ideologies the respondents who self identified as conservatives favored Cain with 19% while Gingrich gets 15% and Willard gets 12% – but hey he leads even Jon Huntsman 14/12 among liberals!
But wait; it gets better: among self identified TEA partiers, people with a high likelihood of voting, Cain’s lead grows. He is up 23% to 14% for both Gingrich and Willard.
The poll results also include a flashing yellow light for all three of the top tier (and how establishment Republicans NEVER expected to hear Cain spoken about as “top tier” again?).
Willard does best with people who “would never vote for….” He gets 19% of Republicans saying that, while Cain (26) and Gingrich get 23 trail in that measurement.
Missouri TEA party straw poll
Last Saturday the Missouri TEA party held a state wide meeting and conducted a straw poll to determine the extent of support its members have for each of the Republican candidates. Herman Cain won with 32% over the 28% both Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul received. Willard Romney got just 3%.
In spite of what the Republican establishment and its temporary new-best-friends in the media have to say, Herman Cain is not only still standing, but actually leading in at least one major poll – not bad for a guy who’s campaign is dead!

Herman Cain still has legs!!! Any human being that can go through and survive the onslaught of false accusations, threats, both physical and verbal that Herman Cain has had to endure is a person with a rock hard, roack solid constitution!!! The "Chicago Way" attack mantra was threefold, designed to sink Herman Cain into oblivion through fear lies and personal attacks/threats. First, the racism attack from the Obama, Congressional Black Caucus, second, the bimbo attack from the Obama, Politico rag and last, the bodily harm threats from who knows where (Guess Who?), that prompted Secret Service protection for Mr. Cain.
Any normal human being would be shaken, torn apart and probably go down in flames, as Obama & the Democrat Party set out to acheive. But…..Mr. Cain did not cooperate!!!
Yes, he has stumbled and made some gaffes, to say the least, but…Cain is still standing and will get better and improve with each passing day. Obama fears Cain greatly!!! The establishment, both Republican & Democrat fear him greatly also.
Why? Because he is not one of them, and never will be!!! Americans better wake up!!! We, all, Blacks, Hispanics, Whites and all other Americans need someone that will truly be a game changer……Herman Cain fits that bill!!! The American people & voters, by a large, overwhelming majority across the board have lost both respect and trust in our political system starting with our failed POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama!!! America is driving itself off the cliff…..and we do not need another beltway poltician or a mass of other beltway politicians leading us anymore. We need a game changer. Is Herman Cain perfect? No…far from it!!! But….neither Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, FDR, JFK , Reagan, etc. were perfect either!!! America, Americans, wake up. Time is running out quickly for good old Uncle Sam. The enemy borne from inside our own house is at the gates!!!

Coach : Not surprised to learn that Fox News is pushing Romney. They've developed a bad case of "Rove-itis". It may turn out that Karl will be the "Architect" of his own career downfall. He's too much of a Centrist, a dyed-in-the-wool opportunistic RINO.
I'm delighted to learn of Mr. Cain's continued success !
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY TO ALL MY FRIENDS AT COACH IS RIGHT ! ENJOY YOUR MANY BLESSINGS, AND THANK GOD FOR THE FREEDOM WE STILL POSSESS TO VOICE OUR OPINIONS.
Best wishes, Joanne E.
Ditto concerning Krauthamer and Oreilly who relentlessly insist Cain is incompetent on foreign policy ignoring some recent exceptionally intelligent remarks to foreign policy questions quickly remedying early questions that caught him off-guard. His statement on the middle east in which he hit the nail on the head and showed him to be a good analyst of historical aspects when he used the term the "so called" Palestinians and reviewed events of our Fraudident's Libyan adventure showing where he disagreed instead of giving a simple blanket approval. O'reilly jumped all over him when he suggested we should put carriers in proximity to Iran as too provocative. When Cain replied that Iran was sending its warship to our waters, O'reilly became silent. How refreshing to have an intelligent, experienced troubleshooter who knows how to find and use information from proven experts and not let political bias interfere with sound carefully thought out decisions as our Fraudident has shown with impressive oratory but much stupidity.
Hello normandola ! Hope you had a fine Thanksgiving Day !
Thanks for the reply. Since I rarely watch Fox News anymore (along with the other scathingly biased majors), I was unaware of the exchange between O'reilly and Cain.. I am pleased to know that someone like Cain finally showed that opinionated, Centrist, fence-sitter that he DOESN'T have all the answers !
Cain, of course, was absolutely correct to use the term "so-called" Palestinians. There is no such State and this rabble are occupiers, usurpers and pretenders to the lands belonging to others.
