Cain's victory sends a message to party elites that they better quit messing with us and trying to shove undesirable candidates down our throats. I posted the other day, that, to Floridians, Social Security and Illegals are two issues that are huge, and Perry was tone-deaf on these issues. What plays in Texas, does not play elsewhere.

N-i-c-e take---thanks.

Wow! good post about the chads!

Don’t bother John334 just joined last month. He’s a troll.

Herman puts his tie where I put mine when I eat, over the shoulder.

Romney was counting on his Social Security demagoguery to win Florida for him. Now, what does he think?

"At a recent Spectator press event I had the opportunity to ask Cain about his views on the Federal Reserve. His view is that the Fed's current dual mandate is overbroad, and that it should not be tasked with promoting maximum employment. He argued that the only role of the Fed should be to stabilize the price level, and suggested that as president he would try to end the dual mandate. "

Well, I have to brag a bit about my beautiful, wonderful, right-wing, right-to-life, Obama-detesting wife. I just saw this thread and went back to the bedroom where she was dressing for dinner and said: "Who do you think won the Florida straw poll?" And she said: "Herman Cain?"

Wow. I must admit, I would not have guessed that, but God love her and The Hermanator. I know I love them both (in different ways, to be sure).

John334 just joined last month. I don’t take him seriously.

Possible Paulbot?

[Anima Mundi]

Yes something is happening! Nice counterculture arc. MMM Herman Caine!

[Rudder]

No Cain.

Gee, John. For a newbie, it must be disheartening being suddenly surrounded by conservative Cain supporters. You might find true happiness elsewhere...just sayin'.

[Jabba the Nutt]

Same thing happened to me earlier today, before the results were reported.

"This guy just joined last month."

I'm not a member of the "look down our noses at the newbies" club. I actually appreciate new opinions and find some of the old members to be the worst ones. Kinda seems like the good, older members have moved on, ya know.

Clearly the Ron Paul “supporters” didn’t show up. Normally they always win these straw polls. We know what that means.

Yep. His supporters had other plans today.

[There was some dude on a videocast a few min ago and the reporter asked him what do you think the headlines will say tomorrow?

He said “YES WE CAIN!”]

Awesome! I like it.

No more MSM telling us who our candidates are. No more holding our nose. Finally someone who will look for solutions based on ROI. Finally a problem solver based on data not politics. He will clean Obama’s clock in a debate. If he picks Rubio omg!!!!Rubio versus Bidden. Can you imagine.

[ClarenceThomasfan]

I am so happy for Cain and even happier that Mitt Romney came in behind Cain and Perry.

This calls for a celebration!

The establishment republicans just got a major sock in the jaw with a right hook. Perry and Romney are wobbling around the ring.

Way to go grass roots republicans. We can defeat these imposter conservatives!

[GourmetDan]

Hey, I’m glad Cain is connected to the private bankers at the Federal Reserve. It should make him a great president. Who needs a constitution these days anyway.

Make a few superficial changes so the sheeple will go back to sleep and the banksters can keep raping the economy. Is this a great country or what?

[Mike Darancette]

Raisin’ Cain. This should put him in the 1st tier - Bachmann is diminished.
