Cain ended up winning a couple of key demographics, especially the age demos of 35-49 and 50-64, leading Romney by double digits in each. Romney won seniors handily, 34/19 over Cain. Cain won Hispanic voters 22/16 over Romney. Cain won men (32/22) and Romney won women (31/17). Not surprisingly, Cain also won self-identified Tea Party voters, although not by as much as one might think at 34/26. Romney won the lower- and middle-income voters, but Cain edged him among those making more than $80K, 28/27./////////////////////
I expect a big surprise in Florida !!!

But we know Herman Cain can’t win.
As opposed to Mitt Romney, because he won a single political race with 49% of the vote, then couldn’t run for reelection, because he was polling below 30%. That’s the kind of political experience that makes someone a legitimate candidate.

27% versus 25% is not statistically significant.
I hope Cain beats Romney’s butt!!!

Oh, Romney can win the nomination. And unless Palin jumps in, he will; you can bank on it.
The question is whether he can win in November.

This must mean the field is now set....Cain vs. Romney.

FLA POLL: Mitt Romney 27%; Herman Cain 25%.
Rick Perry a lame 3rd at 13%, others further back.

Romney leads.
That should make the Charlie Crist Republican Establishment extremely happy.
I was in a doctor’s waiting room last week and there was Charlie Crist on the TV doing his “For the People” gig for Morgan and Morgan.
To: mandaladon
I'm sure the hand-wringers and bed-wetters will be along any minute now to tell us that Cain can't win and to sarcastically thank us for clearing the way for Romney. Some people are just too afraid to make a difference.

Florida has done a big favor to Governor Rick Perry. It has given him that proverbial kick in the rear to get his act together. If he responds to this feedback, he will be a better candidate and learn the right stuff to take down the clown.

In a REAL VOTE, loser Romney comes in third.
So the MSM and Team Romney invent another faux poll.
BS. Romney is third. and Mr. Cain leads.

The deal is far from sealed but its looking good for Mr Cain.
I hope he is prepared for the unbeleivable crap they (media and the lefty groups) will throw at him. They may even attack his family?
He can take a lesson from Palin there.
Gooo team!

There is an important lesson here. Romney can't break 30%. Even if he knocks out a candidate the votes don't go to him, the just find another candidate, who isn't Romney. The quick and total collapse of Perry is the worst thing that could have happend to him. Now the field is cleard for Cain, a real outsider and big "C" conservative.
Once Cain becomes the "Not Romney" watch Perry's numbers go to around 5%. Nobody really liked him, he just appeared to be the best among the "Not Romney's" available. Just as it was Bachman before Perry got into the race.
Cain is the penultimate outsider (the ultimate isn't running). He is high risk, high reward, and conservative primary voters are by nature, conservative. So the complete collapse of the safe bets may be the best thing that ever happened to the conservative movement. It made us stop and listen to Cain. And all he had to do was get people to pay attention to what he was saying to become the standard bearer of the conservative movement.

The Perry Fangirls, who will be here any minute, are trying to convince us that Mr. Open Borders is the only Republican that can stop Romney even though he is so incoherent he has to have his wife explain his positions, has a history of supporting illegal aliens and is buried up to his neck in “pay to play” schemes.
We can do better than these two pukes. We must do better.

"Fangirls", huh? Very nice.
I will just say that while I like most everything about Herman Cain, he hasn't yet been through the anal exam that others have. It is possible his stock will fall just as quickly as it rose.
And, yes, FWIW I still think the primary outcome of Perry's destruction was that Romney's chances of securing our nomination skyrocketed.
