Cain was still going strong [And still IS going strong!]

Public Policy Polling ^ | 11/1/11 | staff

[TexasFreeper2009]

Herman Cain's had a bad couple of news days that may or may not ultimately throttle his candidacy, but in our polling over the weekend he was continuing to fly high. In North Carolina, which a month ago was the first state we found him leading in, he'd built on his support over the last four weeks. And in Maine he held a small advantage over Mitt Romney, showing the ability to challenge Romney even on his home New England turf.

In North Carolina Cain led with 30% to 22% for Newt Gingrich, 19% for Mitt Romney, 10% for Rick Perry, 4% each for Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul, 2% each for Jon Huntsman and Rick Santorum, and 0% for Gary Johnson.

In Maine Cain led with 29% to 24% for Romney, 18% for Gingrich, 5% each for Bachmann and Paul, 4% for Perry, 2% for Santorum, and 1% each for Huntsman and Johnson.

Seems to me that Ron Paul is losing his luster.

[HerrBlucher]

Interesting, looks like the Cain in Maine puts Romney down the drain.

[chilepup]

Or his eyebrow ;-)

HAHAHHAA!!!! Good one.

True, but still the pain of Cain falls mainly on Hussein.

A American can cast a vote that’s not in vain

I wish I'd thought of that.

The pain of cain is mainly in the brain ..... for lefties... Mea culpa, I read this on another thread and I didn't make it up ... but I AM stealing it to use as an e-mail sig for lefty family members and lefty co-workers, until the primaries settle things and if that works out, perhaps I'll make up some bumper stickers.....

What have been the Sexual Harassment charges filed against the officers and ordinary employees of Politico?

The big news is it looks like we’re moving into a 3 man race: Cain, Romney, and Newt (Newt is now the solid #3).

Newt is the interesting one here. If Cain stumbles, he’ll probably pick up most of Cain’s voters.

That means Perry, Santorum, and Bachmann are done. End of story. Their only hope was to have Cain fall and pick up his votes. But, if Cain’s votes end up going to Newt, they have no route to victory.

Paul will get his 5-10% of the vote in the primary, but he has topped out. He won’t get Cain’s votes should Cain fall.

[Notary Sojac]

It's obvious that Newt is the only one actually using his brain during the debates rather than reciting memorized catchphrases.

In particular, if I hear Bachmann mention her 4,379 foster children one more time I'm afraid I'm gonna have to buy a new TV.

Newt would make great a great Vice President for Cain.
