I’m not a math major or a rocket science like Herman Cain but I think this adds up to over 50%:

Herman Cain 35% of the votes. Newt Gingrich 23%

He might want to start that comeback soon. The graph of his polling is on a steady downward slant. Extrapolated out, it ought to be at or near zero in 58 days when the first ballots are cast.

Another way of looking at it, the “Tag Team”, Herman and Newt took 58% of the vote!

I don’t think Newt wins the general election under any plausible scenario. I still have issues with Cain but he is the best of the bunch so far.

Isaiah 54:17

No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the LORD.

Heck, I have issues with every candidate. But I agree, Cain is the best chance we have of keeping Mitt Romney out of the White House.

"No but the elites should sit up and take notice"

I just watched those smug faced elites with Chris Wallace/Fox pontificate how Herman Cain will not get the nomination....

Pigot-(oops, Gigot) from WSJ....super smirky Bill Kristol.....Evan Bayh....Wallace....put down Cain ....

No wonder Cain's wife refused to grace them with her appearance on Greta...

..they're all a pack of hyenas!

Thank you.

The only comment I can make on your post to me is that I believe there is one establishment, not two. the Establishment is the puppet master behind both parties. It has been there for many decades, and they would hate to see all of their hard work in destroying the country go for naught. But I think the American giant has at last awakened, and will not take no for an answer.

Go Herman Cain! And thank You, Lord.
