Results Herman Cain 37% Perry 15% Romney 14%
So, with the Congress and the presidency also capable of screwing over those same groups, is there ANY office your sensibilities could vote for, outside of dog catcher?
I’d be happy to see either Bachmann or Cain do well; they are both conservative and I like them both. ANYONE but a liberal be they named Rick Romney or Mitt Perry.
Thank Goodness. Finally the Paulettes couldn’t influence poll.
I have always thought a Palin/Cain ticket was the “Ticket”. Great job Cain!
If he doesn't he is a closet racist and heartless.

Cheers!
Fantastic!!! He’d be my choice of declared candidates. Well done Mr. Cain!!!
The ballot must have been too confusing. This IS Florida, you know.
It depends on the straw poll. Ronald Reagan won the Florida straw poll in 1979, George H.W. Bush in 1987 and Kansas Sen. Bob Dole in 1995.
Vladimir is concerned about this recent development.
I hope he can capitalize on this and push the media-driven Romney-Perry 'front runners' off the stage. He won't be taken seriously by the leftmedia and the GOP elites will sneer at his lack of political 'experience' but conservatives now have a viable candidate they can support. For me, I'll be happy to see the Romney/Perry duo pushed to the side because neither one is a conservative. Especially Mitt. This is a great day, even for those of us that may be hoping for Sarah Palin to enter the Republican primary race. Herman Cain is too good to dismiss and I hope he can keep his momentum going.
Dead on accurate! Run Sarah Run!!!!
ABC News reports that Rick Perry is emphasizing the importance of today's Florida GOP P5 straw poll in Orlando, Florida, where he made his case in person this morning: “There are number of folks and some campaigns who have spurned this tradition of the Florida straw poll,” Perry told an estimated crowd of 2,000 at a delegate breakfast hosted by his campaign. “I think that’s a big mistake. I think the Florida straw poll is very important.”
Perry shared with the delegates his personal experience from 2000, as the then lieutenant governor awaited the Florida results from the presidential election to determine his next step in Texas.
“There was a little notoriety out here about a thing called a hanging chad,” Perry said. “I just wanted to share with you what was about a month and a half – my hopes of being the governor of Texas were kind of in the balance during that same period of time and here we are eleven years later, and I’ve got my hopes on Florida again.”
Perry has been making this pitch in Orlando since Thursday, when he spoke to members of the Faith and Freedom Coalition and stressed the importance the straw poll.
"I want you to know, I did not plan, when the debate’s over with, I’m not going back to Texas," Perry said, hours before the debate. "I’m staying in Florida. From here, were going to be competing all across this state. This P5 straw poll has served a great purpose over the course of the years. I think it’s really important for the candidates to understand, P5 matters. Ronald Reagan understood P5 mattered in 1979."

This shows that conservatives outnumber rinos. I like Cain, bit he does not at least yet have the organization, big money, and he had no past history of holding a political office. There is a thirst go a real conservative, I think that this could be an indicator or how Palin would do.
Too funny - people on FR trying to say this is meaningless. It’s only meaningless when it’s not their candidate winning!
ALL I have heard for the past month is how Herman can’t touch Perry in the polls. Now they say the polls don’t count. LOL! It doesn’t work that way.
Plus he had the biggest fundraising in the last 48 hours than in the whole campaign. Plus he is on top of Gallup positive intensity again. That is 17 of the last 18 weeks now!
Herman Cain for President website has crashed. I want help.
So if Cain is black, and he's pushing the '999', who is his opposite number who is 666?
/shooting fish in a barrel>
Cheers!
I think that’s #20 on posting abt Cain and the Fed in the past 2 days.
Imagine even a Cain/Rubio, Cain/Martinez Cain/Ryan Cain/Christie ticket. The WH election strategy would die on its ass.
