This shows that the Republican field is still very fluid, but what was the factor that lifted Cain to the top here?

IMHO the very same factor, which led to the GOP sweep in the last elections...

This is a very encouraging day.

People are sick of professional pandering politicians.

First of all, I like Cain! I have liked him from the first time I heard him speak on a YouTube video. That said, this was a vote against Perry.

I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember 1975. A unknown Governor named Carter was elected because even the Dems. (they were a lot better than they are now) could not bring themselves to vote for the ultra liberals that were running. Cater won because no one really knew him and he was smart enough to take advantage of the situation.

Cain, could very well do the same thing. Perry make a mistake, I am from Texas and am not a Perry fan, but one thing Perry does well is WIN. He will be back in front very soon. Cain just has a gleam of light now that he didn't have yesterday.

If Cain pulls it off, nobody will be happier than The Cold Texan!
