CAIN vs. UNABLE

GO HERMAN!!!!!!!!

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

All aboard the CAIN TRAIN!!!!!!!

[Kartographer]

Batten down the hatches boys! We be in for a HermanCain!

[boycott]

Only thing I got out of that poll was that 39% of them were idiots.

[11th_VA]

And most of the country hasn’t even heard of Cain - folks, I think we have a winner to beat Obama ...

Agree. He’s my favorite of the bunch so far.

[Sacajaweau]

Not at all surprised. I call it Michael Jackson syndrome. You stick with Michael and don’t go flitting off to Sammy Davis.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Give him a good Caining!

[Boardwalk]

It’s true when I tell people I like Herman Cain at least half say who is that? When they find out he is a black republican conservative they seem pleased!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Give him a good Caining!

[lawley]

Not a shock to me, ... we’re just getting started, folks.

Unless and until Sarah Palin gets in the race, Mr. Cain’s my man!

[astuddis]

I saw this as well... 5 percent is not much to overcome this early in the cycle. If Cain can outlast 3 or 4 other candidates, this will bump him well over 40%. The Obama administration must be soiling their undies right about now.

[pburgh01]

Considering the rule for undecideds breaking 3-1 to the challenger, this poll is horrid news for Oblameo. Dick Morris said it best, incumbent Presidents are like wives, if you are asked about if you want to stay married and you are undecided, well you do the logic.

[xkaydet65]

13 months out, but if the Dick Morris formula that at least 2/3rds of undecideds go for the challenger is valid then the haloed one is in huge trouble.

[kevao]

Yes, we Cain!

[taildragger]

You know, it would be quite the debate....

It would be like the elder wise father coming down hard on the petulant child.

It would be a B*tch slapping of epic porportions....We have not seen such a display since General Honore and his stuck on stupid retort...

[ZULU]

Again, a lot of the negatives here are from die-hards supporting other candidates in the primary fight.

HOPEFULLY, ALL of us will pull together REGARDLESS of political purity once a nominee is selected, and do EVERYTHING WE CAN to flush that bastard out of the Oval Office in the General Election.

[astuddis]

The calls for Hillary! will become more frequent and more emphatic.

[SueRae]

The only SHOCK is that Herman Cain doesn’t have him by double digits....but give him time. :-)

This news, along with Florida setting up it’sprimary vote in January...Establishment heads are rockin’ this morning.

Isn’t this great!?!

[The Sons of Liberty]

The only "shock" to me is that Hussein is ahead of Herman!

FUBO GTFO! 480 Days until Noon Jan 20, 2013

[AD from SpringBay]

And most of the country hasn’t even heard of Cain...

That's right. Now watch the rush to paint him with sound bytes and oft-repeated montages. He'll be the not-so-bright pizza guy.

[xzins]

Cain had this to say about gun control:

Cain’s view on the Second Amendment is completely at odds with the mainstream conservative Republican position, in that, Cain favors state level gun control legislation..

“… yes, that (gun legislation) should be a state’s decision.”
June 7, 2011 , An interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer

Found at: http://2012.presidential-candidates.org/Cain/Gun-Control.php

[Boardwalk]

They will try to paint him as the not so bright pizza guy just as they have painted the Chosen Won as a genius of epic proportions....JUST WAIT UNTIL THE DEBATES!!

[cuban leaf]

You just like Cain over Obama because you are a racist!

Oh, wait...I just saw his picture.

[TSgt]

Oh I’m giddy with excitement for the POTUS debates.

“The One” has got to be dreading them. It’s easy your first term because you don’t have a record and can promise the world. Once you have a record like Obama it can only be a brutal public flogging.

[Sooth2222]

“I support the Second Amendment … I support, strongly support, the Second Amendment. I don’t support … onerous legislation that’s going to restrict people’s rights in order to be able to protect themselves as guaranteed by the Second Amendment …”

[TSgt]

SNL joked about Hermain Cain and made him appear stupid. The guy playing “Shep Smith” said, “and now to those candidates who will never be elected president.

Cain for POTUS
VP ?
Allen West for SECDEF
Sarah Palin for Chief of Staff

[xzins]

You forgot the part where he said STATES can restrict gun rights with legislation.

[Beagle8U]

You will also find past support for affirmative action. Hardly a conservative position.

Add in promoting the fairy tax, which has now morphed into 999 as a first step.

Put together I doubt his current popularity will last once folks start checking.

I do like Cain though and would pull the handle for him if it came to that. It wont.

[Boardwalk]

Newt may have possibilities too as VP.

[mjp]

Libtards who vote for Hussein are racists because Hussein is half white and Cain is black.

[hsalaw]

Ditto.

[Southern Magnolia]

The more people see and hear Cain and know about his track record, the more they like him.

[bcsco]

The calls for Hillary! will become more frequent and more emphatic.

Will the democrats want to dump a Black sitting president for a White woman if the GOP candidate is a Black?

[Netizen]

I like a Cain/Gingrich ticket. Just not sure if Newt would accept a VP spot.

[TSgt]

I understand your concerns. That said, I would vote for this cat turd before I would stay at home, not vote and let Obama win a second term. I'm not a party guy but there's too much at stake in this election not to support the GOP candidate.

Anyone, anything but Obama.

[Tomato lover]

My husband and I are on-board the Cain Mutiny!

Go Herman, we will be proud to vote for you. If your name is not on the ballot, it will be when we leave the voting box.

Read my tagline, please.

[meatloaf]

Brutal is good ... for Obama.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Amen, and bless you for making sense - too many here like to pretend they’re pure so they’ll have something to selfishly brag about as Rome burns.

[xzins]

Cain seriously worried me when he said his choice for vice president would be Mitt Romney.

[ari-freedom]

2 georgians on the same ticket?

[Sooth2222]

You forgot the part where he said STATES can restrict gun rights with legislation.

Cain still sounds better n' Chris Christie on the 2nd! (NYC's Sullivan Act goes back to 1911 and in all seriousness it's gonna be an ice age in Hell before you can walk into a NYC WalMart and buy a machine gun!)

[Prokopton]

You forgot the part where he said STATES can restrict gun rights with legislation.

And indeed they can. "Right to carry" victories were in the state legislatures, not Federal Courts.

[Beagle8U]

I didn’t hear that. I might have to rethink that ‘pulling the handle’ part.

I refuse to ever vote for any ticket with worthless liberal bastard Romney on it. I don’t care who he is running against.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Pretty good for first poll.

Everyone knows Barack Husein is President, not many know who Herman Cain is.

[kristinn]

Story now at the Daily Caller:

Herman Cain trails President Barack Obama by a mere five points in a head-to-head match up, according to a Rasmussen poll released Wednesday.

In a poll of 1,000 likely voters, 34 percent said they would vote for Cain, while 39 percent said they would vote for Obama. Fourteen percent said they would vote for another candidate, and 14 percent said they were not sure.

Of all the candidates polled in general election match-ups with Obama, Cain holds the president to his lowest percentage of the vote in the past month. No other candidate holds Obama to below 40 percent of the vote in Rasmussen’s September polling. Ron Paul had Obama at 39 percent, taking 38 percent of the vote in August, but in a poll released Wednesday, Obama now leads Paul by 10 percentage points: Forty-four percent to 34 percent.

Black voters break in favor of Obama in the poll, with 76 percent saying they would vote for him and just 3 percent saying they would vote for Cain. Twenty percent said they were not sure.

SNIP

[sand lake bar]

I just sent him a few bucks!

[xzins]

It was at the last debate. It’s probably on the web someplace. Romney was his first choice, he said, if Romney would choose at that time to support Cain’s positions.
