The poll shows Cain, who stood at just five percent support two weeks ago, now holding 17 percent support among Republican primary voters. That puts the former Godfather's Pizza CEO into a tie with Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, whose support has essentially held steady over the past two weeks.

Willard? No Way. Cain all the way. I’m voting for him......................unless Sarah runs.
Why, oh, why is Mitt still in the running? He is such a RINO that thinking people should have dumped him a long time ago.
........VP for Palin/Cain. Like it.
?
I wonder how Santorum and Bachmann will react.
Any Pres/VP combination of a black man and a white woman would be very tough to overcome.

After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.
■Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.

■ Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).
■ He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid).
When you add up his accomplishments in his life — including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking — Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.
Cain is doing well, and I hope he keeps it up. I wonder however what the narrative will be if Sarah is pulling 17%? Headline: PALIN AT 17%, EPIC FAIL
Your recap of Cain’s life really impresses me.
He’s a winner.
WOW! Great blues number from Philip S. Rogers
Title: Beat Obama with a Cain.

Very apt post and graphic, IMO.
This despite Mitt Romney spending zillions of dollars and running since forever. Poor Mitt Romney, he can’t even buy friends on Facebook.
for later. Good post.
He only gained 1%. The only ones that lost ground were Perry and Bachmann.
Didn’t want you to miss this. It seems like the electorate are getting smart and going with a Cain and dumping liberal Ricardo Perry and Romney. THANK GOD!!!!! We will get a conservative afterall. GO CAIN 2012!!!!!!!!!!!! Cain and Bachmann are my heroes!!!!
Actually liberal Romney has over a million friends, but liberal Ricardo Perry has 166K......now that is embarrassing. Of course liberal Obama has 50 million or more.....I could not bring myself to look.
