...beating Romney by 16 points!

The article states that Cain leads in all age groups except for seniors, who favor Romney.

???

That's the age group that would be most hurt by Marxist Mittens, the waste of protoplasm pretending to be a Republican.

“When the survey is narrowed to Republican respondents who consider themselves likely primary voters, Cain and Romney are tied at 27% each.”

Yes, Cain may prevent Perry from getting the nomination, ensuring that Romney does. Great job!

Looks like Cain will win:

Iowa, South Carolina, and Florida.

at which point the money will start pouring in and he will sweep the south and send Romney back to Boston with his tail tucked between his legs.

I can’t wait to see Cain and Obama debate.

fixed income social security earner types would be hit harder by the 999 plan than anyone else.

I guess the poll you quoted is a different one from the one I found.

Cain leading in two polls in SC, pretty impressive.

Question is what will it mean and I maintain that it splits the anti-Romney vote, making way for Romney.

Just the same way Fred Thompson split the vote and cleared the way for McCain.

A 16 point lead on Romney isn’t splitting the vote, it’s a total annihilation of Romney.

Great news! Go Herman!

Cain bests Romney in Florida also by a margin of 34% to 28% with Gingrich bringing up third at 11%. La Raza Rick Perry is at an embarrassing single digit of 5%.

Cain's consolidated his position, and will now likely sweep the south.

Romney's has got to be crying by now

ROFL

Cain said on Huckabee that seniors would be exempt from paying taxes and Cain is also going to be adding exemptions for families living in low income minority neighborhoods so they won’t be paying as much, if any, national sales taxes either.

Rich Lowrie, Cain’s economic adviser and the architect of Cain’s 999 plan, upon complaints from Democrats that the 999 plan would tax the poor, said that they were going to “fix” that by either reducing or eliminating the taxes required by those same low income families.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/post/path-to-the-nomination-when-does-cain-face-the-heat/2011/03/29/gIQA2uvQbL_blog.html

(Excerpt)
Lowrie says it’s just “Washington thinking” to look at whether modest-income Americans will wind up shouldering much more of the tax burden. He repeatedly refused to say how much more of the tax burden would be borne by the poor and middle class than under the current system. But he implicitly acknowledged the problem by saying that the campaign would “fix this” with a new empowerment-zone plan that would be laid on top of the 9-9-9 plan and would presumably lower taxes in inner cities. But how fair is that to people living elsewhere? And aren’t we back to more complexity?

You are seriously delusional.

By your numbers, Cain is tied for first and you think he's preventing Perry from getting the nomination?

Doesn't it embarrass you to say such stupid things?

If anything third place Perry should drop out and endorse Cain to help him defeat Romney. But I can see that is too logical for you to understand; you think the man in first place is keeping the man in third from winning. Incredible.

“Cain said on Huckabee that seniors would be exempt from paying taxes “

I watched it and I don’t think he said that, nor the rest about exemptions. We better watch that video again.

Honestly, none of that matters because 999 will never pass congress.

All that matters is that people like Cain, he’s a conservative, and he is now the Romney killer, which makes Cain my new best friend :)
