LOL, nice try.

There were several news articles the morning that email came out on Cain leading the Rasmussen poll — I know because I read it in several places.

Apparently Rasmussen put up the wrong poll for a short time and then corrected it.

A lot of people had to backtrack on that information, and this was not the campaign’s fault.

Maybe you need reminding of your own words, when talking about Gingrich’s amnesty stance:

“You all realize that there is no perfect candidate on that stage? They all have warts. At the end of the day the chosen candidate will be a compromise.”

I've seen no evidence that Rasmussen was the source of this error. The source of the error was presumably a faulty Newsmax article.

Just another crippled attempt by Cain to mislead (I’m being kind), his supporters.

Sorry Mr. Cain, I just sent another $100 to the next “real” president, Newt Gingrich.

The initial feed came from newsmax, and the othercain dude that is talked about in the article said that he checked the actual release from Rasmussen and it was identical to what Newsmax put out. He even made the initial mistake too.

B/S and you need to quit your cheap personal insults/attacks and your damn lying. I know you won’t, you will continue to spam away even after Cain drops out, which should be soon.

Cain doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of getting the nomination and even less at winning the election..... and smart people already know that.

He had his chance and blew it... even he is starting to sound like he realizes this.

Cheers.....

It's NEVER the campaign's fault.

This wasn't Rasmussen's fault. It appears to have been a transcription error at NewsMax -- they left a paragraph in from an article about the November 2nd Rasmussen poll when they posted their article about Rasmussen's November 20th poll.

The Cain team apparently doesn't subscribe to Rasmussen, and so they didn't have the Rasmussen poll information, and just went off what NewsMax said.

Other "news articles" were just blogs either reporting the Newsmax information, or more often were reporting the e-mail information from the Cain campaign as if it was news.

This isn't the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd time that the Cain team has used bad internet information and taken bad action based on it. This is a serious problem for a person who wants to be President -- acting on faulty information leads you to disastrous results when you command a military.

But just keep going on making excuses for why the Cain Campaign seems to suffer from things that no other campaign seems to suffer from.

You know, CT, I didn't even bother reading past this line, because you spew the same old talking points day after day. In your case it is ALWAYS the campaign's fault.

NOTHING Cain's campaign does is good enough for you because he is not your candidate and you have found what you believe to be the ideal talking point against him. You cannot argue against him on the issues, so you try to make it about other things.

FYI - I actually believe the campaign has made mistakes *gasp*. I know that flies in the face of your meme that we worship Cain and his staff. People can have different ways they would do things, but on things that matter, I still see eye to eye with Cain, and I TRUST his character, more than any other candidate running.

Nothing has happened has shaken my belief that he is a man of principle. It's too bad more people don't see that as an overarching quality in a President. We would be better off if they had.

Would you like it better if I blamed it on Cain?

I can argue against Cain on the issues, but in this thread we are talking about the campaign snafu. I try to stay on-topic, I know that isn’t considered the “cool” thing to do around here.
