That sort of thinking is how we got 8 years of Bush and at least 4 years of Obama.Not getting the Cain thing. Oh well, as long as the GOP ends the Obama error I'm ALL in!

It has nothing to do with ‘hate,’ merely being in contact with reality.
And polls this far out are meaningless.
Last, if one didn’t know better, he’d think Cain’s ‘success’ was the result of a devious democratic conspiracy, because Cain is exactly who Obama would love to run against next year.

That's one poll. Romney still leads. Cain is pretty much tied with Perry now.
That said, perhaps someone who claims robe serious about running for president, shouldn't take two weeks off the campaign trail to sell his book.
Well, unless the point of running is to sell the book.

Why shouldn't he? THere are no debates or primaries in the next two weeks. This is as good a way to introduce himself to people as anything else.
For Romney, he's at the place he's always been. about 25% of the GOP want him. The same 25% that wanted him in 2008, but got beaten out when teh "Not Romney" vote coalesed around McCain.
you've never worked on a campaign, have you? he shouldn't because his competition will be working. that's why.Actually, I've worked on several. Reagan both times, GW Bush both times, a bunch of lesser actors....
the same religious loons who hate mormons will vote against romney.
Actually, I'm an atheist who won't vote for a Mormon. Ever. More to the point, Romney needs these "religious loons" to win. The Evangelicals are a key component of the GOP Coalition.
cain doesn't have broad appeal as far as i can see. he's also a bigot. people tend not to like bigots... well, except for other bigots.
I think Cain's appeal is that he's raw. He's not scripted, he's not checking with a focus group, he's just saying whatever the hell he feels like, and that resonates with people. Will it have legs? I doubt it. Does anyone care that he doesn't like Muslims? Not really.
if perry can get bac some of his flash, he could give mitt a run for his money. but i think cain's maxed out.
could i be wrong? sure. this time last presidential election cycle i would have sworn hillary was going to be the democratic nominee.
but at least i'm thinking and not engaging in wishful thinking.
I think Perry is formidable because he can raise money, and lots of people in the GOP don't like Romney for lots of good reasons. But the GOP establishment seems to be determined to force Romney down out throats, whether we want him or not.
Overall, though. It's too early. Like you said, you never know how these things are going to play out. Polls in 2007 about this time had a Rudy vs. Hillary fight, and that didn't happen.

Gary "Hanky Panky" Hart? And Weiner. You seem to have a thing for sexually dysfunctional men.Actually, I've worked on several. Reagan both times, GW Bush both times, a bunch of lesser actors....
then you should know that this isn't the time for the candidate to slack. (i worked on Hart in 87... and a lot of local races).

You realize CBS could run a poll showing George HW Bush as frontrunner if they wanted, right? You are being manipulated by the media that is trying to inject some excitement into what will be a dull race. Romney and Perry will duke it out. Perry will win. Perry will beat Obama.
But that won't sell newspapers so they have to make it look closer. Remember when the media was calling John Edwards a front runner?
Candidates Unite in Criticizing Bush

I hope your right, but I doubt it...about Perry winning that is.
Actually, I've worked on several. Reagan both times, GW Bush both times, a bunch of lesser actors....

i don't see anything in romney's history to indicate he would try to impose his beliefs on this country... unlike perry, bachmann... santorum, etc
people seeking the GOP nomination think they need religious loons to win. they don't... they should stop pandering to them.they will vote for whatever candidate the GOP puts up.
I think Cain's appeal is that he's raw. He's not scripted, he's not checking with a focus group, he's just saying whatever the hell he feels like, and that resonates with people. Will it have legs? I doubt it. Does anyone care that he doesn't like Muslims? Not really.
to me, raw means he's inexperienced and doesn't know anything yet.
i think a good part of the right likes him for the same reason they like clarence thomas... he's a black guy who spouts the party line of white corporatists.

.
perry has a lot of deficits as a candidate that seem to become clearer as people get to know him.
i don't think it's so much that they want to ram Mitt down your throats. its that they know he's the one whose polls show he could actually beat obama. last i heard, the GOP wasn't in the business of choosing candidates who can't attract a broad spectrum of voters.
