Liar, that exit poll showed the most of the support for Powell came from Clinton's camp.The total numbers gave Cain a 4 point lead and showed 25% support. But again, that was just one poll. In some others, Romney was on top. On average, Cain's lead was half of one percent.His lead was not as strong as you claim. You're looking at just one poll, and a subset at that. Looking at all the polls, Cain led Romney by just half of one percentage point on the same date of the CBS/NYT poll you posted.I never said every other vote would go to other candidates. I said you have no evidence Cain would have secured the Republican nomination.The members are still 32%. Not enough to win a nomination."Front runner status. IF hte primary votes had been held on that day, he would have been the candidate."LOLOLOLDifferent poll. Just NH. That's all you've got? Sorry to burst your bubble but NH does not speak for all Republicans. Not even close. Admit it. You're done. You've got nothing.
Buchanan was deemed too disgusting but Trump is now just dandy. When will Republicans support a Black candidate? No time soon. That's for sure.Buchanan is what Powell is not: a leader of culturally extremist forces. He is a Beltway talk-show warrior who thrives on conflict, not on solving problems.
On the other hand, when will the Democrats support a truly progressive candidate like a Bernie or a Tulsi? No time soon. That's for sure.
As I demonstrated repeatedly, republicans supported a black candidate in 96
There were other times that republicans supported black candidates. Here is another. This guy I personally liked MORE than Powell.
Herman Cain tops Mitt Romney in latest CBS/NYT poll
Former Godfather's Pizza CEO takes 25 percent to Mitt Romney's 21 percent as Rick Perry plunged to just 6 percent supportwww.cbsnews.com
"Cain garnered 25 percent support of Republican primary voters in the poll released on Tuesday, compared to Romney's 21 percent. "
"Cain's support surged among voters who identified with the conservative Tea Party wing of the Republican party, rising to 32 percent in mid-October from 18 percent just a few weeks ago. That's more than four times the level of support he had from the group in mid-September. "
Funny how his support is from the conservative side of the party. It is almost as if the lefty stereotypes of the republicans is just completely wrong.
Dumbshit -- 25% of Republicans supported Cain according to that poll.
AND it was 4 months before the election, rendering it meaningless.
Front runner status. IF hte primary votes had been held on that day, he would have been the candidate.
Things unfortunately changed before the actual voting, but the thing that changed was not his race.
This poll disproves the claim that the reason for the lack of republican candidates is racism.
BY ITSELF it does that. COmbined with the rest, and it reveals your position to be absurd.
But the primaries were not held on that day, rendering your claims imaginary. And had he run, one by one those other candidates would have started dropping and you possess zero evidence Cain would have garnered a majority to win the Republican nomination.
I can't recall it ever working out that way. That is sort of what moderates in the GOP hoped would happen with Trump, as the field narrowed, that some "NOT TRUMP" candidate would get ALL the votes freed up as candiates dropped out, and end up winning. Did not happen.
It is sort of what we conservatives hoped would happen to stop McCain, back in 2008. DIdn't happen.
And I don't recall any strong anti-Cain movement at the time. Maybe a little from the Establishment who did not like how conservative he was.
You are the one ignoring the numbers and trying to explain away the information we do have, so that you can hold on to you negative assumptions about people you hate.
Err, you made that point last post. I addressed it. Your scenario that every other vote would go to some "stop Cain" candidate is you coming up with an unlikely scenario to explain away numbers that disprove your dearly held belief in Evul Wacist Republicans.
His strong lead is evidence that he would have. You are the one with "no evidence" to support your unlikely scenario.

I am not just looking at the subset. I posted both the total numbers and the breakdown. (And it was more than half a point. )
BUT, it is relevant in a world where you liberals like to pretend that conservatives are all Evul Wacists,
that Cain's base was among conservatives.
So that's what you've shown -- at least ¼ of Republicans are not racist.
If you losing 3 out of 4 voters, before you even get a listen on your platform, you won't get to frontrunner status.
Colin Powell, would not have gotten over 50 % of the votes in the exit poll, if he was losing, half the republcans.
Your fantasy of yourself as a Hero fighting Evul Wacism, is more something that belongs in some type of historical fantasy game, not a political discussion site.
