Herman Cain wins Tea Party straw poll

- Jennifer of Cubachi

Herman Cain wins Tea Party straw poll in Phoenix. He certainly is an impressive candidate.

He also left a great impression among Tea Party members attending the meeting. But does this poll mean much?

Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota speech is better than Herman Cain. Cain's poll is not much. He was former a businessman. Cain doesn't enough experience in domestic and foreign policies. Sarah Palin has already announces that she is supported Cain for President. Cain won't get the nominee in 2012. It doesn't look like that Palin isn't going to run. It is exactly what Ann Coulter told Hannity other night about Palin isn't going to run. Palin is doing making her speech for a living and getting a speaking fees.

Cain is a computer geek by education, entrepeneur and Radio phenom, so I say he's a force if GOP somehow thwarts Palin and/or the so-cons.

The Republican primary schedule has IA, NH, SC and NV up first Feb. 3rd. Only proportional representation primaries allowed before April.

TPaw can get some votes in IA and NH but he and Cain will not break early into big three company.

"Ann Coulter told Hannity other night about Palin isn't going to run"

Making sense of Coulter may be a fool's errand but closet elitist is conceivable.

Obviously, while Romney would lose both the nomination and election Christie is not draftable. Why toss a throwaway line out at CPAC where it splats like a dead octopus on the ice? Perhaps to highlight the insanity of supporting Romney?

Again, anyone can see Palin is running-and has been all along-so why say otherwise on obsequious Sean's rag? To give her cover, so the blabbermouth doesn't signal the MSM?

I'm just a wee bit short of smarts to second guess Coulter, but that looks like the only likely scenario.

"Cain doesn't enough experience in domestic and foreign policies."

Which is to say, vastly more that The MEEEEEsiah...!!!!

[time to rise up]

Wow, m! I guess you're breathing in Sarah Palin's face at night. You seem to know exactly what she's doing!

[Susie Q]

Well, m, why don't you show where I can find Palin has announced she is supporting Cain for president? Link, please.

The lies, obsfucation, and outright lunacy is astounding.

*shaking head in amazement*

I like Cain, at least the few things I saw in his CPAC speech. How truly conservative is he though? Anyone got a list of positions?

[K~Bob]

Cain is improving his delivery, but I wish he'd speak in normal tones during parts of his speeches so they sound less like sermons, and delivered as such.

His pauses for applause need to be maintained with less of an expression of "soaking up the approbation" and more of one where, with samurai-like professionalism, he appears almost saddened at having to deliver such devastating blows to his opponent. For devastating they are. But he's not Bill Cosby. (He doesn't have to do the Cosby pause so frequently. I'm not saying it's all that bad, but like a guitar player with a new wah-wah pedal, it can be way overdone.)

These aren't minor things. If you are mostly delivering hot zingers in the "sermon" style, you risk looking more like the warm-up act.

I think he can do very well as a candidate if he sounds more and more presidential, moving toward the primaries.

I'm sure many folks are already talking up "The Cain Mutiny." ;)

[Ragspierre]

You can catch Cain on the Boortz program, and there may be some archives.

My recollection is that he is pretty solidly conservative, but could not give chapter and verse on his views.

I like "Raising Cain", misef.

I notice that the Pizza Man spoke at this Event that is why he won their straw poll.

See,, "m" is my other alter-ego,, the one where I try to sound like a conservative but not really oh, and I do it like I'm stoooooopid so you'll know I'm for real. You guys should really try to keep up.

cain makes me pitch a patriotic tent in my pants.

"The angry pizza vendor wowwed the teabaggers!"
uh-oh. you just referred to a black man as being "angry"?

why does guesswho hate black people?

Cain came out of the blue and tell the person who had been working her butt off for the past 2 years for the conservative cuase and took all kinds of abuse on our behalf, to step aside, and let the big guys take over from here?

That tells me enough about his mindset. Not even the slightest bit of condescension against Palin will be tolerated . Not from any potential candidate on the GOP side.

[Ricky]

It seems to me that all you need to impress Americans is a good speech. Have conservatives found their clean and articulate black man in Cain? It seems to me in this regard we are no different than liberals. The guy has not even been vetted yet...

I am an old man now and my experience from life is that my mother was right when she advised my sisters, "beware of the smooth-talking man, he will cause you nothing but heartache".

As long as America refuses to learn that lesson, they will have to live on speeches, even nowadays WTF speeches. You deserve the government you get.

Watching Ann Coulters adams apple bob makes my pants tight. Does that make me gay?

[mark l.]

According to Salvage and his many sockpuppets without regulations Billions will die and capitalism is never the answer um unless Arianna Gabor engages in it.
