    I don't think you exactly understand. The Florida 5 straw poll has predicted the eventual winner of the nomination since it's inception.
    It's kind of a big deal.

    Wish this were true. Libs are vicious toward any minorities that go off the plantation, be it women, blacks, latinos, or even homosexuals. They feel like they own them, and try to make examples out of defectors.

    That said, love Herman Cain!

    Just out of curiosity, who's your candidate of choice?

    I love Herman Cain too.

    Obama would stomp him like a rat in the closet.

    No, that would be his dick, because the light was turned off.

    I will vote for Obama because GOP candidates do not represent most of my stances and principles on the issues. However, if another Democrat challenges Obama (highly doubt it), I would vote for him/her. Regardless, I will be voting in the 2012 election. It is my patriotic duty to vote. Unfortunately, Obama is my lesser of the two evils. Obama's vision may be the wrong direction for this country, but I consider the current Republican candidates' versions even worse.

    Sure they could, but only because they are all a bunch of racists.

    I said a few times over the last year,I'd vote for Condi Rice as President.
    I used to like Colin Powell until he showed his true colors.I can't
    stand Powell now.
    I like Alan Keyes but he's too talky.I like Clarence Thomas.
    I think Booker T. Washington was a genius.
    It is not my fault that Blacks have a huge predisposition to
    choose a black over a white no matter what.I think they have
    developed that over the years and have been effectively brainwashed.
    That is one of the Liberal success'.
    The Ward Connerly,Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams of this Country
    are becoming fewer and fewer.Highly motivated and almost self-taught
    Blacks who can't be pigeonholed into some Liberal's fantasy world
    of White Man as Great Oppressor.
    Just look at the Congressional Black Caucus.
    Cain just isn't a Politician or an Intellectual.

    We shall see, his momentum just improved dramatically. He is not smarmy like most politicians, and that is one of my reasons for liking him.

    Him and Gingrich were the only candidates I could stand listening to in the debate. Santorum was also tolerable, as was Romney as was Bachmann. But only Cain and Gingrich had charisma. One of the reasons I'm hoping christie gets in. Presidents need this (among many other things). Obama doesn't have it, it turns out. Put one of these guys next to him, and it will be painfully obvious, even to his supporters.

    Obama's charisma during the 2008 election was what convinced many people to vote for him. I guess Republican charisma is legitimate, while Democratic charisma is political pandering.

    No, the proof is in the pudding, just look at Obama's poll numbers drop. Quicker than Monica Lewinski's panties.

    A lot of folk though they were voting for Jack Kennedy. The Harvard education and finger pointing gott'em. Well clearly, Obama is not Jack and Michelle is certainly not Jacquie inspite of the "elegant" campaign. She is a big gal.

    Fair enough.
    I personally feel this Country Needs a Newt Gingrich.He would be
    perfect as President.Literally Perfect.That is why the Democrats and
    Liberals have invested so much time and energy in destroying him.
    I fail to see how his Love life can be so important given the guy wasn't
    a masher/harasser like Bill Clinton.J.F.K. didn't go a day w/o
    screwin' some piece of ass.

    Gingrich is the best of the group except for one minor detail. He cheated on his wife while she was sick with cancer. Then he divorced her. Big time character flaw. That and he's too much of a capitalist. ie. he used the nominating process last time as a means to sell more books without any real intention of running.

    Obama had speech charisma but his extemporaneousness was always lacking. And now his speeches are proving to be annoying, even to his fans. The country has heard enough of them and become indifferent, given the whole tele-prompter thing. But McCain wasn't much better on this feet.

    Forgiveness is possible, even for you. I have a feeling he might be VP.

    Herman Cain wants all bills to be smaller than 3 pages. What an idiot.

    I'm pretty sure he is just making it easier for the educated folks like you who oppose him can read it easily without any problems.

    Are you even aware of how many pages an entire US constitution fit on?

    I could care less about charisma. I merely care about legislation and written proposals, it's substance, and how conducive it is to working in practice. Although I'm a center left liberal, I'm a brain trust liberal. It's one of the many reasons why I respect Paul Ryan.

    Well, Herman Cain is a real black man, unlike Obama who is as Oreo as they come.

    Mr. Cain is an ACCOMPLISHED black man, unlike Bobo that attained his station through racist actions and associations.

    If you think the only real qualification for being a good leader is to be a politician or an intellectual(read haavaad) then I feel sorry for you.
    Yeah you're a man of the people alright.

    LOL, you had to misquote me to make it somewhat appear that there was a contradiction and merely demonstrated your own ignorance in the process.

    You never let me down, Billyboy...
