New Poll: Gingrich Now In Second Place

Polls: Gingrich Grows on GOP Voters
WSJ - Two polls out Friday show former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s campaign gaining traction. And both polls show there’s plenty of room for the race to change dramatically: 17% of respondents are undecided.

A McClatchy-Marist poll of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents finds that Mitt Romney’s poll numbers remain steady, he generally garners the support of about a quarter of the Republican and Republican-leaning voters. That puts him in the lead, with Mr. Gingrich in second and former front-runner Herman Cain close behind.

By the numbers: Mr. Romney, 23%, Mr. Gingrich, 19%, Mr. Cain, 17%,Texas Rep. Ron Paul 10%, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, 8%, and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, 5%. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum got 1% apiece.

“Romney is still where he’s been. It’s fair to say this is a battle for the anybody-but-Romney candidate,” said Lee M. Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion at Marist College. “Gingrich has now begun his 15 days of fame. Whether he is able to maintain that, as others have fallen, is the question. He may be the only one standing when this is all said and done.”

The poll shows that many voters aren’t strongly attached to their choice. Mr. Gingrich has the most-committed supporters at 43%. For both Messrs. Romney and Cain, the level drops to about 30%.

A CBS News poll shows Mr. Romney’s support slipping to 15%, putting him even with Mr. Gingrich and behind Mr. Cain, at 18%.

Blog author's comments - For Conservatives and the Republican Party the election of 2012 is a do or die situation. This election is the most important in the history of our country if we want to save the United States from being destroyed by the current President.

This link is what I presently believe concerning the GOP field for the nomination. Newt Gingrich is now moving into contention.

Obama's war machine and the MSM will of course try to devour whoever the Republican nominee may be. All the candidates who have a legitimate chance for the nomination have some baggage; there is no perfect candidate.

The liberals will do whatever is necessary in their attempt to help Obama win a second term and with it his chance to continue to turn us into a socialist country.

We must come together to see that it does not happen. At this time it is any Republican that can win -- rather than Obama.

MSNBC - Herman Cain Black Who 'Knows His Place'

MSNBC Analyst: GOP Sees Herman Cain
as a 'Black Man Who Knows His Place'
Weekly Standard - On Martin Bashir's television program Friday afternoon, Democratic strategist and MSNBC analyst Karen Finney said that Republicans are supporting Herman Cain because of his race:

"One of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy," Finney said. "I think is he giving that base a free pass. And I think they like him because they think he's a black man who knows his place. I know that's harsh, but that's how it sure seems to me."



Blog author's comments - We hear things like this said at MSNBC on a regular basis. The liberal population is growing and the far left are like sponges that absorb and enjoy the hatred which MSNBC spews towards any Republican or conservative.

Liberals will stoop to any level to demonize when they are threatened. What is pathetic is that there are people who watch this network for their political news and believe what they hear.

It's going to be a long rough year before the election of 2012. The Democratic Party has the backing of most of the media, the Unions, Acorn, Hollywood etc.

They will all do whatever it takes to help Barack Obama win a second term as President. They could not stand to see him forced to leave the White House as a failure, which is exactly what he is.

Herman Cain - Talks About Black Americans

Herman Cain: Many black Americans are brainwashed


Blog author's comments - Herman Cain has done well in the debates and seems to be drawing more attention. I agree with his assessment of many black voters.

I doubt he will make any Ron Paul supporters happy after Cain was asked to give a short description of each of the GOP candidates on the Tonight show.

I don't believe Herman Cain will win the nomination. But, if he does win...I will certainly vote for him.

I think Perry and Romney are the still the front runners but I am not a fan of Romney's and I was disappointed by Perry after his statement during the last debate concerning illegals in the state of Texas.

There is still time for other candidates to enter the race. I would prefer a conservative candidate but will vote for anyone who wins the Republican nomination. Obama must be defeated in 2012 and he is definitely beatable.

Herman Cain - Would Offer Palestinians Nothing!

Herman Cain Would Offer Palestinians "Nothing" In Peace Deal
Most of us are aware of President Barack Obama's proposal that Israel should return to its 1967 borders to appease the Palestinians.

Herman Cain said: The 'Cain' doctrine is "Don't mess with Israel because if you mess with Israel you are messing with the United States."

During the Sunday morning Fox News show hosted by Chris Wallace, Herman Cain was asked, what would President Cain offer the Palestinians to make peace?

His answer: Nothing!

“Nothing, because I’m not convinced that the Palestinians are really interested in peace. If the Palestinians come to the table with Israel, with a genuine offer that the two of them can sit down and negotiate the United States would, in fact, try to facilitate that discussion. But if we look at history, it has been clear that the Palestinians have always wanted to push the Israelis, and push Israel, for more and more and more. I don’t agree with that.”

Blog author's comments - The Palestinians are not interested in peace. They are not willing to compromise in any way. President Obama, there is no point in discussing it, unless of course you want to see the demise of Israel.

Herman Cain, finally a presidential candidate with a backbone. Mr. Cain not being a career politician also makes him attractive to conservatives. But, he will not receive the backing of the Republican Party or the GOP 'blue bloods'. The Republican voters are still looking for someone to enter the race who they believe can defeat Obama in 2012.
