The Gingrich surge begins in Iowa, but not at the expense of Cain. Herman the Harrasser still is the frontrunner for the GOP nomination at 22%. In second place is…. Newton Three Wives Gingrich at 18%!!! Establishment favorite and serial flip flopper Mitt Romney is THIRD at 15%, and Bachman and Paul both get 11%.
“Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich were on stage together in what was billed as a classic Lincoln-Douglas style debate. As I sat and watched the entire event, I came away with one vivid impression: Did I just finish watching the Republican presidential ticket in 2012? Cain/Gingrich? Don’t laugh. It could happen. Romney has a ceiling of support and Rick Perry seems stuck in neutral.”
“Herman Cain’s poll numbers continue to impress and like Ronald Reagan, he seems to have a Teflon quality to him. Gingrich is steadily rising in the polls due to the fact that voters are starting to realize that this guy is REALLY smart and is an idea factory. Could this be a ticket that provides both style and substance?”
Tomorrow looks to be a great day in Ohio. Public Policy Polling (PPP) found that 59 percent of voters oppose SB 5, and will vote to reject that bill tomorrow during the referendum, while just 36 percent plan to approve it during Tuesday’s election.
“What might be most remarkable about the 23 point margin in this poll is that it’s exactly identical to what we found the first time we polled on this issue all the way back in March,” PPP’s Tom Jensen noted. “Voters were furious then and that anger has continued all the way to November.”
It couldn’t happen to a “nicer” party.
This gave me a laugh:
