Baggins: Says Fox News.....

Says Rasmussen. Almost the same thing, though. Also, Cain hasn't gotten the chance yet to truly embarrass himself.

Here's a blast from Rasmussen Reports in the October of 2007 (i.e. this time in the last election cycle):

Rasmussen Reports: "The most recent Rasmussen Reports data show that all of the most likely Democratic nominees lead their strongest prospective opponents. At this point John Edwards appears to be strongest in individual match-ups leading Giuliani by 9%, Thompson by 10%, and Romney by 11%. "

Man, Rasmussen is awfully accurate 13 months out. It's great living under the Edwards presidency.

I still say Giuliani would've done a better job. If only he hadn't nominated RON PAUL as his running mate...

Yeah, I'm sure he would like to try but Obama's in better shape.
 
2011-10-17 11:59:45 PM
That's racist!

I don't know about that...but it would be the funkiest Presidential run in history...

I remember the great John Edwards/Fred Thompson debates of '08.

A Rasmussen poll?

Results within the margin of error?

13 months from the election?

GAME OVER 0BAMA.

In related news, Cain able to beat Able.
 
2011-10-18 12:51:20 AM
It's more than a year out. Let's try to get a hold of ourselves.

Was this poll of some HUGE number like 400 or 800 people? There is no doubt that Obama is in trouble due to his failed presidency, but let's not get carried away.

Not in front of millions of voters who actually care. Only the party bases are really engaged in electoral politics this far out.

If we hit primary season and he hasn't A) run off the rails, or B) been given the opportunity to run off the rails, then things might start getting fun.

I'm not so sure. He didn't beat Robocop.

Poll: Cain would beat Obama with a baseball bat

That's much funnier and more true.
 
2011-10-18 02:17:22 AM
I like Herman Cain. I don't know that I like him much for president. But he is funny and interesting, I am glad he joined the ruckus.

I don't think he has too much of a chance against the Obamster, but lately he seems to have invigorated things. Judging by the number of Nein-Nein-Nein threads and hate for him you would almost think the left is wary.

I like it.

I bet you were yelling for people to be all patriotic and get behind the President when Bush was in office. Even though he actually was wrecking the country, unlike Obama.

I'm sure he's got plenty of combustibles in his closet.
 
2011-10-18 03:31:56 AM
Great Republicans. Run him. PLEASE.
 
2011-10-18 03:36:23 AM
He's black. He'll never stand the tea party's bigotry. Oh sure, they'll scream it's because he worked for the Fed, but let's face it, too many racist pricks in that group who don't even know theyre racists.
 
2011-10-18 03:37:20 AM
the republicans are very supportive of the idea of Cain being president, but refuse to give him the cash to do so.
 
2011-10-18 03:38:23 AM
No, he wouldn't.
 
2011-10-18 03:39:40 AM
I sincerely hope Herman Cain wins the nomination and goes on to win the Presidency.

We need a competent brother in the Whitehouse and not just some Chicago agitator and I say this as a proud agitator from Chicago(although admittedly not of the Obama variant).
 
2011-10-18 03:42:21 AM
Herman Cain is nothing but a social experiment. He is a product of white guilt. Conservatives are trying really hard to prove that they don't hate black people.
 
2011-10-18 03:42:58 AM
I love the parallel polls of Obama up 2 on Romney and down 2 on Cain. Totally not fake polls at all. Never mind every other outlet has a giant gap between Romney and the field in these polls.

and Rasmussen had Perry up 3 on Obama back in August. And in the last Rasmussen 'poll', Obama led Perry by 14.

it's almost like Scott Rasmussen is begging to work for Herman Cain

This is so great though, right? Racists will vote for a black man because he fooled everybody he's white. Republicans are almost as stupid as the Democrats who founded the KKK. Small bit of info, you had to be Democrat to be a member of the KKK. Funny the stuff they don't teach in schools, hehe.

Whats really funny is that you think you have a point, and that the kkk democrats of then were any different than the GOP of today.

Well to bad the Republicans then tried the "Southern Strategy" where they went after those racist white votes and now those racists white in the south who used to vote Democrat now vote Republican.

Want to teach us more about the "Southern Strategy" the Republicans used in the south to get racist white votes and how they used the phrase "state rights" to tell states they could still do segregation even though it was against federal law?

Want some history lessons? I am ready for it. I will go much much more into detail about thee matters on how Republicans used racism in the south for political gain.

What you forget to mention is the Democratic party changed and the Republican got the racists vote away from the Democrats in the south:

In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to a Republican Party strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting anti-African American racism and fears of lawlessness among Southern white voters and appealing to fears of growing federal power in social and economic matters (generally lumped under the concept of states rights). Though the "Solid South" had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold due to the Democratic Party's defense of slavery prior to the American Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern Democrats stopped supporting the party following the civil rights plank of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering the Dixicrats), the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.

You really wanted to go through the history so lets do it!

You fail to mention LBJ and other Democrats pushed for civil rights and the Republicans used this to go after the White racist vote in the south that the still have today.

Nixon's strategist admits they went after the white racist vote:

Although the phrase "Southern strategy" is often attributed to Nixon political strategist Kevin Phillips, he did not originate it,[2] but merely popularized it.[3] In an interview included in a 1970 New York Times article, he touched on its essence:

From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.[4]


YELLOL are you this knowledgeable about history? You think the south is a huge bastion of white voters who vote democrat? That's what you are trying to tell us. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Twist the history as much as you like, the fact is that southern democrats opposed civil rights since forever.

When the right-wing shills on Fark are advising caution, it shows that the poll is REALLY suspect.

What history am I twisting?


You tell us then you think you are the History expert:

WHAT WAS Kevin Phillips "Southern Strategy"?

Do you think more southern whites vote Democratic or Republican? How did they vote PRE-Civil Rights/Southern Strategy?

DO you think more Racists voted for Obama?



You say you know more about this then us. So you answer these questions for us.
 
2011-10-18 04:06:03 AM
YELLOL these are some real easy questions to answer. Very basic stuff.

Waiting for your incite. Also you have history or Poly Sci major? Just want to know how you became much learned then the rest of us about this topic.

Yes, run him. Muahahahaha!

I find it humorous that people still fall for common racist messageboard tricks.

The KKK was founded by Democrats. For effs sake you couldn't even be a member if you were republican or catholic. Why do you think this was? Because they didn't believe in Global Warming?
