Cain surges to the top in latest TheDC/ConservativeHome Tracking Poll

What a difference a debate makes.

Businessman Herman Cain is the big winner in the latest Daily Caller/ConservativeHome presidential primary tracking poll, surging forward to become a top contender, despite generally being considered an underdog.

This month’s tracking poll asked only three questions: “Who would be your top pick for president?”; “Who would be your second choice for president?”; and “Who do you think is the most electable in 2012?”

Cain, the CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, is usually talked about as something of a fringe candidate: likeable, but with little chance at actually winning the nomination. But in the first GOP primary debate earlier this month in Greenville, S.C., Cain performed very well, and a focus group conducted by Frank Luntz declared him the winner. His debate performance seems to have helped him immensely.

Cain jumped to the top of the pack in terms of electability, taking 13 percent of the vote in the tracking poll, compared to the mere 3 percent he got last time. That puts him right behind New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie – ever the favorite, even though he says he won’t run — who attracted 19 percent of the vote and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who gets 17 percent, a slight drop from the last poll.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Spelling, MSB, spelling.... [/spelling Nazi]

Herman Cain has one thing I consider a "problem". That is that he has had liver cancer and colon cancer. Even though he's been cancer free for five years, one can bet their asses on the fact that the Liberal media will play on this fact and play it hard. Cain needs to pick a running mate for VP that is as strong & powerful of a leader as he is.

Bachmann is on his short list. He likes Rubio and West, but says they've vowed to stay put and finish their terms.

Same here. At first I thought he'd be a fringe candidate, but he's strong and there's such a vacuum in the Republican party right now.
