NH GOP Poll: Romney leads (but support soft) Cain strong second & Perry has pathetic 4%
A new Harvard University/St. Anselm poll in New Hampshire finds Mitt Romney leading the GOP presidential pack with 38%, followed by Herman Cain at 20%, Ron Paul at 13%, Newt Gingrich at 5%, Jon Huntsman at 4%, Rick Perry at 4% and Michele Bachmann at 3%.

However, only 10% say they are "definitely" voting for Romney.

1. Just wait until the GOP discovers Cain
is black.

They'll drop him like a hot potato.

2. No they won't...

he's the perfect vehicle to channel their racism through. They can say, "See? Even Herman Cain, who's Black, says Black people don't have any disadvantages/have a level playing field growing up in America. HE says they're brainwashed into voting for Dems."

5. Yep, for Repukes, Cain is like the guy
they refer to when someone calls them racist, and they say, "Well, I can't be racist, some of my best friends are Negroes!"

7. It is just the opposite, GOP ispushing Cain because he is black
They obviously want to break into the strongest Obama voting block.

8. Yeah, until Cain pisses off minorities with his stupid statements.
Then they'll flock to President Obama.

9. I am not that secure in that belief
with 47.7% of blacks now in middle class or ABOVE.

10. There's no way Cain would get any more of the Black vote than any other teabagger. He has
insulted them more than any other Repub. and he's purposely doing that to get the RW vote in the primary. They LOVE having him insulting Black people.

11. You could be right, I am not sure if his surge in polls
is from just repug voters or all voters. If it is just
repug voters poll, you are more likely to be right.

12. All of these Repub. primary polls are taken of Repubs. only. So don't worry. n/t

3. Anybody would of asked me a few months ago if Cain would be as strong as he is in a GOP
primary race for president I would have laughed.

4. They are desperate to find something more appealing than Retread Romney.
This Cain business will peter out very soon.

6. We need to make sure it doesn't
We need to prop up polls with Cain votes, he'll be very, very tough for the Rethugs to shake off if he's still doing about 20-30 percent in the polls in a few months.

A three way Perry-Romney-Cain split as the Rethugs head for Tampa is a good thing for us.
