Two caveats: 1) The MOE is 5% in each poll, so some of the leads such as in SC and IA aren't definitive proof of anything and 2) there's still double digit undecideds in each state. However, Romney polling as high as he does in the aforementioned states plus crushing FL doesn't bode well for a protracted primary season.

The real takeaway might be that the Herman Cain Train has pulled into the last station, but who knows, he might still have some fight in him before he begins his new career at 10PM weeknights on Fox News. However, as I said in the crystal ball thread, if Romney gets Iowa, it's a done deal.




Also, look at Ron Paul slowly trudging up. And yet the lamestream media still ignores him. A travesty.

I don't believe it. Although vanilla is a popular flavor, there are better options.

Agreed, if you look at those numbers, Paul is actually doing much better than Perry, but clearly the media coverage does not reflect that.

The lamestream media is humping Ron Paul's leg this year now more than ever.

What are you talking about?

Hardly, I listen to and watch a lot of political coverage and the overwhelming majority of it focuses on Romney, Perry, and Cain. Paul does get more coverage than last year, but nowhere near those other three, and the coverage is quite often cynical rather than serious in terms of him being a legit contender.

Fox News is still reporting that Cain leads in all of the polls...lol. I realize they are talking about a couple of national polls, but they have mentioned nothing of the state by state polling that clearly shows Romney pulling away...at least this week. They are so full of crap it is unreal.

I saw Ron Paul on Bret Baer's show tonight. He held his own. He's kind of cute.

Does it make anyone wonder why Perry is getting the most coverage when he basically has tanked???

Default Romney no better than '08, no match for Obama

Republicans don't appear to be embracing Romney. He is the choice by default simply because the other candidates are bigger rejects. Romney has no substance and flip-flops on positions depending on who he's talking to. He may lead in teh polls, but he's not dominating them.

The more people look at Romney, the worse he looks. He's a pure airhead. Above all, Romney stands absolutely no chance against President Obama.
