HERMAN CAIN STILL ON TOP INSPITE OF NEGATIVE MEDIA

The latest New York Times CBS News poll has Herman Cain moving form a tie with Mitt Romney in the October 3 poll to a 4 point lead with 25% over Romney's 21%. Newt Gingrich still holds the third position with Rick Perry in fourth but fading from the earlier poll.

The media in their continual love affair with Mitt Romney as well as the Obama camp calling him the candidate they need to beat which translates into the candidate they KNOW they can beat, Herman Cain not only holds the lead after a very negative media coverage over the last couple of weeks but has gained 8 points since the October 3 poll.

Unlike Romney or Perry, Cain is still connecting with voters and as such voters are showing more support for him on almost a daily basis. If one were to listen to the pundits and of course the establishment Republicans who want Romney, Cain is still only a flash in the pan. Yet when each poll comes out Romney is stagnating while Cain is gaining and leading over Romney.

Listening to the above video provides a perfect example of the media love affair with Romney. The poll clearly shows Cain in the lead picking up much more than Romney as compared to the October 3 poll, but the reporter and pundits speak only momentarily about Cain while dwelling on how, "steady," Romney is and what Rick Perry needs to do to win.

The more one listens to the establishment Republicans and the media pundits the more obvious it becomes that the strong conservative message of Herman Cain scares them as it did in 1980 when Reagan's conservative message bucked the establishment, connected with the people and propelled him into The White House as the peoples choice for President. Herman Cain is following in the footsteps of Reagan as he too connects with the people and is gradually but surely becoming the people's choice for President.
