Herman Cain leads by 20 points!

This poll is okay but the sample is strange, so I would not put much stock in it unless other polls show si,ilar results.

"IBOPE Zogby International conducted an online survey of 1,581 voters. A sampling of IBOPE Zogby International's online panel, which is representative of the adult population of the U.S., was invited to participate. Slight weights were added to region, party, age, race, religion, gender and education to more accurately reflect the population. The margin of error is +/- 2.5 percentage points. Margins of error are higher in sub-groups. The MOE calculation is for sampling error only.
IBOPE Zogby International also conducted an online survey of 796 likely Republican primary voters. The margin of error is +/- 3.5 percentage points."

This is what is wrong with the poll. It is no different than the call-ins or texting after a debate, when Ron Paul always wins.

Military experience is equal to political experience? If the military counts, then doesn't any leadership experience at all count as being "rather political"?

I would add General Douglas MacArthur and Charles Lindbergh as being qualified to be President.

Herman Cain = The GOP's answer to Obama. No way this guy would have a semblance of a buzz if he were white (c'mon his claim to fame is owning a pizza restaurant chain not to mention the fact he has absolutely NO political experience). He's another Michael Steele (he's the "look we got a black guy too!" guy). Even worse GOPers love to say Obama was too inexperienced but they support Cain? :confused:

I don't know why anybody is even entertaining the thought of him being Presidential material. His foreign policy is essentially "i'll see when I get there" (seriously, watch the first fox news GOP debate). I'm confident he doesn't have a chance but I never underestimate the stupidity of my fellow Americans.

Cain did not come out of nowhere. He had a radio audience for a while when he was a talk show host which I think makes up the core of his base.

Conversely, Pat Buchanan is or was qualified because of his knowledge of issues thru his journalistic career and his service in the White House under two administrations.

There is the batcrapcrazy problem. And a lack of leadership skills. Everything the dude "knows" is wrong.

Charles Lindbergh was very pro-Nazi and thought the US was on the wrong side in WWII.

Can you blame him? It has been alleged his infant son was a victim of Jewish ritual murder.

In what way has Nader loss his marbles?

His ego led him to take a course of action that would lead to the election of a president who was the antithesis of what Nader claimed to be for. I wouldn't exactly call it "losing his marbles", but it was damaging to both his causes and his reputation.

OK, so he did not play by Democratic Party rules which places him in higher standing with me. Nader always seemed to be a man of principal.

He didn't run as a Democrat, so your statement makes no sense. But he showed himself to be the opposite of a man of principle. He sacrificed the things his "principles" supported in order to make himself seem important.

So, do you support his "principles", or just the fact that he gift-wrapped the presidency for GW Bush?
 
I've never understood people's obsession with "qualified". The Presidency has restricted powers that don't correlate very well to any other job.
