CAIN TAKES THE LEAD; CAN BEAT OBAMA


A recent poll by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal shows that Herman Cain is now the leader among Republicans vying for their party’s Presidential nomination.  Several polls have Cain leading and several polls are now suggesting that Cain would beat Obama. 

COMMENTS:
The Tea Parties are lining up squarely behind Cain.  They like his freshness, the fact that he has no political baggage or obligations, and his 9-9-9 plan.  Barring any unforeseen blunders, I think Cain may end up with the brass ring. However, he will need to be teamed up with someone with legislative savvy. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Who do you think should drop out of the Republican Presidential race?  (Marlin ~ Redding, CA)
A. Everyone except Romney, Cain, Gingrich and either Bachmann or Perry. 

Q. What progress is the “Super Committee” making on the economy and budget in Congress? (Benjamin ~ Elk Grove Village, CA)
A. Both Republicans and Democrats have submitted their recommendations to the Committee and made it painfully obvious that there are deep divisions between the two parties.  They are currently working on what to do about corporate taxes; Republicans are showing signs of being willing to compromise on some issues, which could be a positive sign. Nevertheless, they have a huge mountain to climb by Thanksgiving.     

Q. What kind of sanctions do you suppose the U.S. may impose against Iran?  (Amy ~ Redding, CA)
A. They will not be invited to the White House for a beer in the Rose Garden.  Whatever sanctions they come up with, they will be totally meaningless unless the United Nations backs them.  The whole world is hoping and praying that we will use this as an excuse to go and bomb their nuclear plants and we’re talking about sanctions which the U.N. will never back because China and Russia will turn them down.
