[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 882672, member: 2189"] Speaking of donating money, everyone is noticing Herman Cain after the Florida Straw poll and on it's face it does look impressive. However, if you [URL="http://www.newser.com/story/129450/actually-straw-poll-taught-us-nothing.html?utm_medium=goognews&utm_campaign=chan3_feed"][COLOR=#ff0000]drill[/COLOR][/URL] down into the straw poll process, you learn it's a fund raiser for the Florida GOP in which they charge you $175 per shot to vote. As general indicator of Cain's mass appeal, this poll means little to nothing. It might however indicate something on the monetary side that his supporters have cash but can and will that translate into votes? All these straw polls are a measure of campaigns and their ability to rally volunteers and IMO little else should be taken from them. The GOP will paint Obama in the extreme and as a counterpoint, offer a centrist like Romney or maybe a Chris Christie if he runs. The GOP will herd the masses, they will vote the party line same as the mindless democrats do and all will go back to watching the latest offering of American Gladiator the very next day. Go back to sleep America, nothing here to see, move along, move along. We are in control! BTW Sleeve: Have you heard or have you kept up with the [URL="https://occupywallst.org/"][COLOR=#ff0000]"Occupy Wall Street"[/COLOR][/URL] protests? As we speak, plans are organizing to do similar in Chicago and occupy the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago. Be interesting to watch.
