CBS News Poll analysis by the CBS News Polling Unit: Sarah Dutton,
Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus and Anthony Salvanto.

Four out of ten Republicans believe Mitt Romney would be the most likely
candidate to beat President Obama in the general election, according to
a new CBS News poll.

Romney, who has lingered at or near the top of the polls since the
beginning of the 2012 presidential race, led Herman Cain CUT by a 2-to-1
margin with 40 percent support.

Cain trailed in the category with just 20 percent, followed by Newt
Gingrich and Rick Perry, each with six percent. Thirteen percent of
respondents said they didn't know which candidate was most likely to
beat Mr. Obama.

Electability, however, was not most Republicans' top priority when
selecting a candidate: 58 percent said they believe it's more important
to have a nominee who agrees with them on the issues than one who can
beat Mr. Obama next year. Thirty-nine percent said the opposite.

Love it.


Game, set, match.



I'm not sure what the point is of having a candidate who agrees with you
on all the issues rather than one who disagrees on some but who has a
chance of getting elected but, hey, if the Repubs want to nominate a
loser like Gingrich, Cain, or Perry, it's fine with me.



And what if Cain comes through with the polygraph and is innocent?
Could turn this race real quick.

Gingrich is part of the DC inner circle of corruption. Tea Party should
just beak off and form their own right now. Perry is just another clown
from the old boys network. Only two viable left are Cain and Bachmann.
And Cain needs to fight these accusations or he is out.

Sad state is shaping up in the next election. You can choose any pony
you want from the ponies presented to you from the corrupt back room
boys club.

DC needs fresh faces.
