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 you base your opinion on what?
And what if Cain comes through with the polygraph and is
innocent? Could
turn this race real quick.
Don't know much about polygraphs, eh? They're bull****.
