Cain is still leading in national polls. Kornacki asks for patience:
[I]t can take a while for the critical coverage and commentary that Cain is now facing to sink in and fully register in polls. Recall that the first survey released after Perry’s most widely-panned debate performance on September 23 still put the Texan in first place, by seven points. The scrutiny on Cain is not letting up; he’s currently in a war of words with Karl Rove, who has been questioning his seriousness as a candidate. So let’s see how Cain is holding up when the next wave of data is released later this week and early next week.
Daniel Stone catches Cain in a tax snafu here. I regard Cain's dominance as just the latest sign of the degeneracy on the American right. He's the ultimate candidate for a Palinized party: based on talk radio, uninterested in government, ruled by unreason, propelled by resentment, fixated on power. Maybe Cain is the dynamite to reveal this circus masquerading as a political party as the farce it has become.
