Cain Slew the Able
The recent Fox/Google debate has revealed a glaring weakness in previous frontrunner Rick Perry. Evidently, he can't....debate.
Herman Cain pulled off a win at the Presidency 5 Straw Poll in Orlando, Fla., today gaining 37 percent of the 2,657 votes after wooing Florida Republican delegates with a series of strong speeches at CPAC and P5.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who stumbled through parts of Thursday’s debate, placed second, beating Mitt Romney by one and a half percent. They were followed by Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, and Michele Bachmann.
By all accounts, this is startling. Cain trounced both Perry AND Romney.
Some suggest Perry’s missteps in the debate and position on immigration may have hurt him among the party faithful in Florida.
Yah..NSS. I would be one of those 'some'.
William Breazeale, a delegate from Orlando, told ABC News he entered the weekend wanting to vote for Perry based on his jobs record but said Perry’s response to a question about in-state tuition for illegal immigrants at the debate would cost him a win at the Straw Poll.
“Rick Perry, as you’ll see, has lost a lot of conservatives in here by being pro-illegal immigration, and he can say he’s against it all he wants, but if you give benefits to any illegal aliens, you have lost the support of true conservatives,” Breazeale told ABC News.
For many of us..it's a deal breaker.
