It's also worth noting that a month ago, Cain was still on the upward phase of his popularity curve and this poll is being taken shortly after what I believe is the peak of his popularity.<br /><br />It will be worth watching the polling trends that emerge toward the end of December, right before the actual contests are held. My suspicion is that we may get some meteoric rises and precipitous falls as we have seen for Rick Perry and less so for Michelle Bachman and are in the process of seeing for Herman Cain, but in the end, the Republican electorate will, perhaps with some reluctance, settle around Mitt Romney.<br /><br />As for Huntsman, if he had a chance of winning the nomination, it would be worth considering whether he would make a potent general election challenger. As a major component of anti-Romney sentiment in the Republican party is opposition to his Mormonism, it's hard to see Huntsman succeeding as an anti-Romney, so I agree that he's probably a non-issue.Meng Bominhttp://mengbomin.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
