So much for the prognostications of the pointy-headed, chin-rubbing establishment types and Reasonable Gentlemen who no longer have their finger on the pulse of the nation

Per a CBS poll, the Hermanator now leads Mitt Romney by 25 to 21, which is outside the margin of error.

East-coast media darlings, even - perhaps particularly - those who give lip service to conservative principles, no longer, if they ever did, understand how clearly most Americans - certainly most rank-and-file Republicans - grasp the urgency of our nation's situation. We will not settle for coronating the ovbvious next-in-line candidate. (For one thing, GOP heirs-apparent are always glaringly problematic.)

No one articulates that urgency as forcefully, plainly and naturally as Herman Cain, not even his fellow conservative candidates. People are starved for that kind of clarity.

Everyone needs to understand that we really mean it.
