According to Google’s data, “four of the top 10 cities with the most searches for [Herman Cain] are major cities right in Texas.” Those would be Austin, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio.

Cain, the only candidate of color in a Republican field large enough to include two Mormons, has been climbing in the polls while Texas Gov. Rick Perry recently took a big dive.

Poll watching is akin to weather predicting, but it’s worth noting that a man who once may have been alone in believing he could win is now in a statistical tie with front-runner Mitt Romney.  —PZS

The Teapublicans in Texas are in a quandary. They are stuck with a Mormon or a Black to support. For them, it’s a question of which is the lesser of the two evils.

Cain would be the “bizzaro” world version of Obama.
Only in America.
