Gary is gonna be very upset. He predicts a Cain GOP victory and then a Cain presidency.

Romney didn't dismantle Perry or Cain, they dismantled themselves. The passive approach may not work with Gingrich. He's already been through the whole Tiffany's thing and no one remembers anymore.

I think there are many other fun aspects of The Newt that will get the spotlight as he rises in the polls. Romney's issue is that he can't get past the low to mid 20's. His upside is that as long as the wingnuts stay put, they'll split the nutty vote and Mitt comes out ahead.

Newt will work for the anybody-but-Romney crowd. Odds are Romney will not win a single state outside of New England.

Until the Tea Party freaks realize that Newt is the ultimate Washington insider. Newt is the very establishment that they're so against.

But, he is a Southerner, and that plays much better in the rest of the country, than a Yankee would.

Serious question:

Is there an advantage I'm unaware of to Google+ vs Facebook?

I'm on FB mainly because it's where my kids hang out and my only way to keep in touch with them.

I've had a few friends send me invitations to G+ that I've ignored so far.

Am I missing anything?

I haven't used it for more than 10 minutes.

They have circles of friends so you can make posts and easily block your relatives. That is about the only difference I know that is better than Facebook.

However, I did create a Twitter account and it is a phenomenal news source. I mean just top of the line. I'm subscribed to all sorts of news agencies and bloggers that post the latest news.

Roughly every 5 seconds I get an update.

You will not find a faster place for breaking news or direct links to news articles that the person Tweeting found interesting. The second it breaks it's on Twitter. They only have to make a short headline vs. by the time an entire article is written and hits the rest of the web.

Polling is imperfect but some people waste a part of their life looking at them. Then they post them next to each other giving conflicting results and discuss the merits of each. The ones most interested are the lifeless souls that would never vote for ANY of the candidates in the poll.

Keep telling yourself that. Cain will probably end up 4th place among the GOP! He's toast! A month from now he'll be tied with Bachmann!
