‘Morning Joe’ Elevates Jon Huntsman — But Not a Word About Herman Cain

It was a busy weekend for potential GOP Presidential candidates:

  1. Mitch Daniels sent his regrets via email late Saturday night.
  2. Tim Pawlenty made his candidacy official via the online ad that also took a few shots at President Obama.
  3. In front of an enthusiastic, hometown crowd of 15,000+ Herman Cain made his announcement in an inspiring speech at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, GA.  (TheBlaze covered the announcement and the entire speech is also posted here.)

Most of this was not lost on the folks at MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

The opening segment  of Monday’s MoJoe (also replayed at 8am) was all about the newest GOP candidates. Well, almost all of them. The crew spent considerable time singing the praises of Jon Huntsman, questioning Mitch Daniels’ midnight email, while completely ignoring the Cain announcement. Why? We present the clip so you can review for yourself.

(CONTENT WARNING: This clip contains the usual Mika eye-rolling, and NY Times financial writer Andrew Ross Sorkin being asked a question about Huntsman, but he thinks they are still talking about Tim Pawlenty.)

The journalists at MSNBC must have missed the latest data from the polls.  A Zogby survey taken earlier this month confirms viability of Herman Cain as a candidate:

Herman Cain trails only Chris Christie as the top choice among Republican primary voters in the race for the 2012 Presidential nomination. Mitt Romney ranks fourth, but voters see him as the most likely nominee by a wide margin over the rest of a 13-person field.

Gallup’s polling data shows that Cain may not have the name recognition of the top three candidates, but those who do know him have a powerful response to a Mr. Cain.

So why why why, especially on the Monday following his announcement in front of a large and enthusiastic crowd, why is MSNBC blind to Herman Cain’s candidacy? Playing the Race Card here would be easy. So I won’t do it.

    If the drive-by media is ignoring candidates, those are the ones I will pay closest attention to. They are not in the mushy-comprimising middle (the Nancy Pelosi “shared values theory”). They have principles, both economically and socially (yes I said it…socially) which matter and are filled with common sense.

      I agree… why not give respect to those who have actually thrown their hat in the ring and have put themselves courageously on the line. Then, if someone else gets in, that can be respected too. The Republican machine is ticking me off — they don’t like being usurped by the people any more than the dems do. …It’s why we NEED to do it. Prove to BOTH parties, WE will pick our candidate, from amongst those who have the guts to get in because THEY have a fire to do so, not because the “machine” has anointed them. Pawlenty, Cain, Santorum, Paul, Johnson, though I have my favorite still have my respect for getting out there and laying it on the line. I will respect THEM first! The Republican machine should respect US.

    I saw and listened to Herman Cain as he kicked off his presidential campaign yesterday. I was thorughly uplifted and really inspired by his intelligence, understanding and ability to communicate his vision and message. Here is a candidate that I believe we really need to check further into and seriously consider backing. If he is the one to back, and I am hoping he is, we all must show the republican hirarchy that, “ name recognition” is easily achieved if the messanger is correct and worthy. Herman Cain seems to be more than qualified.

    The mainstream media would LOVE to run Huntsman against Obama. It would pretty much guarantee an Obama victory. That said, ixnay on aincay. His flat tax is more wealth distribution, his support of Affirmative Action makes him anti-TEA Party. Sad to say, Herman is a Trojan Horse.

      oh STOP already…this trojan horse thing is pathetic and getting so so old. Either you simply forgot your Ron Paul 2012! signature ..or you’re a troll . You aren‘t correct on Cain’s stand on affirmative action. So most likely you aren’t correct on anything about him.

      “Cain is adamantly pro-life. He is anti-affirmative action. He stood against an extension of prescription-drug benefits, noting that the benefit was bound “to become another massive entitlement program that is destined to fail and burden the next generation;” and he has stated his dedication to the Second Amendment, to Social Security reform, and to abolishing the current tax code. It appears, as Cain himself noted in a Washington Post article this weekend, “If you want to define conservative, I’ll spell it for you: C-A-I-N.”

      You have hit the nail on the head. Who needs experience in politics? Anyone with integrity, common sense and the ability to surround themselves with the best minds and can evaluate all of the facts and make a decision that will benefit all Americans. Herman Cain is as close as they have in the running presently and I venture to say he does not even know people like Obama’s friends like Andy Stern, Richard Crumpka, Bill Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn and George Soros.

      If you don’t they will just say he is a FOX candidate and people will not take him seriously unless they see the support on the streets…..ie: bumper stickers….

      I learned after the McCain fiasco that the lame stream media will “push” or consistantly “report” on the GOP candidate who they feel will be closest to their agenda. Thus you will see them talk alot about Romney and Huntsman and quote skewed polls to try and set one of them up as the nominee so they can minimize the damage to their agenda if Obama loses. Don’t let them use this technique again. Wake up and warn people. When you see a Dem. pundit or a GOP establishment pundit saying “Romney and Huntsman are the biggest threats to Obama”, just laugh and say “rrrrriiiighght” and know they are both terrified of a true conservative candidate! GO Cain!!

      I‘m afraid of Herman Cain because he worked for the Federal Reserve and said it doesn’t need to be audited, before flip flopping and migrating towards Ron Paul’s stance.

      The extent to which they were fawning over Jon Huntsman gave me a feeling they were having a gay moment, not that there is anything wrong with that.

      The fact that MSNBC ignores Herman is an act of racism. But as we all know it was the liberal Democrats who were pro slavery, pro segregation and they started the KKK. So what do you expect? Somehow they always seem to ignore that part of their own history. It was the conservatives that ended slavery. It’s fact and it is indisputable.

      .
      Jon Huntsman will be the darling of the media.

      They know he’s the weakest candidate.
      Hell, he works in the Obama administration now!
      Then after the primaries, they will crush him.
      “He’s a Mormon, you know, related to Romney……Oooooooo.”
      “……..and he’s a rich white guy. What does he know of your struggles?”

      the candidates they ignore are Ron Paul (except to marginalize him) and Herman Cain because they don’t know how to deal with his being a black conservative yet, don’t let the MSM or the neocon establishment tell you who to vote for! Ron Paul isn‘t just giving pep rally’s or cheerleader speeches he has real ideas, Herman Cain is a weak second at best,

      Ron Paul 2012 (Herman Cain, only if more of the same is the best we can do — and it isn’t)

      Sinasta, we ALL know that you know herman Cain was a Branch president of the Fed, and that long ago he said that there was no need for auditing/abolishing the fed, but could you explain this total disdain for Cain? Didn’t he make those statements while EMPLOYED by the fed, and speaking out against it would have cost him his job? Couldn’t his experience there be an effective tool AGAINST the fed? As far as I know, he hasn’t been asked about this issue at all, and couldn’t you wait for that question (which is SURE to come up in the debates) before berating this man to death with this? YES Ron Paul is against the fed, but what else does he bring to the table besides a near-hysterical rant? He is NOT presidential, and doesn’t even appear to have any leadership qualities whatsoever. I think Ron Paul would make a great cabinet member, but not President.
      So. Besides having once served as a fed regional president, what else do you have against Herman Cain?

      Herman Cain is a non-issue. A vanity run that would go no where is not worth coverage. Maybe he should just run off and make crappy pizza again.

      I can’t BELIEVE how skillfully you make yourself look stupid time and time and time and again on here! It almost appears on purpose sometimes, like that day I went “opposite day’ and commented on here as if i were you!
      Before Herman Cain took over Godfather’s Pizza, they were struggling to the point of almost closing business. After he left, they were something like $14B in the black, making money hand over fist.
      You just can’t do that making crappy anything.

      You fail so hard that it almost seems like success!

      Bless yer heart!

      It wasn’t “long ago” that Herman Cain made his comments defending the private bank called the Federal Reserve that he worked for. It was just this past January.

      I don’t know if he was at the Fed when he made those comments, but that wouldn‘t give me any better feeling about him if he modified his views because he didn’t want to lose his job while America is tanking to Federal Debt.

      I doubt it he has any valuable experience with the Fed, considering he wants to return to a gold standard without abolishing the Fed. And after seeing Tim Geithner (another Fed lackey) hold Congress hostage to a debt limit increase and threaten a default, I think that argument is pretty much a non sequitur.

      It’s up to you to find out about Ron Paul by doing your own research. Ron Paul is crystal clear on aspects of any policy you wish to know his views on. All you have to do is seek the information and pay attention to the words coming out of his mouth.

      His electability speaks for itself. He has been reelected 11 times, and Herman Cain has morphed to try to fit Ron Paul’s stance politically expediently. He is a Federal Reserve plant.

      As I say to my Horse, Whoa, Whoa.. First off I haven’t made up my mind. All Mr. Cain has to do is fire all of Dumbo‘s 50 plus czar’s and replace them with his. Dumbo don’t know anything either.
      Just a thought
