Twitter Poll: GOP Primary -- Week Ending 11/12/2011

The "bubble" generated by the Cain scandal seems to have burst.

But his losses may be only "negative mentions" so we'll have to wait and see whether he suffers a net loss of support since the beginning of the allegations. He seems to have gained ground over the course of the last two days.

Meanwhile, Gingrich has continued his rise into the leaders' pack:

The shape of the mention space has changed significantly. I have to admit that it may take me a few weeks to be satisfied that I know how to interpret it.

My two cents today:

1. For the first time, most political discussion centers on the GOP primary;
2. The GOP electorate is a confused, uncommitted mess;
3. Newt Gingrich is benefiting greatly from the party's confusion;
4. Ron Paul and Rick Santorum are still off in their own little world;

See y'all next Sunday.
