22% Romney
14% Cain
  6% Paul
  6% Perry
  4% Bachmann
  2% Huntsman
  2% Santorum
19% Undecided

I wonder if Cain can still win some contests.... he's fallen hard but not "Perry hard".

Perry didn't fall "Perry hard" either. He slowly declined over a long period of time. Cain's been out of the lead and the spotlight for barely a week; he'll be in mid-single digits by Christmas.
