The Romans had a saying, gold will not always get you good soldiers, but good soldiers can always get you gold. Same with poll numbers. If your polls stay high, the money will come flowing in. But Trump, Perot and other big money guys all proved to be a flash in the pan.
Money is like a big bank of speakers at a concert. If you are singing a song people like it helps to bring in the crowd. If nobody likes the tune, it just annoys a larger number of people faster.

If Cain does sell out for the VP slot, let him sell out to Perry.

In the final analysis its VOTES that count. (Or who counts the votes)

Ford spent hundreds of millions promoting the Edsel. The simple fact is that when you have an incredible bad product, no amount of money will move the needle.

My guess is, at this point, the same Establishment bastards who are contributing to Romney’s campaign are ALSO contributing to Perry. The goal is to keep a single viable conservative from getting too far up there to challenge their boy Romney.
Plain and simple.

Wow, now there’s a great reason for supporting a candidate, he’s got money!
Perry is still an Open-Borders fraud.
To: SeekAndFind
Wonderful, it is a big red flag pointing to the crony capitalist. Perry, jumping up and down, saying put your bid in here.

Why does everyone in the MSM seem to think that Rick Perry is just going to buy this nomination?
To: SeekAndFind
It’s all relative.
Perry spent $2 million on the straw poll in Florida.
Cain spent $2500 on the straw poll in Florida.
Given his history, I believe Cain will be able to do more with his $2 mil than Perry with his $17 mil.
It was the message, and the man, not the money that is making people sit up and take notice.

If mony could buy elections, Ross Perot would have been a two-term president, not Bill Clinton.

Why does Cain need so much money, since everyone’s voting for him anyway?

No question Perry is better connected to the establishment and their money, but Cain has the Tea Party, or a good deal of it. Soon Cain will be squared off with Romney, and the rest of the Tea Party will get behind him.
Some of Sarah’s supporters will need a few days to shake off the disappointment, but they are in this fight to save America, and that will help Herman Cain.

My tea party congressman was elected despite raising less than half the money raised by the democrat incumbent.
