I wonder how important infrastructure is to a campaign any more. For someone without “infrastructure” he’s been doing remarkably well in straw polls. I say let Politico and their editorial staff (particularly Roger Simon, who recently called Cain a “dodo”) go ahead and continue to underestimate him. Cain finished college with a degree in math, yet he can effectively communicate what he knows to your average humanities student, an amazing talent.

This is a dumb poll. There are many polls out there saying that Cain is in the lead. So now we are having a poll about the polls? Dumb.

There are two types of people who can stop Cain from winning. Those who are told he can’t win and believe it. And those who get convinced by the media and the GOP that he’s a nut case.

Be interesting to see if these theories about having a massive campaign infrastructure are real.
Campaigns spend millions on these consultants and local experts. The dogma is you “have to have them”.
If Cain wins there are going to be a whole lot of professional political consultants with serious egg on their faces.

He better get the nomination, IF the GOP wants the WH back.
OR, they can shoot themselves in the foot AGAIN with Romney

"I wonder how important infrastructure is to a campaign any more."
Well look at what the Tea Party did with virtually No infrastructure and hardly any money, it literally changed the political landscape of America.
Herman Cain who truly was until recently a virtual unknown had faith enough in himself to decide to run for President of the United States on his own. There was no Media hype/pressure/build-up about a possible run, there was no urging by members of the Party, no words spoken into his ear by party players, elites, beltway boys or pundits, not even a word of encouragement from the Republican Party of his home state only faith in himself. Now after months of being treated as being a inconsequential candidate the curious sideshow of a conservative black Republican, he is now in the top tier along with people of great party pull, of men with experienced political machines and the dollars to power them. He did that on his own with no help from anyone accept by his own. Now think what a man with faith in himself like that could accomplish if given the chance.
Now many are saying Cain hasnt a chance with his little formal organization and even less money.
Well let me remind all of you of what a recent movement did with no formal organization and even less money, The Tea Party.
The Tea Party manage with both those weakness to go on and seriously change the political landscape and in doing so caused the Leftist members of govenment, ellitist of both political parties and media types to quake in fear of them and their rath and all done with only a minimum of formal organization and on a shoe string budget.
Thats what sucessful AMERICANS do, what they have always done! Its what makes us WINNERS! They start out with what they have and they MAKE IT WORK! They make it work because what they dont have in manpower or money they make-up with brains, sweat, blood and last but most important faith.

YES now 35%. If the GOP listens to the people he will get nominated. If they don’t, then they mean nothing to the people and stand to lose the Senate and maybe the House.

Nobody can win the nomination, according to FR posters....

“I wonder how important infrastructure is to a campaign any more.”
Without one you wont get on the ballot, or have anyone show up at the Caucus sites. Polls don't mean much if you aren't on the ballot. Time is running out to get that done.

No - He doesn’t have the infrastructure to mount a winning campaign.
49%
Maybe - It depends on what happens between now and the primaries.
15%

I’d much rather see Santorum as the nominee, but Cain has an excellent shot at it.
