CNN ^ | 11/1/11 | Kevin Bohn

Washington (CNN) – Herman Cain's campaign says it raised more than $400,000 on Monday, a "clear vote of confidence from his supporters," after the story broke alleging he had been accused of sexual harassment while head of the National Restaurant Association.

"In the last 24 hours, the Friends of Herman Cain campaign has had the single best day of fundraising since the start of the campaign," Mark Block, Cain's chief of staff, said Tuesday night.

Block said Monday's donations, both online and by phone, doubled the normal daily average in Cain's campaign to become the Republican presidential nominee.

”The goal of the soft technique is turning the attacker’s force to his or her disadvantage, with the defender exerting minimal force.[1] With a soft technique, the defender uses the attacker’s force and momentum against him or her, by leading the attack(er) in a direction to where the defender will be advantageously positioned (tai sabaki) and the attacker off balance; a seamless movement then effects the appropriate soft technique. In some styles of martial art like Wing Chun, a series of progressively difficult, two-student training drills, such as pushing hands or sticky hands, teach the exercise the soft-technique(s); hence: (1) The defender leads the attack by redirecting the attacker’s forces against him or her, or away from the defender — instead of meeting the attack with a block. The mechanics of soft technique defences usually are circular: Yielding is meeting the force with no resistance, like a projectile glancing off a surface without damaging it. Another example could be: an Aikido 合気道 check/ block to an attacker’s arm, which re- directs the incoming energy of the blow.”

It is :

RAISING NAME ID

and

RAISING CRITICAL IOWA/NH/SC FUNDS

Thank you Jesus. I think the more we wear this eerily timed nefarious Politico/RINO marriage made in hell attack by dark little forces on HERMAN CAIN as a badge of honor with a happy, positive face, the more it backsplatters right back on them and slingshots the energy in our favor and back on the original attackers. Gracious, they must be apoplectic, to be seeing the REVERSE EFFECT they sought, I'll tell ya what! LOL. Serves em right. Bring it on. Bring more of it on if you dare, RINOS/POLITICO/GOVERNMENT-MEDIA COMPLEX punks.

He may have raise $400k in a day, but radio ads on Rush, Fox, Hannity, Levin, and the plethora of interactive ad buys on Drudge and etc, how much did he spend to raise that $400k?

just asking the question that needs to be asked. (-;

There were twice the normal donations on Monday to his campaign than usual. He did not do anything different in terms of advertising in that “one day”, this was people standing up for Cain.

I thought it was great. “Bill, work with me here.”

It was nice seeing someone shut O’Reilly up.

I watched him on FNC and O’Reilly, and I liked what I saw. He has a no-BS attitude and exudes true conservative values. And he doesn’t back down in the face of blowhards. I may send him some money.

Ads cost money & their purpose is to get the candidates message out.

What whould you like to have him do - put the money in the bank??

Cain is definitely going to need the money. Looks like he will be going against Obama in the primaries as well as the general.

You have to raise the money to pay for the adverts, before you can run the adverts. Especially in today’s business climate.

O'Reilly's characteristic interruptions as the smartest-guy-in-the-room failed to take Herman Cain off his points.

Despite O'Reilly persisting in claims Greece would continue to jeopardize our future, Herman replied he'd put us back in the lead economically.

When pressed for specifics on foreign policy, Herman said the Middle East, where he wouldn't be announcing a date-certain for withdrawal.

Energy independence would lower the world oil price by a third and hurt Iran.

He'd maximize our ballistic missile defense (Obama has undone the realization of the Reagan shield) utilizing our Aegis systems.

O'Reilly admitted he found him fascinating and could talk on and on--invited him back.

No condescension here.

The donation spike likely reflects a widening realization that this is a man with an optimistic as well as realistic plan.

A welcome relief to the wall-to-wall lies and decline of the Occupier of the White House.
