Was Block successful in vaulting a neophyte politician to the top of the polls heap? I rest my case.
However with money pouring in, Cain could well afford more professionals running the campaign.
Neophyte? Hardly. Cain was a senior advisor to the Dole campaign in 1996, had a brief presidential run in 2000, and ran for the Seante in 2004. He’s been on the board of the Federal Reserve and has basically worked as a lobbyist or a fundraiser since the early 90s.
