“Last I heard he doesn’t even have a campaign team in most states.”

Last you heard form whom? Or did you mean “my best guess?” Or did you just pull that out of your nethers?

I watch the news and read all the articles on everything political. It is mentioned daily that he doesn't really have a campaign or do much beyond selling his book.

There is a reason that most political reporters discount him in the nomination race, he doesn't have a campaign set up.

Even his bus says...National book tour, in huge letters.

Beagle is correct. Here is an article that points this fact out about your new found, suddenly perfect candidate.

(From ABC NEWS;)

Despite Cain’s jolt in the polls, he’s not spending his days in Iowa and New Hampshire, instead dropping by Manhattan and doing the talk -show circuit promoting his new book. Cain told ABC News he’s not shunning the early states and his strategy will ensure he is in the top three in Iowa and New Hampshire while winning South Carolina and Florida.

Craig Robinson, the former political director of the Iowa GOP who founded the Iowa Republican website, said he thinks Cain is “making a mistake by not campaigning in the early states.”

“I think it is a huge missed opportunity for him,” Robinson said. “Instead of doing TV show, TV show, TV show, he could come to Iowa where he would probably pull very big crowds and sell his candidacy that way.”

Cain’s strategy was one reason many staffers left this summer, saying the candidate was not putting the effort in those states that’s needed.

Tina Goff, who was the Iowa state director until she left in July, told ABC News that they were “asked to come up with our own strategy for our state and he wasn't’t following the strategy we came up with.”

Here is a complete link to the entire article. It is well written and not an attack. It merely states the facts and the reality of where Cain's campaign is headed.
