Cain has nothing in the bag. A poll boomlet that doesn't equal a lot of cash is not very convincing. Who knows - Cain may win, but he certainly doesn't have anything in the bag. If our anti-Romney candidate turns out to be someone who can't raise much money or put together strong state organizations, then my guess is Romney the chameleon walks away with it.
I think just the opposite, I am imagining all news reports similar to the ones after the Florida straw poll expressing shock at how Herman Cain somehow pulled off a huge win with no organization and no money spent.
In the end all that matters is the votes.
Money is a means to an end, you spend money to help people get to know you and your positions on things and or your opponents positions of things.
But if they already know you and like you, and already know and like your positions, money really isn’t an issue.
Last night, the press started reporting that Romney was pushing for tariffs on China for their currency manipulation, when in truth Reid and Schumer already tacked it onto the trade bill for the Columbian and South Korea trade agreements.
The Democrats don’t want the blame for the fall out and Romney is more than willing to take the blame if it buys him union votes.
