Remember, two months ago nobody knew who Herman Cain was (and a lot of voters still don't). He's gone from zero to serious contender in record time.

Cain still has incredibly low name reconition (not even in the same ballpark as Palin, for example), yet he still is managing to tie Palin in the number of supporters. Cain's pool of potential supporters (the people who currently recongize who Cain is) is much smaller than Palin's pool of potential supporters. If Cain was known by as many people that know Palin (had the same size potential suppoter pool), he would easily be in 1st place--way, way ahead of even Romney.

Herman Cain's biggest advantage over every other candidate is the more people get to know him, the more they like him--a lot.

Well, these Romney bots need to think long and hard about taking on Obama:

The only thing keeping Romney afloat is money. Herman needs an influx of cash and he needs to stay on message. He can overtake Romney and after Sarah said what she did yesterday about ethanol subsidies (right or wrong) I can’t see her doing better than 3rd in Iowa. Romney, Cain, Palin. If she don’t get in this thing, I think the road to the nomination is wide open for Cain. Especially if she declines to run and backs Herman.
