It’s not YOUR vote they are after. They are going for the undecideds; not political junkies who are not familiar with the candidates and will only be reached through television. Candidates have to counter misinformation, promote themselves with soundbites, and get “top of the mind” awareness. Politics is marketing your message.

And that takes money. Lots of money.

Well their money hasn’t been too effective yet. Cain’s on top, one is on life-support, and the other is stagnant. Forgive us if we have trouble seeing why Cain must lose.

Oh, you mean the 34% that are for Cain in Florida (versus 28% for Romney and 5% for Perry). Sorry, but they’ve ALREADY been polled. And the ones that support Cain are rock-solid in his camp (i.e., Tea Party).
