Right now it looks like Romney will win in NH. Cain could/should win in Iowa, South Carolina and Florida.

Can he pull that off without a ton of money and a big organization?

It’ll be hard...BUT:

1. Cain has raised more in the last few weeks than he had since January.

2. Once he wins Iowa, people will start to realize he’s “for real” and money should again flow in.

3. He has ties to the Koch brothers - which is a good thing for fundraising (but might be a bit of a negative in the general, although nothing that can’t be overcome).

After he finishes 2nd in NH, Cain will have a month to organize in Iowa, and three months to organize in Super Tuesday. What’s more, as candidates drop out or become non-viable, support will shift towards Cain.

Romney’s only hope is to destroy Cain, but going negative will backfire. Tonight’s debate will be telling: Will the limousine-liberals circle their wagons and go after Cain for Romney’s sake?

Organization is important. Money will come if someone senses a winner. Cain can attract people. I don’t think Newt can. Romney appears stuck at attracting about 20%.

He could garner a ton of money and a strong organization if he would commit to running for President and not Vice President. He is barnstorming Tennessee when the serious candidates are spending time in Iowa, NH, and SC. He pulled in about $3M last quarter. He needs to pull in 20 times that, and he can if he commits to it, this quarter.
