not bad, considering he probably raised most of that in the week after the Florida Straw Poll.

“Herman Cain raised $2.8 million in the third quarter and has $1 million cash on hand, according to his campaign.”

Good enough for now but he will have to do better in the next quarter. I believe given how the polls have shifted heavily in his favor, he will do just that.

Iowa is huge, he needs to win it. NH....second will do. If he wins S. Carolina that brings the conservative candidates’ campaigns that did NOT win it to an end. Those supporters and their donations have to go somewhere and that destination is not likely to be Romney, Paul or Huntsman. I believe that when Huntsman finishes poorly in NH, he won’t be around for S. Carolina anyway.

I just got a letter from the Cain campaign asking for emergency donations to help with the next 90 days.

The main reason that the situation is so dire is that the primaries are being moved up. (This is being done deliberately to help the Romney campaign.)

Cain’s surge came late in the 3rd quarter and now the donations are starting to come in, BUT he only has three months left to lock this in. He only has a slim margin (or a tie - depending on the poll) over Romney.

My family has given all that we can. We are tapped out.

Hubby and I are going to dig through our savings tonight and see what else we can spare.

Cain needs BIG help over the next 90 days or we WILL end up with Romney as our nominee.

Conservatives have trouble raising enough ‘free speech’ in order to be heard.

I wish someone who lives in the States would ask Mr. Cain one question. It’s a yes or no answer:

“If you become president, will you kick the UN out the United States and get the United States out off the UN?”

I donated $10 last week via Herman Cain’s website. I will donate again next week. Really hope Herman’s got the nomination here. He’s a true conservative, no doubt.

Cain’s fortunes are looking up. He can expect to raise a lot more from now on.

I hate to say this, but I think the relation between raising money and winning an election is so overrated. Especially with the internet and so many forms of communication. If someone is creative, they can overcome that.

I have a feeling Herman is managing his money very wisely ... No excessive spending or hiring of idiots!

Let’s get these things tackled in order. Obamacare gone is job one. The UN is bullshit started with the League of Nations and we should leave it. It destroyed us over time. The regulatory agencies should have Congressional approval on every move they make.

I gave him $9.99 too !

hehe

I encourage everyone to give this great man $9.99, if only 1 million of us did that he could put Romney away for good.

By the way Mitt Romney only has 1.94 million in cash on hand, currently so Romney and Cain and nearly tied currently.

Mitt is blowing all his money, Mitt raised 14.2 million in the quarter, but spent 12.28 million of it.

I was thinking Cain would have to make up ground, but I didn't know that Romney had already blown most of what he has raised with his big spending liberal habits. Cain could actually surpass Romney in cash on hand soon.

I got a letter from his campaign today. I gave a week or so ago but am going to add to it. I don’t think Herman Cain is a man who will waste anybody’s money.
