I am not saying this to be snarky but giving what I think is good sound advice. It's your money and you do with it what you want but I would never take from my savings to give to any risky politician.

Cain does not seem to be helping himself very much by what he is doing and where he's doing it.

"Cain does not seem to be helping himself very much by what he is doing and where he's doing it."

Surely you JEST! LOLOLOL. I have no doubt that Rick Perry would gladly trade bank accounts with Herman Cain if he could change places in the polls.

Cain raised 2 million in 2 weeks. While I agree that Perry did as well or better during his run-up, I doubt he is doing quite so well, now. Gold doesn't necessarily get you good soldiers, but good soldiers will get you gold. At this rate, Cain will be matching Perry and Romney in the money battle well before the primaries are underway. That will take care of the advertising battle. The ground game is taking care of itself.

Here is an example of why you are wrong. IndyLindy reported the other day that an Indiana radio station asked the Perry campaign to be on for 10 minutes. His campaign declined. Then, the station asked Romney. Declined. They asked Cain and he came on for 10 minutes, and they held him over for more time. Not only did neither Perry or Romney take advantage of this free media, they allowed the opportunity for Cain to do so. That goes far beyond money.

You complain that Cain is in the wrong place to win. Is he? He seems to saturate the airways no matter where he is. He came to College Station, TX, where I live, a week ago. During that 24 hr period, I saw Cain on no less than 6 talk shows/media outlets. And that was just the ones I saw.
