Cain, the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, argued that his recent catapult in the polls is the product of a strategy to create buzz among nontraditional media and social forces.
"There are two dynamics that have changed the political landscape -- the power of the Internet, as well as the citizens' Tea Party movement. Those dynamics neutralizes having the most amount of money," he said.
He added that establishment Republicans like Karl Rove and Charles Krauthammer...are using an old playbook.
"They are working off of the traditional model of great name ID before you start out, whole lot of money, and you've held public office before. But Herman Cain is just the reverse. But guess what's happening? The American people aren't looking at it from the traditional model standpoint," he told ABC's "This Week."
Cain has recently appeared in the middle of polling of potential and declared candidates, drawing more than former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann in a recent poll by CNN. Bachmann has not yet said whether she will run.
"Our strategy from the beginning has been to develop a very strong ground game. I've been doing that ever since the beginning of the year. But we are a bit surprised at how quickly I'm starting to show up in the top of the polls," he said.
Cain said his campaign is on track to meet its fundraising targets, but money is less important than it has been deemed to be.
"We'll have enough money to be competitive, but we don't have to have the most amount," he said.
Ultimately, though, Cain said the Republican field is not so diverse when it comes to social and fiscal issues, and that should serve the party well during the nomination process.

Show me a guy with white skin speaking the way he is speaking.
Anything to peel conservative votes from Palin, now that it looks like she’s running.
1SAM 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
Its all about the content of one’s character which includes good judgement.
Works for me.
Cain is preferable ..... the ONLY candidate who promotes the "Fair Tax".
She isn’t in yet and we can cross that bridge if and when she gets in.
I like to ask you a question though what kind of person who is confident enough in themselves and their skills and abilities to run for and hold the office of POTUS would wait around to see if another candidate is going to run or not? I’ll tell what kind the kind that doesn’t deserve the office. If you plan to run you run and you wait on no one!
Everyone respects a guy who can make a good pizza.
He's still my first choice.
Is Gov. Palin in or out?
I don’t care but Herman Cain is ^absolutely^ framing the economic argument.
No Republican will win the nomination without addressing Cain’s broad-position argument!
I just love this guy!
The left has set up the “melanin based criticism shield”,
and I hope Cain uses it against them to its fullest extent.
Why?
Herman has already addressed this issue as a vantage point for him.
Herman vs. liberal media? Game, Set, Match.
>>Anything to peel conservative votes from Palin, now that it looks like she’s running.<<
The fact Gov. Palin hasn’t declared tells us she won’t.
Mr. Cain has not been coy — no futzing around, no winks at the cameras — he says what needs to be said to those who need to hear it.
Herman is a true Tea Party conservative with sensible solutions to the problems we are facing. That is what will EARN him votes.
I doubt that peeling votes from "she who has the media in a frenzy" is as important to him as getting down to business and building his own campaign with his own strategies.
This is NOT Palin’s birthright! Cain is a declared candidate...she isn’t.

The guy you seek is a she.
