As much as I love Herman Cain, I think he came out as one of the bigger losers in the straw poll other than Pawlenty. While I don't think the straw poll has much to do with predicting the nominee, it is a good way for marginal candidates to test their appeal. Cain was looking like a phenom after his debate performances, but he needed to do better than 8.6% in order to demonstrate his viability as a candidate, given how much he campaigned there.

I don't think there's room for more than one "tea party candidate" with a strong following but short political resume, and the Iowa voters chose Bachmann.

I think Heman Cain is an uncommonly brilliant guy and has a firm grasp on capitalism and business. However,after seeing our candidate-in-Chief playing the race card for years upon years you gotta wonder what the future is for yet another candidate of color in the next few years no matter how different a world one might be in.
