The Romans had a saying, gold will not always get you good soldiers, but good soldiers can always get you gold. Same with poll numbers. If your polls stay high, the money will come flowing in. But Trump, Perot and other big money guys all proved to be a flash in the pan.

Money is like a big bank of speakers at a concert. If you are singing a song people like it helps to bring in the crowd. If nobody likes the tune, it just annoys a larger number of people faster.

If Cain does sell out for the VP slot, let him sell out to Perry.

[Don Corleone]

In the final analysis its VOTES that count. (Or who counts the votes)

[bwc2221]

Ford spent hundreds of millions promoting the Edsel. The simple fact is that when you have an incredible bad product, no amount of money will move the needle.

[ZULU]

My guess is, at this point, the same Establishment bastards who are contributing to Romney’s campaign are ALSO contributing to Perry. The goal is to keep a single viable conservative from getting too far up there to challenge their boy Romney.

Plain and simple.

[SoConPubbie]

Wow, now there’s a great reason for supporting a candidate, he’s got money!

Perry is still an Open-Borders fraud.

[org.whodat]

Wonderful, it is a big red flag pointing to the crony capitalist. Perry, jumping up and down, saying put your bid in here.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Why does everyone in the MSM seem to think that Rick Perry is just going to buy this nomination?

[justsaynomore]

It’s all relative.

Perry spent $2 million on the straw poll in Florida.
Cain spent $2500 on the straw poll in Florida.

Given his history, I believe Cain will be able to do more with his $2 mil than Perry with his $17 mil.

It was the message, and the man, not the money that is making people sit up and take notice.

If mony could buy elections, Ross Perot would have been a two-term president, not Bill Clinton.

[Lauren BaRecall]

Why does Cain need so much money, since everyone’s voting for him anyway?

[pallis]

No question Perry is better connected to the establishment and their money, but Cain has the Tea Party, or a good deal of it. Soon Cain will be squared off with Romney, and the rest of the Tea Party will get behind him.

Some of Sarah’s supporters will need a few days to shake off the disappointment, but they are in this fight to save America, and that will help Herman Cain.

[RightInEastLansing]

Herman just got my 20 bucks.

[joe fonebone]

OK.......the mitt bots are out in force telling us to “compromise” once again.....well, here is as far as i will compromise... Perry, Cain or Cain, Perry.... no mcromneys...or gingriches... or anyone named bush...

[Psalm 144]

With Palin out, it is between one of these two for me.

Cain sounds better, but probably Perry will be stronger.

We’ll see.

[TShaunK]

I heard last nite on Hannity that all the Christie money will now go to Romney.
(from a woman who said she has inside knowledge)Can’t remember her name.

If he’s serious about this leader-of-the-free-world job interview, Herb needs to put down the book, pick up the phone and raise some cash.

Very true. He needs to show he's serious.

Put the book tour on hold, Herman, and start campaigning like a frontrunner, NOW!
