I think it's more spontaneous bandwagon enthusiasm than organization at this point. One of my hesitances about Cain is that there still isn't much organization to his campaign. And he lacks money. Those are fixable, but continuing to run his campaign as a book tour isn't going to get it done. He needs to get serious, really serious, fast.

It's even conceivable that raw enthusiasm among core conservatives could carry him to the nomination. But then he'd have to cobble together a general election campaign team and strategy (and sufficient money to keep Obama's billion dollars from overwhelming his message) in almost no time. That's like trying to put together a viable Superbowl contender without the benefit of the team having ever played together until a month before kickoff.

I love his message, his personality, and his focus. I am deeply concerned that he just doesn't seem to understand what it will take to move his campaign to the next level. Many of his supporters don't have a clue either if they think he can win without a top tier team, several hundred million dollars in the bank, and carefully constructed and executed strategy.

Winning a big election on a wing and a prayer only happens in dime store novels and movies.

I hope Sarah Palin endorses him. I think it's time for some of the Conservative Republicans running for the nomination who are losing badly to drop out and endorse Cain. I think most people knew the other candidates a lot better than they did Cain which is why he shot up in the polls when people heard more about him and his political views. I think the others are known well enough that they aren't going to get a significant spike in the polls because more people knew about them and their positions long before the primaries compared to Cain.

I think the Conservative Republicans who are pretty much out of the race to formally drop out and endorse and support Herman Cain. We need everyone getting behind him as soon as possible so he can start bringing in more money and getting help with his campaign.
