Herman Cain cannot sustain himself over the long haul. That may hurt your feelings and be disappointing, but every candidate has to KNOW they need huge amounts of campaign cash to make the long run. He simply doesn't.

It is this line of defeatist thinking that has given us nominees like John McCain and Bob Dole. Fall behind the establishment candidate that can bring in the campaign cash. This is a losing strategy, not just for the GOP but for America as a whole.

Herman Cain may not seem like he has a lot of big money behind him now, but if he can win some of the early primaries (i.e. Iowa, SC) and establish himself as a frontrunner, people will be tripping over themselves to give him campaign money.

I agree with your assessment, by the way. But its anecdotal. The reality for anyone in the race is they have to bring a cash cow to the game. You and I can dislike that aspect of American politics all we want - and even fight against it. But it doesn't change today, nor the reality that Cain is going to lack funds.

This is exactly why I explained what I did earlier - that Cain will probably dwindle down and run out of money, essentially handing the race over to Romney.

Why can't people figure that out? If I'm the big dummy, its gonna make ya'll look awful silly in the end.
