In 2008, Giuliani had a very large majority of the polling momentum, as did Hillary Clinton.
In the end, it was completely different. Cain is much like Giuliani, in regards to outright short term popularity, which at this stage, is driven by mostly fanatical, political groupies, who eat, drink and sleep politics.
Give it time, especially after the money campaign starts. At this stage, it is historically favored by the most well funded and organized candidates. Given the facts, this is probably why McCain took the nomination.
Like it or not, the McCain campaign did have impeccable organization and planning. This is due to McCain's 30 years of political/election experience. Perry and Romney are the ones who will follow that trend and their funding is an indication of their solid voter support.

There is a huge difference between Giuliani and Cain. Rudy is a liberal republican. Cain most certainly is not. The conservative base rejected Rudy, as they will reject Romney. Cain is gaining support from conservatives. He scares the liberal press and the establishment republicans, but has many loyal supporters among the so-called broken glass republicans.
Do not count Herman Cain out. He’s no Rudy Giuliani.
