How will this work out for him? Does winning the straw polls give him an advantage in selling books, so he's going after book sales..Or did he enter the race to promote Herman Cain on other people's money? Or has winning a couple of straw polls "gone to his head" and he doesn't think he needs to campaign? Whatever the reason it doesn't make him look like he's serious about being president. This is a sign of someone who’s unlikely to win the GOP nomination; It's also a  sign of someone who isn’t really trying to win. So a vote for Cain in a primary would be a throwaway vote. be##
