Herman Cain Wins Florida Straw Poll: Orlando, Florida - Herman Cain, former CEO of Pizza Patron, won the white vote in Florida today, defeating runner Rick Perry after the Texas governor worked the crowd of activists with a breakfast in the morning speech Saturday. Mr. Cain has won nearly 40 percent of the 2657 people who voted, more than doubling of global M. Perry, and that of Mitt Romney, who came in third. All candidates were talking about the amount of Florida Republicans who gathered here for the Coalition faith and freedom of assembly and the Conservative Political Action Conference. But Mr. Romney, former Massachusetts governor, left the state early Friday for events in Indiana and Michigan, effectively telegraphing his campaign does not place so much emphasis on the result. Mr. Perry has lived in Florida until Saturday morning and hosted a breakfast for participants.A win for Mr. Perry at the straw poll might have helped blunt criticism that has been building of his performance in Thursday night’s debate. Instead, the victory went to Mr. Cain, who had whipped up the attendees with a fiery speech on Friday afternoon that had the crowd on their feet for an extended standing ovation. In a statement, Mr. Perry congratulated Mr. Cain but took a swipe at Mr. Romney. Floridians and voters nationally want a candidate who is clear on the issues and talks honestly about the future, not someone who takes multiple sides of an issue and changes views every election season,” Mr. Perry said. “Today’s vote demonstrates that Floridians are energized and ready to help get America working again.” Representative Michele Bachmann, who has been struggling to recover from a series of disappointing performances since her win at the Iowa straw poll this summer, came in dead last, with only 1.5 percent of the votes. 
This result is certainly add to his difficulties in raising funds. Minnesota congressman has had some success in collecting small donations, but has not convinced many high U.S. dollar donors to help bankroll his campaign, according to recent reports. Poll election was also a disappointment, Jon Huntsman, Utah's former governor, who made the topic to gather on Friday that the present should choose a person who is eligible to President Obama. Instead, the public has chosen Mr. Cain, who is behind Mr. Romney and Mr. Perry, in national polls and surveys states as Iowa and New Hampshire polls. Mr. Cain's best hope to be in Iowa, where his message could resonate with voters and religious conservatives, If he does not win Ms. Bachmann and Mr. Perry, you can give to his campaign to increase, as it did to win Iowa by Mike Huckabee in 2008. Rick Santorum, former senator from Pennsylvania, came in fourth place in the vote, just in front of the representative Ron Paul of Texas. Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, came in sixth.Herman Cain Wins Florida Straw Poll
