HERMAN CAIN WINS FLORIDA GOP STRAW POLLBy Frances Rice
It was, indeed, a stunning victory. When the votes were counted Saturday, September 24th, Herman Cain was declared the winner of the Florida Republican Party's Presidency Five straw poll. He won by a substantial margin, 37.1% of the 2,657 delegate votes cast, more than the combined amounts for the governor of Texas, Rick Perry (15.4%) and the former governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney (14.0%). Herman Cain's unequivocal conservative message resonated well with the Florida Presidency Five delegates. He outlined clearly his detailed record of more than 40 years of job creation in the private sector and, as he stated, his "common sense solutions to restore fiscal sanity to government".
