Cain Responds
to Ames Straw
Poll Results
(Ames, IA)-
Republican
presidential
candidate Herman
Cain responded
to the results
of the Ames
Straw poll,
saying:
We are very
pleased with the
outcome of the
Ames Straw Poll
yesterday. Our
campaign spent
significantly
less than those
who spent
millions, and we
still finished
in the top half
of the field.
While some spent
weeks on
television and
radio using paid
media, we spent
exactly $0 on
either and still
performed quite
well.
We are
encouraged by
the outpouring
of support
during our bus
tour throughout
the state of
Iowa. We drove
more than 1,800
miles in less
than a week and
at each stop,
the crowds grew
bigger and
bigger.
I would like to
congratulate
Congresswoman
Bachmann for her
impressive
victory in the
straw poll. Her
message is an
important
message for the
conservative
movement, and I
am honored to be
competing with
her for the
Republican
nomination.
I also wish
Governor
Pawlenty the
very best. He
was a formidable
competitor and
truly a fine
man. I enjoyed
getting to know
him and will
forever consider
him a friend.
I appreciate the
hospitality from
the great folks
in Iowa who I
enjoyed visiting
for the 27th
time since the
beginning of
this year. This
is just the
beginning of our
efforts in Iowa,
and I look
forward to
spending more
time here in the
months leading
up to the
caucus.
This election is
about 'we the
people,' not 'we
the political
class.' As such,
I will continue
to champion the
people's
interests.
