Good for Cain! I think his platform deserves more serious consideration. It's an early straw poll and I don't think he can win the whole enchilada, but you never know.
I didn't think Perry would come in first in Florida because of the large number of retirees in the state and he called their Social Security a Ponzi scheme. Not sure many expected him to win the poll there. But, I am surprised in a good way that it was Cain who came out on top. He wants to personalize social security, which I thought might be a disadvantage for him in Florida. Apparently not.
