Subscribe to RSSHerman Cain's campaign said today it has raised $9 million since Oct. 1, doubling so far Cain's entire third-quarter haul.
A quarter of that money, about $2.3 million, came just in the last 10 days -- as he's been embroiled in a sexual-misconduct scandal.
There is no way to independently confirm the numbers until Jan. 15, when the campaigns are required to its fourth-quarter report with the Federal Election Commission.
Here's the Cain campaign's press release:
Herman Cain Campaign War Chest Skyrockets
Presidential candidate Herman Cain is "in it to win it," according to newly released financial numbers. The Herman Cain Campaign reports receiving over $9 million of financial support from Cain backers since October 1st. Twenty-five percent of these newly received contributions have come in the last ten days.The generosity of Mr. Cain's followers has more than doubled in the past five weeks, compared to the financial gifts received in the previous two quarters combined. According to the campaign's third quarter FEC filing, Mr. Cain's campaign received $4.7 million from May through September 30th. The campaign has received a total of $14.1 million in financial support since the start of the campaign.
"Mr. Cain's vision to renew our country and create new jobs via his bold "9-9-9 Plan" is resonating across America," said Mark Block, Chief of Staff to the Herman Cain presidential campaign. "Mr. Cain's business experience and executive leadership is needed to put America back on the track to prosperity. Voters want to be part of the Cain Train so they are donating their time, talent and treasure to make sure Mr. Cain is our next president."

Show me the money Cain!!!
Given Hermie's habit of embellishments - I want to know if this is actual CASH in the bank OR simply pledges?
That's a whole lot of dough but Hermie still needs your help tea baggers...
Make sure to send him a check today will ya?
"Make sure to send him a check today will ya?"
Well, yeah. I mean, he's not deterred, and he's gonna 'wee-yin'. You haven't heard?
ha ha...Before woman 5, 6, and 7 could get paid for their accusations, Cain has stopped the Sexual Harassment tactics and he is getting more money. That is awesome. First black president Herman Cain.
This story is good an indicator of how the GOP base views world. They think that if Cain enjoys sexually harassing woman then he’s OK in their book and would be a great President. I suppose if he was a serial rapist or serial murderer then he would have raised even more money. I’m not sure what is mentally wrong with the Republican base but I sure hope none of them live in my neighborhood because anyone that thinks like that is a danger to everyone else.
its peanuts compared to all bam bam got from his union thug strong-arming and the mindless disciples
Just goes to show there's a fool born every minute.
Good post Feisty, these donations are like a gift to Obama. Hmmm, maybe sponsor a bake sale with proceeds to Cain. What kind of cupcakes go best with tea?
if this makes him a 1%er, can the left literally lynch him now?
It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant the teabaggers really are...Almost as stupid as giving more money to Perry now.. LOL
Cain: bring me more white princesses... ummmm
Correct MarlonJacobs, when it comes to who Republicans actually like, and who they will vote for, the dumber they are, the better Republicans like them.
@ TruePat:
You know what they say about great minds.
Anna: I'd like to add another: There's no fool like an old fool. Fits both Cain and his supporters.
I was sexually assaulted by a feisty redhead!
In your dreams little buddy! ;o)
My wife is a red head, you are so vain.
Godnight, off to see Fogerty.
We care about your sex life... WHY?
TWI dude... TMI!
Here we go... the rise of Cain!
"A fool and his money are easily parted."
So the party that cheered death and booed a US soldier now donates money to a sexual predator. I don't know why I thought I should be surprised or shocked at this...
So why is the poor far left and the extreme rich left so worked up about Cain? Because if you don't vote for Cain, you are a racist! Oh, did I say something wrong? Liberals can not use the racist card if Cain takes on Obama. So what will the liberals have to swing votes if they loose their racist card? Cain will have FACTS and Obama will still have blame Bush. But really, who cares, as long as Obama is voted out! Check out the Obama numbers, how can anyone vote for him again, unless you are taking a Obama Bailout or free ride on the few remaining tax payers backs! Yep that hope and change turned out to be hopeless! And a few poor hopeless people still have faith in the failed Obama path of his so called change.
First Read, tell us this, how much did Obama take in and from where????? Come on now, who are the top 20 that are pumping in money to Obama? How many companies that got bail outs, have turned around to give money to Obama? Dig deep, step up to the plate, and show us the facts. Sounds like a lot of greedy rich liberals are getting a free ride, like the ones that were abled to op out of Obama care. Show us that list, include the unions too! GOP will use this information very soon, so lets get it out now!
You're better off buying a pizza from Dominos.
It always surprises me when Conservatives choose their candidate:
1) They hate the Fed and want it eliminated. But Cain was the Chairman of the Board of the Kansas City Fed and before that was on the board of the Fed's Omaha Bank.
2) They want to defend "marriage." But both Gingrich and Cain are serial adulterers. I can't think of a more serious attack on marriage than adultery.
3) They will tell you all about ACORN. But as an associate pastor and deach at Atlanta's largest and most liberal African-American church (Antioch North) both his church and Cain, as a deacon, had major connections to ACORN, voter registration drives, and campaigns for affirmative action in Atlanta. (I note that Antioch North in the past couple of weeks removed all recerences to Cain or his wife from their web site.)
4) They want someone who will create jobs. But Cain was noteworthy for losing jobs at Godfathers and taking it from the #3 pizza chain to #5 and falling. He closed about 1/4 of all its outlets.
5) They want their candidates to be authentic and independent. But Cain and Gingrich still refuse to disclose the names of donors or advisers.
The list goes on and on ---- but please, keep sending that money to Cain. LOL
FR: There is no way to independently confirm the numbers until Jan. 15,
With this statement I can only come to the conclusion that Domenico thinks the Cain camp is lying.
Is it because Herman Cain is Black, Domeinco? Because if you had made this statement 4 years ago about Barack Obama, Feisty would have said they only have to prove things to you because they are black.
WCA,
All he is trying to say is that many of those dollars
reported may only be pledges and not actual donations.
After all, Cain is a liar (and a sexist pig). Seriously, based on the Pokeman poem, the SimsCity 9-9-9 plan, and quotes from movies like "I'm a brother of a brother of a different mother" Cain has no credibility anyway. Yes, let's get back to Cain's "foreign policy vision" -- Hahahaha!
Cain's sexual harrassment of reaching under a woman's skirt and grabbing her privates borders on rape, certainly it is not consensual. Like the Pen State scandal, it is more than just negligence, it is criminal to aid and abete, and to cover-up with conspiracy and obstruct the law. These behaviors cannot be accepted regardless of running for POTUS or what have you.
No its because he appears to be lying about everything else.
TruePatriot-445959
are you referring to the woman who was later seen hugging him, or the serial accuser?
please stop promoting wolf-crying, it only hurts true victims of crime.
or is that the intent?
he doesn't have the money, he just has another lie to deny and then admit.
Thanks to the collapse cowards:
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL Comment collapsed by the community
Show me the money Cain!!!
Given Hermie's habit of embellishments - I want to know if this is actual CASH in the bank OR simply pledges?
That's a whole lot of dough but Hermie still needs your help tea baggers...
Make sure to send him a check today will ya?
"A fool and his money are easily parted."
The only problem with Cain is that he's just not able.
Why redwig..... you've always bragged in the past that your collapsed comments are read by more.... ego bruised old gal? Perhaps your opinions are too contentious and full of rancor! Perhaps civility and facts will result in less animosity from others.... eh? Nah, a skunk can't change it's smell and neither can you! By the way.... you accuse those who criticize Obama as being racist, yet you've enjoyed vilifying Cain without much proof, a little hypocritical it seems. But you have never been completely honest in your comments have you? You just like to stir sh!t up don't you old gal.... perhaps you should spend some time enjoying life rather than spend most of your day spewing insults at FR! Just a suggestion... have a nice day!
Pride, you nailed carrot top... she's just like the OWS crowd she promotes, and so little like the majority of Americans (outside the FR crowd, that is...) and she hates the Tea Party why?
The Tea Party’s key demand is to restore the size and reach of government to that enshrined by the Framers in the Constitution. The Tea Party wants lower taxes, less regulation, less federal spending, and less intervention by the federal government into citizen’s private lives and businesses. To reiterate, the Tea Party’s rule book is the U.S. Constitution; they want to restore America to what it was supposed to be, as prescribed by the Framers. Thus, the Tea Party’s goals are specifically and uniquely American.
By stark contrast, the demands of OWS (and carrot top's dreams) are for more taxes, more regulation, more federal spending (on them, of course), and more government intervention in people’s private lives and businesses (not theirs of course, just those of the eeeeevil rich).
If we're lucky neither carrot top or the OWS crowd will get what they want!
Why doubt the numbers? This is a classic Republican reaction to a Richard head. He's da man!
Hey, if you plan to criticize Herman Cain, his lawyer says you better think twice. So all this vetting stuff and free speech stuff and allegations even if it's the truth stuff -- Think twice!
mitch j -- Let me guess, you are one of those individuals who say a woman was raped because she was asking for it. Women are raped every minute, abused every minute, harassed all the time. We as a society need to stop putting the victim on trial when we should investigate, especially multiple allegations including one account given so far by a male witness.
Memphis Kelly -- I understand the need for a minimum two-Party system. The problem is the GOP/TP is no longer a political Party, but rather a mishmash of illogical and irrational crazies. If we're lucky the Teapublicans will be "contained" from participation for at least 20 years so we can get our nation back to Super Power status.
Go OWS! Obama/Biden - 2012!
What does raising campaign money have to do with being President. Shouldn't be about money, it should strictly be about the issues. Shouldn't have to buy your Presidency. Something is just wrong about that.
Republicans: Use that money to get a college education. It will help you choose better representatives in the future.
Who knew that sexual harassment would be a good fund raising tool.
Good point.
At least with Obama you are actually buying / getting something ....... like getting Wall Street protections ..... like having a car company bought for you .......like a half billion for your solar panel venture ........ half billion for EV car venture in Finnland ...... union protection in right to work states ...... waivers for Obamacare ...... laws you don't like not being enforced ....
GOOD FOR HIM! I am not surprised. This is because no one believes the left-wing media's gossip laden spin, and reacts by showing support for Cain and donating to his campaign.
I'm with Wililng.Sniper. The hell with that harassment chicken feed.
I mean who wouldn't want a president and leader of the free world that has no idea of where Becki-Stan-Stan is, or that China has nookaler weapons? My kind of guy.
Not deterred. Gonna wee-yin.
"... the left-wing media's gossip laden spin"
Say- this reminds me: Did they ever figure out if the leaks came from the left, or the right?
The media? They just report stuff. What's the skinny on this one, Willing?
DBO I though Cain was blaming Perry for the leak. Somewhere I heard these women are registered Republicans as well. Are we sure Willing knows his left from his right, maybe he put his gloves on backwards today.
Do not forget that one of the women accusing him is a member of the tea party. Maybe he was forgetting God that day and the tea partier was forgetting her gun...had either one of them remembered the result would have been quite different. And talk about remembering... Rick perry was trying hard to remember his lines last night. If these are his core convictions and he can't remember them then he aught to pack it in.
Hey Willing Sniper............Cain will laugh all the way to the bank if it's true!! Just like Stupid Sarah! They like taking you idiots for a ride!
By the loud "booos" directed at the left-leaning CNBC media Reps for their unfounded insinuations , it's easy to see the people support Cain.
All cheers for the candidate; and only boooo's for the media Reps acting as moderators, asking the stupid questions during last nights debate.
Thats the same bunch that booed a Marine in a war zone,a dying cancer patient and the execution of 234 people in Texas,several of which were retarded. That's a good moral compass ya got their Snipey.
To not bring up an issue that has been making front page news concerning the candidates would have been gross neglect, whether the network was msnbc, fox, or bbc. What a silly comment. And the booing was so incredibly childish. The debate moderaters didn't make up the allegations. And giving Cain a chance to address them actually probably did Cain more good than ignoring them, among those that think they were fabricated.
The audience all got a door prize of a pizza with everything on it for $9.99.
Who the Hell do you think was in that audience, Sniper? A bunch of non-partisans? They were all GOP suck-ups who would boo anything that wasn't a softball question. Cain is a novelty and he will have his day in the sun but as is the case with all novelties, the sun eventually sets.
Boy, I thought the questions last night were great, only thing stupid was the answers. Boy, are threy losers.
Willing, they were just cheering Herman on so he can harass more women...hope you have locked up your womenfolk, old Hermie is the man about town.
It is one huge stretch to call CNBC left-leaning. It's a business news network.
The fact that donations went up after republican voters heard about his sexual harassment speaks VOLUMES more about the state of the conservative movement, WS.
I think you might be spinning tales again, Princess Herman!!
Cain claims he raised $9 million since Oct 1, that says (A) lots of people willingly believe the media and some rival has attacked him unfairly and will stand by their man or (B) lots of people think sexual harassment allegations should be disregarded and will stand by their man or (C) both. Not sure which reason is the better one.
Looks as if Willing Sniper picks (A).
is it HERMAN CAIN...or DENNY CRAIN...
You can fool some of the people all of the time. Cain is going nowhere. Bank on it.
Charlie- Shhh.....we WANT this guy on the fight card.
Cain is going down hard. The hotel records and more info is on the way. Just a matter of time. I cannot wait to see how many more who have been harassed by this classless act show up.
I wish he didn't think he was god's gift to women. If not, he might have won the nomination and been easily defeated. Oh well, Mitt, Nitwit Perry, and the rest of the crew are not exactly world beaters either.
He sure as heck A'INT presidential.
And you think bam bam is?
Tells me everything I need to know about hypocritical Dems
And there will be more women making accusations. These guys are multiple offenders.
Tells me everything I need to know about hypocritical republicans.
This is going to be a really tough election for obama and the dems.
If the dems can force the repubs and/or the public to endorse Mitt instead of Cain, Obama and the dems can just keep pulling out the race card. But even if it is Mitt, obama will not win any debate on the issues and/or his performance.
If it is Cain, Obama and the dems will still not be able to win a debate on the issues or Obama's performance but will not have the race card to pull and can only do a smear campaign on Cain.
But smear is what the loser dems know how to do best so they should be in good standing on that note.
Don't blame it on the Dems " Blame yourself, Blame yourself" It's that was your girlfriend Cain said?
"But smear is what the loser dems know how to do best so they should be in good standing on that note."
So then YOU know where the leak originated, and it wasn't from the right, but the left?
Cool. You might want to call some newsrooms around the country, and let them know you have 'scooped' them.
well drive-by-observer, we sure know how Cains performance stacks up don't we!
Sheit I want this idiot clown to be the GOP nominee just so he can embarrass the Tea bags and the GOP brand for Life. They will never get elected, please please please I beg you to keep this clown out there. Including myself every black person knows this dude is a womanizer and a sexual assault person. You can compare Clinton all you want there were no lawsuits against him by the woman.
This dude thinks China don't have nuclear weapons - what an idiot.
Don't forget ole, there were no law suits against Cain. So what is your point?
sonmanvb: No law suits, but plenty of pay offs. Same diff.
Keep the Cain train rolling, get those credit cards out! While your at it, buy his book! LOL I love it!!!!!!
Herman Cain, during his "major" fundraiser push over the last 8-10 days raised only 1.2 million dollars! So you take that exxaggerated rate and multiply it by the days (41) in this quarter, it comes to 4.92 million. That is BEST CASE. You have to factor in that most of the days in the 3rd quarter were not major fundraising days. Herman Cain is realistically looking at less than 4 million this quarter so far.
What a liar. I'm voting for the only honest politician running, Ron Paul. He raised about 3 million in a few days, but the media said nothing about that. Too funny.
Maybe so but you're still not going to be able to buy that time machine and go back to stop your troubles before you started them, Mr. Cain.
How ironic - the " family values " Republican Party defending a sexual pervert like Cain. Liars and hypocrites.
Well, let's hope Cain makes it through the primaries to win the nomination at the convention before more women and the sordid details come to light and he has a class action suit pending while officially running for the ticket.
And don't blame the Dems for any of this leaking or media coverage to date. The Democrats surely want Cain or Perry to be the nominee instead of Romney. Why would the Democrats leak a gem like this now when it would be infinitely more priceless as an October surprise if Cain won the nomination?
You know what they say about fools and their money......
yea...their republicans......
Suckers!
Who in their right mind would fund hermy? I'm not buying a 9 dollar pizza I'm buying a president.
You made a very poor assumption there Crystal....their not in their right mind!!
His nickname at the NRA was "Superfly".
Crystal- my wife and I sent a donation this week to the Cain campaign as did a number of our friends to show our support for Mr Cain.
we sent our last week. and I started a moustache, much to my wifes chagrin, in support!
Lary- that's great news. Can you send more next payday?
I really really REALLY want this guy on the ballot in 2012.
Hey Larry,
when four more victims come forward, please double your donation.
gmci
Hey Larry,
We don't even have a first victim as of today.
Larry,
well, she is abiding by the NRA agreement.
it was beautiful how the audience slapped the white house puppet for asking a non-economy related question.
And the puppet had no idea what to do. My bet is that she thought she was going to look great by bringing it up.
I also thought Newt's response was great.
Axelrod probably gave her a choice: either question him about it, or claim you were victimized as well.
It should not have been brought up at all???? It is news whether it is news you like to hear or news you don't it is nonetheless news and deserves to be brought forward in the debate.
LL
That "puppet" as you call her, knows far more about the economy than any of the 8 stooges on stage.
what is unfortunate: crying wolf serves only the wolves. each bogus accusation results in many more real victims that will not come forward, and report actual crimes in the future.
very telling that none of the libs ever publicly recognize this. typical, under the guise of helping, they are only enslaving.
mitch, what kind of inside information do you have to know these are lies. Were you or have you been attached to Cain from 1998 thru 2002. Did you witness something to back up your statement. If so please let the Cain campain know so they can debunk these claims with facts and witnesses. Please do not delay you need to help Cain.
And you know that how, Mitch? Speaking to God? Heard it from Rush? Heard it from Mr. Cain?
Based on recent news, I would vote INDEPENDENT before I would vote for Cain.
Marine- I'm an independent libertarian who would vote for Cain, Gingrich, Santorum, and even Perry and Bachmann over Obama. I have voted mostly 3rd party since Nixon with the exception of Reagan. But a Stalinist like Obama must be removed ASAP
10-4 good buddy!
Larry if you are an independent why do you always vote republican?
Tis the Season
I guess you have reading comprehension problems in addition to the disease of liberalism.
I voted for Nixon in 68 because I thought he would be a conservative. I voted 3rd party in 72 and 76. I voted for Reagan in 80 and 84.
I voted 3rd party in 88, 92, 96, 2004, and 2008.
I voted for Bush in 2000 because I mistakenly thought he would not be like his father and would be a conservative.
Atta Boy Larry Robinson.......keep wasting your vote on real losers! We actually need more losers like you!
Where is the money coming from? From Koch-Cain selling.
LL
It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant the teabaggers really are...Almost as stupid as giving more money to Perry now.. LOL
Cain: bring me more white princesses... ummmm
