I don't forget it at all. Perry, as you said, hadn't announced yet and so wasn't really in contention for it and Romney deliberately did not participate (& isn't in any straw polls). Trying to equate them with Cain's performance is pretty desperate, but we're getting used to that from the Cain supporters now
Cain, however, did participate in said straw poll, putting money and time into it... and still didn't rate against such an intellectual light-weight as Bachmann. Hell, he even placed behind Google-hassled Santorum

at any rate, even if he doesn't make it he will be a definite shoe in for a decent cabinet position. i think he'll come home and easily take the flimm flamming saxby chamblis' senate seat in 2014.....

Yup, becoming a part of the government machine you mentioned was the problem and I mentioned was a de facto prerequisite. Funny that
