In this article it describes how Herman Cain's campaign is highly unorganized and goes against how a traditional campaign should be organized. Cain has hardly shown up and campaigned for the New Hampshire Primary or the Iowa Caucus. Both of these primaries have a lot of media attention and can create a lot of momentum for Herman Cain if he does well in them. Instead he has spent the bulk of his time running a campaign through the south. He has occasionally mishandled potential big donors and ignored possible voters. Cain who was a former business executive has been rising to the top of the polls and his campaign has shown promise since it began in the summer. However Cain has made several contradictory remarks on abortion and foreign policy which have forced him to spend time clarifying his own remarks. The campaign has acknowledged that it has been hard to keep up with Cain's growing popularity and that they are all working hard to make it happen. Also because Cain does not have political experience his campaign rests on the fact that he would bring executive level experience from the business world to the world of politics.
I believe that Herman Cain needs to create a better managed campagin in order to win the nomination from the Republican Party. He also needs to focus his attention more on detail and stop contradicting himself on his views which creates distrust among the voters. If the politican constantly is second guessing himself how will the public view him as a candidate for the presidency. More campagin management needs to be put in place which includes hiring more staff and creating more advertising mercandise to spread his name around to the public and his views on certain issues. Also since this is the primary election he needs to start gathering support from his base of voters which are the more liberal Republicans.
