Georgia businessman and Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain won the statewide straw poll held by the Georgia Republican Party on Saturday with 26 percent of the vote, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He beat Texas Congressman Ron Paul by only three votes.
Cain was unable to appear at the poll at the Georgia National Fairgrounds because he was still returning from a trip to Israel to attend Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Courage” rally.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry came in third with 20 percent of the vote and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who represented Georgia’s 6th congressional district from 1979 to 1999, finished fourth with 18 percent.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney came in fifth with 6 percent and Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann finished sixth with 3 percent.
Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman, Thad McCotter, Buddy Roemer, and Gary Johnson all received less than 1 percent of the votes.

Herman Cain barely edges out Ron Paul in Georgia straw poll
—————————————–
Cains popularity in Georgia is due to the fact that he was/is a businessman there and is better known than R. Paul is. He worked for Coke and for Burger King before him and his partners bought Godfathers from Pillsbury. And of course, he just happens to be black.
Hope you are all aware of the fact that he worked for the FED. Fact! Cain became a member of the board of directors to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in 1992 and served as its chairman from January 1995 to August 1996, when he resigned to become active in national politics. HHHMMM??!!!!!!
The elections are 14 months out. A lot of things shall happen between then and now.
Bravo2…….out
