Herman Cain tendrá su Super PAC

POLITICO.com:

Herman Cain on Tuesday night joined the club of GOP presidential aspirants with super PACs dedicated to boosting their candidacies. As with other candidates lacking big donor networks, though, it’s unclear how effective the new group will be.

Americans for Herman Cain launched just minutes before the start of Tuesday night’s CNN debate, with an email fundraising solicitation promising to fund “everything from TV ads, voter mail, advocacy phones identifying Herman’s supporters, to get out the vote programs.”

The email, sent to a tea party list rented out to a variety of conservative groups, touted Cain’s “grassroots support” and strong poll numbers, and urged recipients to donate, imploring “it’s our job to propel him to victory in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, Florida, Michigan and Arizona.”

While the Federal Election Commission’s website shows no registration for the group, its campaign director Jordan Gehrke, a direct mail veteran, told POLITICO it filed this week as a so-called independent-expenditure-only political action committee, more commonly known as a super PAC.
