Iowa caucus campaign reset by Cain's 'surge and suspend' decision

The series of “surge and fade” candidates that has marked the race for the top prize in the Iowa first-in-the-nation precinct caucuses has been succeeded by Herman Cain's surge and suspend strategy.

A month ago, Cain was leading the race according to an Iowa State University/Gazette/KCRG-TV 9 poll with the support of 24.5 percent of the 1,256 registered Iowa voters polled.

Iowa Poll released over the weekend showed Cain's support had plummeted to just 8 percent. Former House Speaker
