Cain predicts top three finish in Iowa caucuses
Nov. 15, 2011 11:31 am
Herman Cain isn't ruling out a victory in the Iowa's precinct caucuses, but said he is being “realistic rather than overly optimistic” in predicting a top three finish.
"You just never know in politics, you can't accurately predict all the different dynamics that may impact the voters, the caucus-goers,” the Georgia businessman said before meeting those caucus-goers at a Dubuque coffeehouse Nov. 15.
What happens in Iowa, Cain said, can set the tone for the remainder of the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
“Finishing in the top three will suggest that my message of solving the problems, of putting bold solutions on the table, is resonating with Iowa voters,” Cain said.
