It?s a good time to be Herman Cain.
The former Godfather?s Pizza CEO has been on a roll in the days since his surprise straw poll win at Florida?s Presidency 5 conference over the weekend, racking up more media attention, new support and fundraising than he?s had for months.

Cain isn?t seen as any more likely a nominee after the straw poll than he was going into it. Though he won decisively, the results are largely seen as more significant because of Rick Perry?s distant second-place finish after a strong push to win. Cain?s still trailing in the polls ? the most recent, released Monday by CNN and ORC International, shows Cain with 7 percent support, behind Perry, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich and tied with Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Sarah Palin. But Cain?s been riding a boost of momentum that?s revitalized a campaign that had stalled in recent weeks.
Now the trick is keeping it up.
There won?t be a debate for a week, taking the presidential campaign out of the news just at the moment when he?s getting his time in the spotlight again. On top of that, Cain?s still recovering from the flu, and he?s about to set out on a long-scheduled national book tour that will take him out of daily campaigning.
In the meantime, he?s basking in the attention ? he even got a surprise endorsement from comedian and conservative talk show host Dennis Miller, who said he was ?over the moon? when he heard Cain won.
?This guy?s the one who makes sense to me. He?s a sweet man. He?s not self-aggrandizing,? Miller said on his show.
Cain spokeswoman Ellen Carmichael said the campaign hadn?t known in advance that Miller planned to endorse Cain or offer to host a Los Angeles fundraiser for the businessman, but that?s what the past few days have been like.
?It?s been a hell of a ride this far,? Carmichael said.
Carmichael said it?s the latest in good fundraising news for the campaign, which she said has been raising ?several hundred thousand a day? since Saturday.
Record traffic crashed the campaign?s website several times, and the media requests have been flowing in steadily. On Monday alone, Cain was on NBC?s ?Today? show and three different Fox News programs, along with at least five radio shows. Later this week, he?ll add CNN?s ?The Situation Room? and NBC?s ?Tonight Show? to the list.
