As best I can tell, the most prominent conservative voice to endorse Cain is … Dennis Miller. Unlike Romney and Perry, Cain just doesn’t have any elected officials and party leaders who are widely known and generally respected by the GOP base making his case.
His campaign-stop strategy could use some work too:
One wonders if Cain’s campaign has any idea what it’s doing. This past weekend, Cain took a bus trip through Tennessee (a March 6 Super Tuesday primary state, really?) from Memphis, his birthplace, in the west all the way to Cookeville in the east. Such counterintuitive campaigning suggests Cain’s schedule is determined as much by random chance as by political strategy (though opportunities to sell autographed copies of his book at $100 a pop seem to make it onto the schedule). This is not the way to win a Republican nomination, particularly one that seems to have growing value by the day.
