Herman Cain is enjoying his moment in the spotlight.
The former Godather's Pizza mogul is feeling the love from an attention deficit GOP electorate, whose majorities continue to say in polls that they are looking for that somebody very special to enter the race. Hot off his straw poll victory last Saturday in Orlando, Cain is now in third place in a Fox News survey released Thursday.
That poll has Cain at 17 percent, placing behind only the presumed two front-runners in the race, Mitt Romney at 23 percent and Rick Perry at 19 percent.
Meanwhile, a Survey USA poll conducted for WFLA-News Channel 8 in Tampa has the businessman in second place in Florida, trailing only Mitt Romney by 2 percentage points, 27-25.
