Herman Cain left the GOP presidential race last month, if not in disgrace, then certainly diminished after being bombarded by allegations of affairs and sexual harassment.
But in Tea Party circles he's still a beloved figure, which is why his endorsement of Newt Gingrich on Saturday night may not do much for the former House Speaker in his bid to win Florida, but certainly can't hurt as the campaign continues onward.
Cain introduced Gingrich in Tampa Monday afternoon at a campaign stop, but was mobbed by reporters when he made an appearance on the other side of the airport hangar where the rally was held.
"This campaign has been too negative for too long," he said, adding that the Romney campaign started its onslaught of super PAC ads in Iowa.
