Herman Cain Encouraged By 5th Place In Iowa Poll

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain says he got a lot for his money in Iowa's straw poll.

Cain says his campaign for the Republican nomination spent nothing on ads for TV and radio and had just four buses to bring people to participate in Saturday's vote.

The Georgia businessman ended up with 1,456 votes, or 9 percent of the votes. That was good enough for fifth place among 10 contenders. Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann won the poll with 29 percent.

Cain tells CNN's "State of the Union" that his showing is encouraging and that his campaign's momentum is growing. He says he still believes he can win the nomination as well as the presidency.
