The Heraldadds that more than 20 “Gingrich backers were on Herman Cain’s team until his campaign fell apart.”
The release adds: “‘Campaigns are won on the ground and through the hard work of grassroots activists such as those who have joined Newt Gingrich’s team in Florida,’ said Deborah Cox Roush, Florida State Director of County Chairs.”
