Herman Cain is not a politician.
He's just another self promoter out on a book tour who somehow found himself leading in some polls for the Republican primary.
Bloomberg went digging through the GOP presidential candidate's FEC filings and found that Cain's campaign spent more than $36,000 buying copies of his autobiography, This is Herman Cain! My Journey to the White House, and other books and pamphlets he authored to hand out to his supporters. What's more, the Republican campaign bought the books from Cain's own motivational speaking company, T.H.E. New Voice Inc.
