Herman Cain, still celebrating his surprising victory in the Presidential 5 Straw Poll in Florida over the weekend, says the debate earlier in the week was a deciding factor in his win over Rick Perry.

Perry, who stumbled through parts of Thursday’s debate, placed second, beating Mitt Romney by one and a half percent.  They were followed by Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, and Michele Bachmann.
