Hopefully people will quickly realize that Herman Cain is very well known and knowable.
He has conservatives that have been following him since before his run in 2004, he has an enormous amount of people he has worked with in the business sector, he has over 300,000 people listening to his show every night nationwide, and he has a paper trail of commentary, speeches, books.
He can be known because he has actually DONE things - not just wafted around the way community organizers do.
His resume, life story, etc. is verifiable every step of the way - employment, birth cert, college transcripts, you name it.
I also like that most of the things he has written he wrote before he was well known, not *because* he suddenly became well known.
Oh, don't get me wrong, he has an extremely impressive resume, but he'll be unfamiliar to the folks who spend 90% of their free/awake time watching "Dancing With The Millionaires" or "Big Brother Island".
A Republican will never be able to get the Savior Treatment Obama did and it's unlikely anyone will for years to come.
