Excellent article and overview of Herman Cain's life and experience. One mistake in the article is that Herman does not believe an audit of the Fed is needed. He has said (repeatedly) that he would not stand in the way of an audit, but that there were more pressing issues he would focus on as POTUS (for the Paul folks out there)

Pinganator!

[Senator Goldwater]

I respect Herman Cain, but in 2012 we MUST defeat the Obamunist.

Not to be crass, but the electorate will not replace a black president with another black president.

You know it, and I know it.

[Tupelo]

Herman Cain, one of the very few I could or would vote for.
Every time I learn something new about Mr. Cain, the higher he moves on my list. This one jumped him over Haley Barbour.

Hermies plans above will change not much at all..
Much more than that must be done.. only Congress can make the required changes..
Having a President that will merely sign all the needed legislation (BY THEM) is all thats required..

The federal government needs to be reduced in an extreme way..
The President can do NONE of that..

BUT the President Can gut the Executive Branch like a fish and eliminate much of it..
Since a proper Congress would defund much of it anyway...

A President can only spend what Congress gives him to spend anyhow..
Herman Caine needs to provide bonifides to his political game plan...
Starting out as President smacks of Affirmative Action..
Hes needs to run for something else first.. and prove himself..

Its WAY too soon to have another Black high plains drifter pulling switches in the White House..
We need time to recover from the current black moron in charge..

I’d vote for him in a heartbeat.

Now granted, unless Congress backs him, he’ll have a struggle with them...but let’s hope Congress is a Republican bastion in 2012 and beyond.

Good point. You’re on to something. The commie ‘RATS loaded Barry into the Oval Office just to make sure that Americans will never agree to another black president. They had to do something to discredit conservatives like Herman Cain and LTC West. A black conservative in the White House would spell the end for Georgie Soros, the white boy union thugs and the white boys down at the DNC not to mention racebaiters like Sharpton and Jackson. JMO.

[justsaynomore]

Sorry, I know no such thing... From where I am (involved in his grassroots organization), the level of enthusiasm is unlike anything I’ve seen for any other candidate. The only real naysayers I come across are on FR, and usually because they have “other motives”

Fancy seeing you here again. Obsess much? Sorry, hose, we won’t be voting for your favorite Gingrich. Will you try and deny it again?

“A black conservative in the White House would spell the end for Georgie Soros, the white boy union thugs and the white boys down at the DNC not to mention racebaiters like Sharpton and Jackson. JMO.”

I don’t know about that. Have you ever noticed how blacks hate an honest black cop. He would just be another “Uncle Tom.” I think they would continue to follow the give me something for nothing crowd and the liberals and Jews would accuse him of the same things as the blacks.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Good point.

[gleeaikin]

Judging from the almost complete absence of black faces at the Glen Beck rally in Washington, DC, I would say you are absolutely right. That observation aside, I would say his chances are about as good as any of the other proposed Republican candidates. The competition for the nomination will probably be a nightmare judging from what I have seen to date.

Herman Cain

born December 13, 1945 in GA (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)

Parents were
Luther Cain Jr., born March 16, 1925 in TN, died March 29, 1982 in Atlanta, GA
Lenora Davis, born July 27, 1925 in GA, died August 20, 2005 in Atlanta, GA

Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)

Herman Cain is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.

[PaleoBob]

I can answer the question.

Cain is a guy who should be running for a lesser office, winning it, serving and proving himself in the state house or federal legislature, and only THEN running for president.

[GloriaJane]

If Sarah Palin doesn’t run I would love to cast my vote for Herman Cain. I used to listen online to his radio show. He’s brilliant!

In fact, my dream team would be Sarah Palin/Herman Cain. I’d settle for Herman Cain/Sarah Palin too.

[daisy mae for the usa]

Is there a Herman Cain list at FR? If so, I’d like on be on it.

[justsaynomore]

I’d be happy to add you to the Herman Cain ping list :-)

[Nuc 1.1]

I think I will vote for this man in the primaries. We, the pubbie conservative base, should coalesce our support around 2-3 candidates prior to Iowa. This will prevent splitting the conservative vote, allowing a RINO to once again be our nominee. This is how they beat us over and over again. We simply cannot allow our vote to be split up as it was last primaries. Candidates, in part you bear responsibility in this. Check your egos at the door. Serve your country by getting out if you are not getting traction.

Newtie is not my favorite.. hes an evil son of a b!tch!!..
But he does have the gift of gab.. the man can talk a good talk..
Hes a force to be reckoned with.. trashing him would be a waste of resources..
He would make a good addition to the gaggle of candidates.. so would the comb-over guy..

Whats more important then President is a sweep of the Senate..
With a Stong republican Congress much can be accomplished..
Even with a RINO President.. to sign everything off..

A sixty member Senate is what "WE" need.. the President is just gravy..
OH!.. and opposition in the primarys to current RINOs..
THEN... we're talking about a serious position of HOPE and Change to Washington D.C.. and its extremely POSSIBLE TOO..
