I like hime too! He’s ready to fight fire with fire, unlike McLame who just let Bill Ayers, Rezcko, Rev. Wright and BO’s other neighbors slide.
That was awful... I like it.
Try reading this essay: Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, and Presidential Qualifications and then ask yourself the same question.
By any measure when it comes to non-political office experience, Cain is at least as qualified (and imho more qualified) than Romney--who is universally considered "qualified" to be president by the MSM.
So what makes Romney qualified and Cain unqualified? Romney held office four years as governor. But Romney's stint as governor was an absolute disaster. We're not just talking about RomneyCare, The Boston Globe pointed out as Romney was leaving office that he showed no leadership as governer and left the state in overall worse shape (much worse shape) than when he took office.
So having been a total disaster as a governor makes Romney qualified to be president, but never having held office (and otherwise being just as qualified as Romney) makes Cain unqualified?
Mine too. The more I see of this man the better I like him.

Ditto!!
Who (other than Ron Paul) would be a starter for you?
I know you’re referring to the GOP primaries,
but in the general,
any leftist that claims our candidate is “unqualified” needs to be mocked, ridiculed, and laughed at -
“after ‘bammers? You gotta be kidding me!”
We need someone who will rip the entire immoral, decadent, Leftist "movement" to shreds and leave the immoral, decadent Leftist "leaders" and the morons who enable them behind in the garbage dump of history where they belong.
Maybe Herman Cain is the hero rising to the need. Let's hope so. But we must proceed with caution--and evaluate every candidate for hero very carefully. We cannot afford to make a mistake.
They see him as an escaped slave.
Unless I find out he likes young boys & billy goats. . . . .
I might even overlook that if he beats Obama! lol
“Herman Cain is my name and I work on the ....” eh, never mind.....
The left is easily defeatable.
Just don’t allow them to get away with “arguments in lieu of arguments” and make them address the issues.
I think Cain can do just that, because he takes away their biggest shield, the race card.
Don't trust the Boston Globe. Skipping the obvious issues around Romney Care, the rest of his term was quite well-managed. He took over the state in dismal economic shape and made major changes to help right the situation. However, these powers were limited since he faced a veto-proof legislature, but was given strong executive powers when the budget was in deficit.
I think the biggest complaint you could make of him is that he failed to increase the number of Republican legislators, which is certainly a big negative, but was also the case for his Republican gubernatorial predecessors. The economy did take a huge nosedive during his tenure, but that was merely a reflection of its dependence on high tech, and was unavoidable.
With the Romney Care issue, I feel he is clearly a weak candidate given the GOP 2012 focus on repealing Obamacare. Obviously, there are questions regarding key Republican platform issues such as abortion. But don't call his tenure as a governor a disaster based on the reporting of an unabashedly liberal newspaper, because that just is not the case.
BIG 10-4
They’ll call him an Uncle Tom...treat him like Clarence Thomas and Condoleeza Rice.
Ideal would be The Hermanator as POTUS candidate and Jim DeMint as his Veep. Tap Sarah Palin as Secretary of the Interior, Paul Ryan as Secretary of the Treasury, and John Bolton as Secretary of State.
This guy’s moving up fast on my list.

There is an interesting entry from Wiki on Herman Cain. Do we know yet Cain's positions on amnesty for illegals, border security, trade policy and general national sovereignty issues?
Bush, Fox and Harper held several mostly off the record meetings involving the SPP, meetings not too well regarded here at FR.
Mr. Cain “Bring It” Ping :-)

If by “we” you mean folks who have searched the internet, the answer is yes. Cain has intentionally been “youtubed” as much or more than almost any other pubic figure since 2009. FTR he is against amnesty, big believer on border security, firmly behind Arizona and other states against the Feds.
I don’t know specifically what his trade positions are except that he knows our own Federal government is our industry’ biggest problems through taxation and regulation and unionization. He is pro business.
