Col. Allen West is equally as popular with the American people and a rising star who many want to run for President in 2012.
I like Mr. Cain and Col. West a lot. Whether they can be viable for 2012, remains for me to see. But, I am thrilled they are stepping up, not only as conservatives and men of honor, dignity and ability, but to represent the conservative black community who need their presence in a world that only gave them Jessie Jackson, et al as options. I believe it is a good day for the black conservative community and of all conservatives who want government to be by the people, for the people and of the people. I look forward to watching them soar.
