Not to dismiss any of the other Republican candidates, but Herman Cain has one vastly important and significant difference - he can be positioned up against Barack Obama without the Democrats being able to pull the “race card” out one more time. To have Cain as our standard-bearer takes away the assertion made (but not ever supported by ANYTHING) that the conservative Republicans, and especially the T.E.A. members are “racist”.
If Obama pulls less than 95% of the black vote, his base is significantly diluted, and in side-by-side comparison between Cane and Obama, the current resident of the White House is revealed as morally corrupt, and incompetent as well. The basement offices of the White House are working overtime to paint Cain with something, anything, that distracts and/or diminishes Cain. Scratch deeply enough with any of these females claiming “sexual assaults” by Cain, and you find David Axelrod’s fingerprints all over the allegations. And these ARE allegations, not one shred of any kind of supporting evidence has been provided or even alluded to.
In the past, it was only necessary for a vague and unsubstantiated charge to be made, and the Republican hierarchy would crumble like a saltine cracker under the heel of a jack-booted thug. But these are not typical circumstances, and much more is at stake than a good word for the Republican leadership from the (lame-stream) media.
Yes! No more race card!
And think about this, how many black voters are going to think wait a minute, "If I vote for Herman Cain, then I will be a part of seeing two black men elected back to back. First a democrat, then a republican, something that could not happen in my lifetime again. Do I vote for looser obama? Or do I want to see history made in my lifetime and vote for Herman Cain?" Hmmm
I think they will vote for Herman Cain.
