Obama’s completely toast. His base has deserted him. Anyone we run who does not energize the leftist base will win. That being the case, this is the time to nominate the most conservative candidate in the race. As far as I see it, that’s Cain.
Think about how Obama speaks. He lectures. He scolds. He guilts. Then think about the national mood. IMO, the mood of the country is akin to a person who has been lectured too much, scolded too much and bearing the weight of guilty feelings. We’re snippy, angry, annoyed, biting each others heads off over the littlest of things. This is a direct result of how Obama speaks and acts.
Contrast that with the positive message and joyful attitude pf Herman Cain. This man clearly loves this country, loves his life and is a self made success. He is the kind of person people who people like, even if they WANT to dislike him (See his apppearance this past Tuesday on the View and watch Star Jones / Whoopi Goldberg’s reaction to him for an example)
He’s the right guy for the time. He’s a “polticican” you can vote FOR - as opposed to casting your vote against the other guy.
He is what we neeed to turn the mood in this country around.
“I’m already sold on this guy - and my cousin just pointed out another benefit - I confess, I would be racially motivated to vote for him - just to make it impossible for Democrats to keep using the “race card”. Plus - he’s relaxed and has a great sense of humor!!!
If you haven’t had a chance to listen to Herman Cain speak you should take the time to hear what he has to say.

Bio on Herman Cain:
Herman Cain is running for president. He’s not a career politician (in fact he has never held political office). He’s known as a pizza guy, but there’s a lot more to him. He’s also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy. Here’s his bio:
• Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
• Master’s degree in Computer Science.
• Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
• Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
• VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).
All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!
• Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.
• Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.
• In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.
• He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.
Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!
• Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.
• Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.
After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!
• Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.
• Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).
He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.
