I was so impressed with this man. He has the business experience and the common sense attitude we need in the WH
On every issue, immigration, foreign policy,entitlements, adhering to Constitution,budgets etc. he is spot on with our conservative values. In addition, he is not politically correct, he says what he means.
Asked who he would have as a running mate, he only would say who he respected and admired. First choice, DeMint.......that was fine with me......what a ticket that would be.
I urge you all to take a look at him, he's my choice now.
Seriously, you’ve been here since 2000. You don’t know how to mark a post as a vanity and classify it properly?
I also like Herman Cain for the reasons that you stated.
The last thing we need to do is take Obama campaign slogans and slap them on our candidates.
Problem: For the most part, the rest of the country does not know Mr. Cain, and Mr. Cain seems singularly unable to advance his agenda or cause(s).
However, we'll know when Mr. Cain has made it into the inner circle....the msm will begin to attack him in the same manner they do all "mainstream" right wing candidates.
As of yet, the msm is mum on Mr. Cain for the most part.
Problem: Mr. Cain is wont to play the race card....loosely quoted, "I'll be attacked virorously because I'm not a white candidate." Playing the race card at all....and in particular this early on, may be - in the final analysis - the measure of the man.
Best we can do is watch and wait.
I like Hermman Cain but please do not use that messiah obama speak when talking about a Conservative.

What an impressive candidate.
The question is, will the Progressives figure out a way to destroy this man for being as independent, thoughtful and courageous as he is?
Will they also find a way to use the “race card” to their advantage and make it effective with the hardcore fourty-percent of the electorate?
If he is nominated, he will truly become the first black man to run for president and not the incubated,
propagandized and groomed-for-the-office president who is now in office.
IMHO
I don't get the argument that nobody knows him. Before Palin was picked I knew zero about her. If she came up and kissed me on the street I would not have known her. I know much more about Cain, at this point.
The media have not figured out how they're going to attack him, yet. But once the do, his will be a household name.
I don’t know what Larry’s problem is. I didn’t know there was a “proper” way to make a posting and unless he is the guy in charge I think we’d all appreciate that he keep his mouth shut. Regarding Cain: I like the guy and I would surely vote for him but someone posted a few days ago that there has never been a President without government experience of some sort. I don’t know about that but it might be significant.
If he challenges The Fraudster for his bona fides to be POTUS, I’ll be all in.
but he is not a very good candidate for the actual nomination.
1. In 2006, he was diagnosed with Stage IV liver and colon cancer. While a VP (like Cheney) might be able to have serious health issues in his recent past, I don't think that the Undecideds will go for it in a Presidential candidate.
2. He is an "extremist" on abortion... and this is not a smear. His stated position is none, ever... including rape and incest. Again, the 40% of voters who are not devoted to a 'D' or 'R' vote (you know, the ones who actually decide these elections) will be greatly turned off by that, and the MSM will have a FACTUAL basis for their usual "too far-Right" mischaracterizations.
3. He has zero experience... even less than Obama did. He got 25% of the vote in a 3-way GOP nomination race for Zell Miller's old Senate seat, almost a decade ago. That is the sum total of his political experience. You don't go from losing your only HS game to being the starting QB in the Super Bowl.
He has a great mind, and great words, and many great ideas... but he would not be likely to win either the nomination or the Presidency.
I don’t understand the knock on Cain that he has no experience. Experience at what exactly? Being President of the United States? Experience in government? Because I would take someone like Cain who has a TON of experience at managing large operations - as an executive, which by the way has to be profitable at the end of the quarter, versus some government blowhard who has no incentive to be successful other than to save his own skin. The no experience angle is bunk. I work with government employees of the DoD every day and I would estimate 90% of them are wastes of Carbon.

This is an article by someone who clearly has missed the boat. If you still support him after reading this, so be it....
Sorry, I like the guy and what he stands for but he has no name recognition...the same problem Hunter had.
I don’t get the “waiting” part.
Cain and/or West would be great.
But then, so would Palin or Bachmann, and MAYBE Christie.
Under the 2011 budget, every hour of every day, the United States government spends $188 million it doesn’t have & $130 million of which is ‘borrowed’ from itself. I’m open to voting for anybody who has a plan to reverse these suicidal economic trends.
