...In the 18 days between the Sept. 22 and Oct. 11 Republican debates, Cain granted interviews to six broadcast-network programs, the Media Research Center reports, plus 18 national cable-TV news shows. Cain appeared twice on CNN, thrice on the Fox Business Network, and 11 times on the Fox News Channel. He also butted heads with an especially confrontational Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC on October 6...
Since Ronald Reagan left Washington in 1989, Republicans have yearned for a presidential nominee who could present free-market ideas with passion, energy, and commitment. They have longed for someone who would labor for limited government.
And they have sunk into disappointment and simmered in rage as two generations of Bushes surrendered to their patrician instincts by ducking fights and letting the left bludgeon them until they barely had a cheek left to turn.
Herman Cain embodies the Reagan approach. He is confident, tough, and combative, yet sunny, funny, and buoyant. Cain permanently could demolish the Democrats' vile, vulgar lie that the GOP is the Vatican of U.S. racism.
Those who oppose President Barack Obama are not wrong, misinformed, or misguided; rather they are bigoted, Democrats too often contend. Last month, Rep. Andre Carson, D-Ind., claimed that pro-tea party Republicans in Congress want to see blacks "hanging on a tree."
If Republicans nominate Cain, the Democrats' default argument against the Right utterly implodes. Liberals then might have to battle conservatives on the merits.
Cain does not need to win 60 percent or even 40 percent of the black electorate. If 20 percent to 25 percent of black voters support this successful, self-made son of a maid and a chauffeur, the Democratic base dissolves, and victory belongs to Cain and many down-ballot Republicans wise enough to clutch his coat tails.

Agreed, and I can give a number of reasons I support Cain. I like 999 (I know its not perfect, but it takes us in the right direction). He seems like the candidate most likely to veto gratuitous appropriations (although I doubt he would be as hardline on spending as I would like). I have the impression that Romney and Perry would both enjoy more pork barrel spending as long as they had a say in who gets it. Clarence Thomas is his favorite Justice and mine too.
That being said, there is a certain amount of schadenfreude in seeing Herman Cain nominated.
No, it would not
democrats will never let this issue go
never
It is too valuable a tool to keep Blacks on the democtay plantation, to assure them that the GOP is rasist
I don't bash Cain and never get personal. Cain is a personable man and very likeable but that means nothing to me.
Perry is as Conservative as Cain any day if not more.
I no longer put it past anyone. The only black conservative I believe did not vote for Obama for sure would be Colonel West and Rev.Jesse Peterson
I wish that were true, but there will still be black activists who will claim that Cain got ‘his’, then turned his back on his black brothers and sisters. I heard a guy on Hannity’s show last week who was spouting that carp, and I’m sure, if Cain is nominated, that he’ll only get louder about it. Doesn’t make it true, but you KNOW the MSM will give this guy a forum.
Don't you think it's useful to know what journalists are saying about the candidates? I have no problem with Freepers posting articles with which I disagree. Race WILL be an issue, if Herman Cain is nominated, because the Democrats will make it so.
Reading others' opinions helps me to hone mine when I come up against someone who doesn't know if they want to vote for Obama again, and wants to know about the Republican candidates. By having as much info as possible, I can make a better argument for our eventual nominee, that will convince someone who may not be as conservative as I.
Something you Perrywinkles refuse to learn is that just because you repeat a lie doesn't make it true.
His "slobbering love affair with Rooty-Toot" possibly had something to do with geography, since Murdock was based in New York at the time and was a columnist for the New York Post.
Good tagline!
Thanks. It was a line from a post I wrote a few months ago and someone suggested it would make a good tagline.
