Herman Cain officially kicks off 2012 presidential race

Just under 22 months before Election Day, we have our first semi-official entrant in the 2012 presidential race.
Republican Herman Cain announced Wednesday that he's setting up an exploratory committee to raise cash for a potential bid for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.
Wait, Herman who?
A former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and executive at Pillsbury, Cain is a conservative radio host in Atlanta who has been a popular figure on the GOP speaking circuit over the last year. Cain, who is black, is perhaps best known nationally for speaking out last year against charges made by the NAACP that the tea party is made up of "racist elements."
Last month, Cain topped a 2012 presidential straw poll organized by the conservative blog Red State, beating out the likes of Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee. Still, Cain, who also previously headed the National Restaurant Association, has virtually no name recognition beyond the GOP grass roots and is not even a blip in most early presidential polls — not that he views that as a problem.
The rest is at:

And so it begins. I really think that the Obamessiah has polluted the well for black Republicans, myself. But, I'm liking the fact that he's a conservative.
-
Ive occasionally listened to Cain over the years on the radio. He is pretty good overall. Has a bit of a libertarian streak I believe. Does seem to have solid conservative values. :cheersmate:
-
Hehehehehehe I wonder what the Big Eard Idiot is going to say if Herman gets to be hid opponet in 2012. I'm thinking that those debates are so not going to go Obama's way.
-
Yes, I believe Herman would open a nice can of whoop ass on the man/child marxist.
-
I'm still not that familiar with Cain. With this news though, I will make sure to read up on him as much as possible.
If Cain wins the bid, the debates against Obama will be popcorn worthy.
-
is he clean and articulate?
-
I've heard tapes of him. I liked what I heard, definitely.

HA HA! Yes, I do believe you are correct, he would whoop.

Pizza delivery forMongoObama? Godfather Pizza? This could a fun campaign. :fuelfire:

Awesome
-
Great news!

Sad to say that I have little faith in Herman Cain making it into the GOP nomination. He ran for an office this past election cycle and couldn't even carry that. Then there's the entire "experience" issue, which the LEFT will undoubtedly play on. (Hypocrites) And, I GUARANTEE that the uncle Tom or House Negro moniker will be solidly placed on him in order to further disparage him. I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade, but that's how I see it.

I just signed up at his site to get emails from him. I'd like to learn more.

He often subs for Neal Boortz, as well as having his own show. He has no love for Lord Zero or anyone on the left.

What kind of experience would you prefer? The kind Obama has? Gore has? Kerry has? Or the kind that's almost always ABSENT from the political scene, BUSINESS? As for him losing the Georgia senatorial race, he was pretty much an unknown and almost carried the election to a run-off.
This man WILL get my vote. I'm sick of f'n attorneys. I want a business man.....a SUCCESSFUL business man. As for anyone labeling him an uncle Tom, I say bring it. He'll rip'em to shreds.

Amen! Let them bring it, I think Mr Cain is more than ready for the leftist jabs. Especially the racial ones.
-
Look forward to those debates...he is brilliant and comes across as a nice guy...even if he does not make it to the finals he will have a lot of wisdom to share.

A business man rather than an attorney or career politician would be a breath of fresh air to the polluted garbage in DC. The Repubs need someone like him who has business experience and who is not a knuckle dragging wimpy Republician. He would be a good candidate for VP as Palin's running mate.

Or Sarah would be a good VP running mate for him.

Palin cannot win the general election and there's no way in hell I would vote for her over Cain.

The next election will be against Obama. It'll be who can beat Obama. I've supported Herman Cain since '03. When comparing the two:
Cain actually HAS ancestors who were enslaved, yet he loves this country and KNOWS it's exceptionalism. Obama's only "American" part is a white, liberal skank, yet he hates it.
Cain is an alum from an HBCU, and probably the most recognized, Morehouse. Obama attended, supposedly, a bunch of schools that are in the white liberal circle.
Cain has actually created jobs and worked in business, as well as expanded business. Obama is nothing but a community organizer who's created NO jobs.
Cain is "one of the people", having lived in Kansas, Nebraska while CEO of Godfathers, even Philly, and is from Atlanta. He follows, by his admission, Georgia football, Nebraska football, and all Atlanta pro teams. Obama is from, supposedly, Hawaii, and lived in Chicago and NYC while, supposedly attending Columbia. TRULY NOT "average America".
In politics, sadly, it's all about pandering to groups. Dims do this very well. Conservatives, not so well. If I were one of his advisers, I would advise him to do something that's not normal to him. He's an individualist. A Constitutionalist. ...but this is, sadly, war. Morehouse has NEVER had an alum as President. Columbia and Harvard have. He graduated from Purdue as well. Don't know if they have. He absolutely loved his time in Nebraska. I'd use that. I would use anything I COULD to defeat these Socialists.
Now please, tell me where I'm going wrong. Herman Cain IS f'n electable. He is LOVED in Iowa and everywhere else he attends a Tea Party event. He IS the real deal and isn't up there just speaking lip service to the masses. I will NOT vote for a Palin, a Gingrich, a Romney, a Huckabee, etc. in the primaries. I'm sorry, I'm tired of retreads. I want a man of the people.

I wish him nothing but the very best

Nice summation from Herman ...
-
I can understand why Obama and the Democrats fear Cain. He is a great salesman among his other attributes like common sense and not being a professional politician. His message resonates to the voters in a similar way of Reagan. If he is our nominee, I think he could tear Obama a new asshole in the debate and win the election easily. Please, no Romney.

I love Herman Cain :yahoo: ...and you're right, he's a brilliant, successful man! I would love to pit him with Obama...I could see Obama slurring...errr, errrr, duh, ummm.... lol
