There are no Godfather's Pizza locations in the greater LA metropolitan area. The closest one is over 100 miles away in San Diego. If Herman Cain wins the nomination (which also presumably wins him the election), do you think a $120,000 investment into a Godfather's franchise be a good investment, perhaps for conservative Orange County?
Curious to be honest. I'm not ever going to do this myself, but I wonder how much weight a Cain victory would be for raising the value of Godfather's franchises in general.

I would think that putting up $120K toward a business would be based on a solid business plan, marketing studies, location, potential employee pool, cost of goods, taxes, employee benefits, things like that.
Of course, folks in Vegas bet those kinds of sums on a lot less than Cain's association with the corporation, but I don't think I would.

Basically, one needs customers. And customers would have to be repeat in the restaurant business. A Cain presidency may bring about a short term surge in customers for the novelty factor, but the rest of the points you give are right on cue. Personally, I wouldn't touch restaurant businesses with a ten foot pole.
