What if Hermain Cain wins the GOP nomination?
   
He just won the Florida straw poll, and a lot of people are starting to support him. Unlike everyone else on the GOP ticket, Cain is a likable guy. He doesn't do the negative stuff the others do, and he is pretty clear on what he wants.

So what if he wins the GOP nomination? My former roommate, who is black, supports Obama, but always says he hates when Obama talks to black audiences. He says that Obama presents himself as "you know you will support me, so just got ahead and do it."

How well will this work against Herman Cain? A black man that was raised by black parents and experienced life much more similar to the majority of the black population than Obama. Not being black, I can't try and pretend that I know how they would feel.

Additionally, how would Cain be presented in the black community? Would they try to market him as a "real" black man because he had 2 black parents and experienced a childhood like other black people?

Any thoughts? I think it would create a pretty interesting debate.

Herman Cain scares the hell out of the DUmmies.

Or did the teabaggers we've gotten to know suddenly see the light and reject their racism?

The Tea Party has never been about racism.

Cain won't win the nomination.

- Straw polls mean nothing. They're really just a beauty contest that gets won by the candidate who buses in the most supporters. Just ask Michele Bachmann, the winner of the Iowa straw poll.

- Cain has never held elected office. Such people don't win GOP or Democratic presidential nominations, only third party. And they always lose in the general election.

- He has being a "Tom" going for him, but 'baggers will never rally around a black guy.

7. not holding office might be his biggest advantage
   
Most people in America, and especially those on the right, are tired of career politicians. If you've seen even a few minutes of the GOP debates, you know how important having private sector experience is to the voters.

I think being able to say "I've taken charge of a bankrupt company and turned it completely around, I'm ready to turn a bankrupt country around" will be a huge benefit to him.

Obama is constantly criticized by Republicans for not experiencing "real life". Obama went to fancy private schools, then works as a community organizer before becoming a public sector leech. Cain is the anti-Obama in this sense.

When faced with the choice between two black guys, the teabaggers will sit the election out in droves

I wonder how Allen West won, if all the teabaggers sat out in droves.

Dead last in every primary.

That's why Allen West and Tim Jones from SC lost, right?  :-)

The point about Herman Cain is not that he's a black man. He's a rich man who ran a very successful business and doesn't understand jack shit about how government works. I judge him by the content of his lack of character.
   

Better to have a man who doesn't understand how govt works than a man who doesn't understand business trying to fix the economy.

11. Then we have a shot at winning the south
   
since many GOPers won't vote for him no matter what. The money would also be cut short.

No person of color is going to be presented as a "real" anything while spouting conservative talking points.


It would be an Obama landslide IMO.

Keep telling yourself that lie and when Herman Cain is POTUS you will be in total shock.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

TexasCop .... is that you?!  LOL!

I know you still read the site. 

I personally would LOVE to see Herman Cain get the nod.  I don't think it will happen but if it does I will gladly vote for him over O'bama.  I WILL be there and I consider myself to be Tea Party.

Straw polls mean nothing.
Actual votes mean nothing.
Exit polls are the everything.

For the record, I don't give much weight to straw polls, but I found the DUmmie position somewhat ironic considering the overall DUmmie opinion of exit polls.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

I doubt he would lose big, I'm pretty sure he will get the Tea Party vote and the Independents, Barry will get the black vote and the moonbat vote.

BTW, to all you lurking DUmb jackasses, I'm voting for Cain due to his experiences and qualifications. What did you vote for Obama on? He had NEITHER. And my vote is because I'm a racist and want to see a black man in office? I actually HAVE a reason to vote for Cain. ALL you dumb ****s HAD was color. He was the LEAST QUALIFIED on the Democratic primary. THE LEAST.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

You'll soon learn, padwan, that facts, reality and truth are whatever DUmmies say they are. They have but to type it on the page and it becomes set in stone.

That's why they don't let "others" post there and they don't allow mention of this site. The Hive cannot be jarred by objectivity. Think of M. Night Shyamalan's The Village, only populated with disassociated, perpetually-angry hippies, and the monsters in the forest are Conservatives.
