He is my fave, especially after watching the debates!

Cain against unAble (Obuma)... sounds good to me!
He's been my choice for a little while. Though (according to the idiot Janeane Garofalo) I'm actually racist for considering him so maybe I should reconsider... :laugh:

Oh man, Janeane Garofalo, don't get me started! I almost dislike her as much as I dislike Sarah Silverman. And that probably makes me antisemitic!

I don't see any of the current candidates that can beat Obama. I keep holding hope that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will run.
I haven't seen many that I don't think couldn't beat Obama... I mean, he can only run on rhetoric, certainly not his record of failed policy and his landmark healthcare bill that is soon to be struck down. His record is so dismal that the democratic base would be better off running a different candidate. Just my honest opinion.
I like Cain because he calls it like it is and he has zero "political correctness"
Quote from WARPH:
Cain against unAble (Obuma)...
OK WARPH---time to fess up---Dennis Miller coined that phrase. :D
The best thing I like about Cain is he said if he got the nomination he would pick Newt as his running mate. Seems there are alot of people wanting Christie to jump in the race but has he ever even voiced his opinion on such things as foreign affairs and such ?
Wait a second...
Aren't we here in middle America supposed to be some of those described by O'Clunker as frustrated racist rednecks who cling only to our guns and God?
All this and Cain isn't Mulato... he's got more African heritage than the Great One. And we're racist? Uh huh.
I don't think the issue of winning against Obama is as much about electability as it is about getting the silent majority off their butts on election day. Cain might be a very refreshing change.

Herman called Obama "a liar" the other day. I LOVE it!
I got this in a E-mail so I don't how much true, but it is impressive and interesting.
Herman Cain is running for president. He's not a career politician (he has never held political office). He's known as a pizza man, but there's a lot more to him. He's also a computer man, a banker, and a rocket scientist. Here's his more complete bio:
1)
Bachelor's degree in Mathematics.
Master's degree in Computer Science.
Mathematician for the US Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).
All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!
2)
Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury's 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company's poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company's best performers.
Godfather's Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather's Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.
In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather's Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.
He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.
Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!
3)
Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.
Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.
After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!
4)
Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You're Stupid.
Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).
He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.
Looks like the same stuff I read on Herman's website! That's right folks! Go to the candidate's websites and check them out!
