HIGHEST POLLING REPUBLICAN HAS NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR LONG SHOT CANDIDATE HERMAN CAIN
Earlier today, Mike Huckabee joined me on my radio show to promote his new book, "A Simple Government," and while I know there are many of you that would have preferred I take a much more confrontational approach, I decided to keep it cordial and ask his thoughts on my favorite GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain. I had written about Cain in my previous article, "Raising Cain: The Untold Story of the GOP's last best hope, Herman Cain," and was pleasantly surprised by all the other Pro-Cain supporters out there. I thought since Huckabee himself had been a longshot candidate who very few took seriously when he first started campaigning for President that he would have a unique perspective on Mr. Cain.
As it turns out Huckabee had nothing but praise for Cain. “I like Herman a lot. He and I are both big believers in the fair tax. Herman is a strong free market guy, he’s a pro-life guy, he’s a terrific human being,” said Huckabee. When I continued and pressed further to see if he would support Cain for President he replied, "“Of all the people that are being talked about Herman Cain is certainly a great guy who I could support.”
Those are strong words coming from the highest polling potential GOP candidate about the person seen as least likely to win the GOP nomination, and just one more reason that Herman Cain has more support than anyone gives him credit for.

Virtues and Values Exclusive: Les Dowrey and Mike Huckabee talk Herman Cain
I doubt Herman Cain is a Huckabee fan.
I don’t know what Huckabee is up to.
I got a robocall from him tonight.
I just hung up.
He is up to something.
Aw, Geez...
I’ve often contemplated whether Palin was more interested in being kingmaker than nominee. And since Huck apparently isn’t running, now you’ll have me fantasizing about Palin and Huckabee pushing Cain.
the Huckster is the last thing Herman Cain needs.
Looks like a downgrade to me.

Run away, Hermie! Run away!
