Herman Cain Jumps In

Herman Cain, a successful businessman and radio talk-show host from Atlanta, became the first official Republican presidential contender this week, by forming an exploratory committee. He once left a cushy job with Burger King to rescue Godfather’s Pizza from bankruptcy, so he’s a guy who loves playing for high stakes against long odds.

Cain is a professional mathematician, and he knows the numbers in Washington don’t add up. He’s good at geometry, too, having been unimpressed by Bill Clinton’s attempts at triangulation. He was a major player in the defeat of HillaryCare back in 1994, after a legendary town-hall showdown with President Clinton. If our current hard-Left President tries scrambling to the center during his re-election campaign, he’ll find Cain standing at the meridian with some paperwork for him to fill out. Stock up on popcorn if Cain gets a chance to debate Obama face-to-face.

Cain is black, and has a great deal of fun mocking racial hypersensitivity. The Atlantic relates one such incident from a GOP event in New Orleans last year, when Cain reviewed the liberal caricature of Tea Party activists as “racist, redneck tea baggers”… then declared, “I had to go look in the mirror to see if I missed something!” If he runs against Obama, the Left had better shuffle the Race Card out of their deck, and resist their usual temptation to rescind the blackness of conservative African Americans. They would dissolve in a gale of Herman Cain’s laughter.

I can see it now:

Vote Cain. Our black guy is better than your black guy.

or

While Obama’s ancestors were marrying 5 wives in Kenya, Cain’s ancestors were fighting for their emancipation right here in the USA.

He will be a star once people get to see and hear him.

The MSM will never give him a minute's airtime because he is too good.

I think they know they won’t be able to trip him up - he’s had too much time on the radio dealing with liberals and thinking quick on his feet :)

>>>On the flip side, it will take the race card OFF THE TABLE, lest the left look like complete morons if they try to use it anyway.<<<

Oh, ye have little faith.

They will call him an Uncle Tom, and accuse him of being controlled by the racist white man.

And I would pop popcorn and eagerly await Herman’s response. He’s been fantastic handling the “racist tea partier”, Uncle Tom and other wise cracks from the MSM and the NAACP for a long time, the last few years especially. He has a real knack at turning it around on them and making them look ridiculous.

I would LOVE to see Cain & Zero debate. All the lame stream channels would have “audio difficulties” every time Cain spoke though. Anything to help their boy. {{caaaack}}

[justsaynomore]

Nobama’s teleprompter would explode trying to keep up.

[MissTed]

You just gave me warm/fuzzies to fall asleep to. lol!

P.S. Dont nominate Romney.

You got that right. If there's one candidate who could de-energize the TEA party base (you know, the ones who just elected us a Republican House with a 60+ seat gain), it's Mitt Romney.

Romney would virtually guarantee an Obama win.

And even if Obama lost, we'd be stuck with a liberal RINO, many of whose policies would be indistinguishable from Obama's own (see Romneycare).
