Herman Cain: Call Me ‘Regular Folk’.
Washington Wire/WSJ ^ | 1-13-11 | Neil King Jr.

Pizza magnate and potential presidential aspirant Herman Cain says President Barack Obama has done at least one thing well.

“He has awakened the sleeping giant called ‘we the people,’” Mr. Cain said, talking from his hotel room in Phoenix, where he has been stranded due to the snow and ice in his hometown of Atlanta.

Mr. Cain got a jump on other potential GOP 2012 candidates Wednesday when he formed a presidential exploratory committee, which allows him to raise money for a possible White House run. None of the likely frontrunners have taken that step.

He’s an unknown right now who couldn’t even win office in his home state. But that’s all right. I remember when Bill Clinton was just one of the Seven Dwarves.

Maybe so - but two things:
1 - a presidential candidate on the debate circuit will get him known and
2 - He will be a powerful put-down to the myth of ‘republicans = racist’

Now that some brave and powerful black conservatives have put their necks on the line - and WON - there will be more who will step forward.

Without being able to use the race card - the libs so long successful lie - a card now maxed out and soon to be canceled - they will be hard put to refute opposition stances.

Herman is terrific, I remember when he was debating with Clinton, and he was good...seems like clinton wanted to promote him a black man who made it.. and Herman put him down, saying that it was his hard work that made him succesful

""""He’s an unknown right now who couldn't’ even win office in his home state""""""

Just run him as "The Godfather", the illiterate left would most definitely vote for him then, after all he feeds them every night, all they live on is pizza.
