NEW YORK – Obama’s first opponent may be Herman Cain, an ex-pizza magnate whom Jack Kemp called “the Colin Powell of the restaurant industry.” Bryan Curtis talks politics with Citizen Cain. Finally, the 2012 presidential race can begin. Herman Cain has gone to Iowa.
On Saturday, Cain was at Tish’s restaurant in Council Bluffs, a city in southwestern Iowa across the river from Omaha. Fifty or so GOP activists, Tea Party regulars, and locals had gathered. Most of them had apparently heard of Herman Cain.
When he entered, they gave him a standing ovation. Cain, who is 65, is balding and bespectacled; he was wearing a white sweater vest and a button-down shirt. In a rich baritone, he began to talk about the GOP’s core issues. Taxes. Immigration. Abortion.
He unfurled his life story-cum-résumé with the ease of a motivational speaker. Then Cain slid into his speech’s raison d'etre: the secret sign that made him, Herman Cain, think of running for president of the United States. “By that time,” says David Overholtzer, a GOP activist who was in attendance, “he had some of the moms tearing up.”

Great!
Just remember...
Divided we fall.
It happens every time...
Speak Ebonics?
If yes, we may have a winner!
Hey,k he’s black!
Think people have learned yet that it’s NOT about the skin color but rather the ideology?
I don’t plan on supporting him or voting for him so I guess I am “racist”.
C’mon...everyone loves to see the PIZZA DUDE come to their door! LOL (Which is more than I could say for Barry!)
Cain is no Colin Powell . I first became aware of him during Hillary Care in the early Clinton years . A great conservative .
Who know’s what Kemp meant ?
Boy, are you misinformed.
What a vile insult. Cain's a lot of things, but Socialist, backstabbing, traitorous, racist, and sexist ain't among them.
Every day I get a ping from you re: Cain. He’s getting attention and I’m loving it!!
Yeah, why muddy up the waters with more conservatives.
Sheesh
Token black? Really? You know very little about Herman Cain. You really should do some research before posting.
When you sober up , you might want to ask the mods to delete your posts . Just a thought :-)
Yep, I agree!
He/she has had real over-the-top issues with my articles about Cain in the past, I’m not sure what the basis is.
On the upsite, I’m confident enough folks on FR know Cain by now to know he’s the real deal :)
Thanks, Miss Ted, sorry this one is ultra-liberal Yahoo though :)
Yes , I saw him on Cavuto last week . I made everyone shut up and listen , LOL !
