Rock You Like A Herman-Cain

American Thinker ^ | May 22, 2011 | C. Edmund Wright

[C. Edmund Wright]

In the shadow of the CNN complex and totally ignored by much of Atlanta's local drive- by media, Herman Cain officially divulged a very poorly kept secret Saturday: that he is running for the Republican nomination for President. And in case anyone is not sure exactly what Mr. Cain's intentions are, he clearly said that he is running with only one thing in mind -- which is to finish number one.

So while that idea may seem fanciful to the pundits and the mainstream media (and of course beltway bubbled conservatives like Charles Krauthammer), the impressive size and staggering energy of the 15 thousand folks at Olympic Centennial Park gave the rally the feel of a winning movement. Sure, I am hardly objective. However, as a veteran of political rallies and campaigns off and on since 1980 -- and a sometimes operative since 1992 -- I do not reach that conclusion lightly. Frankly, I've never been to a political event that had this energy. The closest thing I can think of to describe it was the televised introduction of Sarah Palin in September of 2008 and a Reagan rally I attended in 1980 in Columbia, S.C.

Somehow this is meaningful today, even though it was written right after Cain's official entry into the race.

Mr Cain is everything the Obamaloon is not.

I’d vote for him in a heartbeat....just as I will not evah vote for RINOmney.

[Baynative]

The media must be having trouble trying to figure out how they can go at him gracefully without looking like racists themselves.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Cain neutralizes Obama’s appeal to White Guilt.
Conversely, Romney neutralizes Obama’s negatives on Health Care.
And Perry neutralizes Obama’s negatives on immigration.

[gunnyg]

They are ALL politicians—not a smidgen of difference between Rs and Ds....

If indeed it is in the cards of the puppeteers, we will have a new one to fill the vacated “position,” then things will go back to its nwo program; meanwhile, the usurper will walk away scot-free (likely the deal has already been cut) w/o penalty of any kind except, perhaps, a bruised ego...

“The 9-9-9 Can of Whoop Ass”

http://ppjg.wordpress.com/2011/09/25/the-9-9-9-can-of-whoop-ass/

“What I do know from my limited research is that Herman Cain obtained a degree in Mathematics and an Advanced Degree in Computer Science when most of the Nation was still two decades away from hanging out with buddies playing PONG until the wee hours of the morning. He publicly opposed the Clinton Healthcare plan and is considered one of the main reasons that the government machine failed in ’93/’94….”

I do agree with wanting to know actual numbers on the 9-9-9 plan - how will it adjust the Tax base and Expenditures. Frustratingly difficult to find “Real Numbers” on this.

Herman Cain is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama ISN'T!

They'll get some black figures to call him an Uncle Tom.

That is such a sweet photo. It is plainly evident that they love each other very much.

[Boardwalk]

His wife is very classy too! What a welcome change she would be!!

[Donnafrflorida]

Lets be clear. The dems and media want Perry or Romney. Just like they wanted McCain. Then they ripped him to shreds. They have been doing this for years. Let not your heart be troubled. Cain can win against Obama. He is the only true conservative That Can Win. Obama’s record us abysmal. They have little to argue. Experience? Like the big O had ANY?? Remember we are going after a corrupt (voter fraud, illegal contributions) billion dollar candidate. Very few can win under those circumstances. Our candidate needs the least amount of issues. Cain comes from a humble background (diffuses class warfare). Can’t use race card. What’s left? These are Obama’s main talking points. Cain can think on his feet. He is a wizard in stats math and economics. He talks from the heart. Honest Calm Articulate. I am in and I intend to fight like he.ll for him. You want to talk energized? Did you see the faces of the delegates when Cain was announced? They were Euphoric!!!!!

Oh...And Mrs. Cain is so nicely and appropriately dressed. She would be a beautiful First Lady.

[Boardwalk]

I would love to have a President like Cain who can speak to us from the heart unlike 0bama who has no heart and speaks to us only through the teleprompter!

[HerrBlucher]

Easy, the same way they went after Clarence Thomas. By convincingly winning the Fl straw poll, and the likely significant increase in his polling numbers, Cain will quickly become a target. The next few weeks will be interesting.

Herman Cain on Labels: I Won't Stay on the Democrat Plantation Like I Am Supposed To!

I feel bad for her. She reminds me of me.

I have absolutely NO interest in the pubic eye. I’m seriously uncomfortable in crowds. One-on-one, I’m articulate and confident and I do just fine. Put me in a group and I stumble and fumble and spend most of my time trying to wrestle my foot out of my mouth. I’m embarrassed for days afterward.

One of the most horrifying moments of my life came when my husband told me that he was thinking of running for public office. He had a good laugh at my panic.

From what I’ve read, Mrs. Cain is in the same camp. This is going to be horrible for her. I hope she can keep a low profile. It sounds like her husband is determined to protect her.

ditto.
