“If this election is where it ought to be, and that is a referendum on how President Obama is doing, Republicans are going to win. If Herman Cain is our nominee against Barack Obama, I think he’ll sweep the south," Gov. Haley Barbour (R-Miss.) told Laura Ingraham today.
“I think if it were today my wife would vote for Herman Cain. One of my sons, I have grown children, you know, from the first day said ‘Dad, do you know Herman Cain?’ I said sure, I’ve known him since I was Chairman. He said “Man, I like him, I like what he says,” and that is one of his great strengths Laura. He is likable. He does not give you the impression that he is full of himself, but rather than he is a straight-talkin’ person who, will tell you, he call it like he sees them. He’s not trying to sugar coat anything and at the same time he is not trying to be shrill and a chest beater. He’s a straight talker and I think that makes him very, very attractive to people.”

I like Cain but if Haley Barbour is for him I may have to reconsider.
I agree. He’s sweep.
“Herman Cain Would Sweep The South”
Say, it’s that racist?
Is she comparing him to a janitor or something???
Haley Barbour is a solid Conservative and a successful governor. His steady leadership brought Mississippi through the aftermath of Katrina - in direct contrast with the socialist failures who forced Louisiana to wallow in filth and pity. How did the GOP well get so poisoned that you would think less of a candidate that Barbour endorsed?
I hope he can sweep the South and the GOP better wise up and drop that rino Romney.
OK, I’ll bite. What’s wrong with Haley Barbour? Do you always base who you support on who else does? Why should that matter?
Cain is a Southerner. He was born and raised in Georgia.
I agree with Always a Marine. In fact, when I read the headline my position on Cain took another turn toward’s the positive. Here in WI, Paul Ryan has issued a statement complimenting Cain’s 999 plan. If Ryan approves of the plan, then I support Cain even more.
How is that possible? Isn’t the South incredibly racist? Isn’t it filled with all those rednecks clinging to their religion and their guns? Maybe they just like Godfather’s pizza in the South..
Of course Herman Cain will sweep the south. He will probably carry every state W carried in 2000. The only place he will not do well is in the northeast and west coast where all those evil rich racist Democrats live. They just can’t stand to see a Black man do well.
You are not serious, right?
I agree that Barbour is a good, solid Conservative. His support is welcomed for Cain. I just donated to the Cain campaign! I like a Cain/Gingrich ticket.
And yes, Cain would sweep the South! He is gaining popularity here in Alabama.
The most interesting thing about the “racism” argument when it comes to the Tea Party is this. By definition, racism is the hatred of someone because of the “color of their skin”. Nothing more and nothing less. Therefore, how can a person who associates themselves with the Tea Party be a racist if he or she supports Herman Cain and the Tea Party folks are, according to the MSM, racist. BY DEFINITION it is impossible. I have yet to hear this question proposed to the Harry Belafonte’s or the Tavis Smiley’s. You can’t have both.
I respect HAley Barbour. He ran the Republican party and he has good common sense. Cain is so likable that he reallhy could win this. HE is very popular in Louisiana. I was disappointed when Jindal endorsed Perry. Jindal is very popular here, but he was too quick to get behind Perry. I trust Barbour more than most of the governors. He is a true conservative.

But Cain will need more than the South to beat Obozo. How will he do in the Northeast, West and mid-West?
I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.
Haley Barbour, current (two-term) governor of Mississippi and former RNC chairman (1993-1997), a staunch pro-life Republican who flirted with running for the GOP presidential nomination this year but ultimately thought better of it, is just the kind of seasoned Republican politician Herman Cain needs on his side as the GOP presidential nomination campaign unfolds. Barbour is probably right about Cain’s chances of garnering votes in the south and saying so in a public forum can only mean that some influential Republicans (like Haley Barbour) are beginning to take Cain seriously. That might mean that the alleged ‘inevitability’ of Mitt Romney as the 2012 Republican presidential nominee is eroding. Let’s pray this is the case. Meanwhile, I would love to see Sarah Palin endorse Cain - but I doubt she’ll do so until much later in the primary process. We’ll see.
Obozo does not have a clue. hee hee hee It is far far beyond anything his pea brain can imagine. Sense of unity, sense of history, sense of pride, sense of respect for others, sense of common purpose. I so look forward to November 2012. It cannot come soon enought (like a kid before Christmas). Those Southerners and Westerners who will willfully crawl over broken glass to cast this ballot. And then, we will pursue these Commie Bastards for the rest of our natural lives.

Ah, but you’ve overlooked their classic rebuttal. Any black person favored by a white Republican or the Tea Party is also, by definition, an Uncle Tom. He’s sold out to the white race, and should no longer be considered black. He’s become a pseudo-slave who knows his place.
It’ll be a little hard for the Left to come to grips with the fact that we figure Herman Cain’s “place” is the White House, I suppose, but that’s the sort of mind-tangle created with the logic the Left uses.
Praying makes a difference! During the runup to 08, every time I saw hillary!, I prayed, "Please Lord, no".
Every time I see Herman, I pray "Please Lord, yes".
I also sent him a contribution the other day.
“You are not serious, right?”
Of course not.
I am no Webster, but I would define racism as thinking one race (or your race) is superior to another race, or that one race is inferior to other races.
The TEA Party is in no way racist, IMO.

Cain won’t even need to campaign in the South. He’ll be able to spend much of his time in blue states, putting together his BLOWOUT.
