Herman Cain is incredibly conservative and he is black .. he would be a tough opponent for Obama. Unfortunately, I do not put my faith in the straw polls. In fact, I ignore them. A whole lot more is going to have to happen before I see Cain winning the nomination. One day a candidate can be at the top and the next thing we know they are trailing like Bachmann and Perry. When you look at how things have been going, it’s far too soon to get excited. I am not convinced that all the candidates who are going to run .. are in the race yet. We’ll have to wait and see.
A sure way to get the candidate of those who aren't "waiting and seeing", e.g. Romney, into office. The race is on, sitting on the sidelines doesn't cut it.
