>>Being CEO of Godfather’s Pizza is not the equivalent of being supreme Allied commander in World War II.” <<

As opposed to doing nothing other than putting your name on 2 ghost-written books about the nothing you did?

Damn straight.

Herman Cain accomplished more in his life by the time he was 30 than "The One" has achieved up to this point in time.

Anyone know Cain’s position on so-called “free trade”?

Don’t you realize that being a professional agitator , a. k. a., community organizer, is vastly more important than being a successful business executive with experience managing hundreds of people and turning around a company headed for bankrupty ?

Since when did Eisenhower all of a sudden become the benchmark?

Not sure what it is. I find it strange that he’s being compared to Eisenhower.

I’m sure the elites won’t like Cain whatsoever.

I drove to lansing April 14th for a Tea Party rally, and Herman Cain was mong the speakers. I was VERY impressed with this guy. Waiting to see how it shakes out, but if he happens to win the nomination, I truly believe he could beat the Marxist Kenyan. Oh, and he don’t need no stinkin’ teleprompter.

I really like him, based upon what I've seen and heard.

More so than almost every one of the other "contenders" whose names have been floated so far.

Herman Cain is a GOOD man. IMHO; Mr. Cain is Ms. Palin’s ONLY serious competition.

Whether it is Cain or someone else, I want the Republican primary voters to pick our nominee, not college professors and Washington pundits and windbags.

And so it begins with Cain, much as it did with Trump.

I think there should be an unwritten rule in that anyone who posts any negative articles (or personal opinion) re: any of the candidates, SHOULD be required to state who they support.

Not too sure about Sabato, but the "Sage" of the Republican Party (IMHO, a hack, has been, RINO, schmuck) Karl Rove-Tard, has spoken and as he gives Cain 0 chance of doing anything but picking up a "smattering" of votes, Herman might as well pack up and go home before even getting started.

Being the CEO of Godfather's Pizza....

Amazing how folks routinely ignore the rest of his equally impressive career. In addition to being the CEO at Godfather's Uncle Herman has also:

> served in the Navy
> completed his master's degree from Purdue.
> worked for The Coca-Cola Company as a business analyst
> joined Pillsbury in 1977 where he rose to the position of vice president by the early 1980s
> worked for Burger King – a Pillsbury subsidiary at the time – managing 400 stores in the Philadelphia area.
>Under Cain's leadership, his region went from the least profitable for Burger King to the most profitable in three years.
> This prompted Pillsbury to appoint him president and CEO of Godfather's Pizza, another of their then-subsidiaries. Within 14 months, Cain had returned Godfather's to profitability
> In 1988, Cain and a group of investors bought Godfather's from Pillsbury.
Cain continued as CEO of Godfather's until 1996
>he resigned as CEO of Godfather's to become CEO of the National Restaurant Association – a trade group and lobby organization for the restaurant industry
>Cain became a member of the board of directors to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in 1992 and served as its chairman from January 1995 to August 1996
>Cain went on to host a popular syndicated radio show
