When Cain made the comment about the rock and the comment about Perry being his VP it bothered me, because they seem like natural allies. Perry had also just made complimentary comments about Cain. That is when I began to wonder about a Cain/Romney team up.
I also don't like Cain's comments about black Empowerment Zones, but those things aside, I like Cain. Even when certain Freepers get downright nasty toward Perry, I would not put that at Cain's feet.
I am looking for the best candidate and I think that is Perry.
By the way, a month and a half ago Cain and Perry's numbers were reversed. There is 2 1/2 months to go till Iowa. Didn't Huckabee win Iowa?
“I also don’t like Cain’s comments about black Empowerment Zones, but those things aside, I like Cain.”
They’re not BLACK empowerment zones. The zones would apply to ANY community where there is very high unemployment and few opportunities for the people living there. As I understand it, the states themselves will choose which areas are in the greatest need - they put in an application and the fed will pick the best ones.
Black, white, Hispanic... I’m quite sure some American Indian areas will qualify.
Empowerment zones are race neutral.
