Herman Cain -------> The Duncan Hunter of 2012.
Sorry, I like the guy and what he stands for but he has no name recognition...the same problem Hunter had.
Obama had zero name recognition when the primaries began, too. Don't discount Cain for that. He does, however, have other serious deficiencies as a candidate (cancers, zero political experience except for a defeat in a primary, absolutist on abortion, etc). Name recognition goes away really fast once you're running for President. Nobody knew that attractive and energizing woman from Alaska before McCain picked her for the VP slot. August 29, 2008, ABC News headline story was entitled, "
Sarah Who?" My, how that changes quickly.
