Are you SERIOUS?

You are talking about a man who grew up in segregated South, who LIVED the civil rights era and all that entailed.

Who worked his way up in companies against the odds.

Who came out as a conservative against an avalanche of opposition - do you have any idea how hard it was to be a black conservative decades ago (from both sides)

Who beat cancer, against the odds.

Who hosted a radio show and received so much hate mail and hate calls he started keeping a long list on his studio walls.

Who had to go everywhere with security before he ever announced his run.

You have not been following him, he has been verbally attacked, slandered, and has threats on every side, including those who should be on his side, the media just does not publicize this like they did Palin.

How dare you suggest this man is “not up to snuff”. I would never suggest that of YOUR candidate. He was fighting these battles while Palin was still in high school.

Palin has had her hard knocks, but she also has had several out there who regularly defend her. Herman gets attacked from every corner, from every group except (it appears) Bachmann supporters.

What a snivelling load of crap. You're nuts if you believe that. Are you Al Sharpton? C'mon, admit it...

We can’t know how Cain will stand up to the onslaught until he has to actually do it. It didn’t take long for Perry to crumble. I’m not rooting for Cain to falter, I’m just stating the facts. He has never won an election. That’s not a criticism. We’ll soon see. I like him and trust him, so that’s a big plus. It’s hard not to like the guy. Bob

I don't know, I'm for Palin but would gladly vote for Cain. Not all Palin supporters are as you suggest.

Honestly, the best ticket for me would be Palin/Cain. I feel that both of them will stick to their beliefs and their strong conservative values against the attacks they will surely face if elected.

either one or both of them will represent us well.
