obama won didn’t he? Herman Cain has a business background that would knock the socks off a lot of people. I just think he deserves a chance. Do not get me wrong...I would LOVE to see Sarah Palin win. I would truly love to see her be President. Not because she is a female or the first female to win and all that other nonsense of the first this and that but...because she is good for our country and our children’s future. However, I just do not think she can win it. She would be crucified number one which she has been already along with her family and has stood tall and taken it all. However, I just do not see her winning and I truly do not think she would even run. She can do so much more without her hands tied. She has done great things and can continue to do great things outside the elected arena.

Obama had been a state senator and then a US senator. Cain should be running for congress or senate.

Or governor. From a governorship Cain would be in a good position for VP or prez.

As to Palin, we simply have different opinions. I think she’s by far the strongest, most principled and charismatic candidate we have. I think she will run, but as with any candidate I also want to see her come out speaking strongly and in-depth on foreign and domestic issues. I’ve winced through some of the reality show/celebrity magazine appearances with her family, but that’s in part just my own taste and preferences.

Cain ran in the Republican primary for Senate in 2004 and only got 26% of the vote. If he wants to be President, he will have to win some elections first. The money doesn’t come to candidates who aren’t proven winners.

Herman would be my #2 choice behind Sarah. If Sarah doesn’t run but Herman does - there is a very good chance he’d have my primary vote. But if Sarah does run, there is no way I’m not voting for her.

the media already crucified Sarah Palin during the 2008 election...NO ONE was ever treated as she was...and she came back and kicked A$$ and she is NOT afraid of Charles Kraut nor the media...she knows what she is doing and she will make a great LEADER...

we working, tax paying Americans will come out in FORCE to support...watch us ROAR in 2012....we have just begun...

Herman Cain, great public speaker, smart business man...there are millions of them out there just like him...he is not a house hold name, SARAH PALIN IS....she is a Powerhouse to be reckoned with....

HAPPY NEW YEAR FREEPERS...GOD BLESS AMERICAN
