Herman Cain may be a longshot Republican presidential hopeful, but the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza showed on Tuesday night that he is a savvy enough politician to take advantage of some free publicity from a far more well-known potential GOP contender.
When former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin posted to her Facebook page and her Twitter feed a link to a column that Cain had penned for Investor's Business Daily, the Atlanta businessman responded within minutes to underscore the high-profile exposure by thanking Palin over Twitter and adding an additional link to his piece for anyone who had missed it.
Cain's weekly commentary that Palin publicized was titled "Merely Taking Positions Is Not Leadership" and began with a jab at the press -- a device that Palin is no stranger to employing in her own public comments.
"All the attempts by the media to make stories out of the budget battles going on in Washington, D.C., will not change the bottom line of how it will end up, no matter how many ways they try to create a story," Cain wrote. "Namely, the taxpayers will get stuck with more debt and more taxes again."
Cain went on to chastise President Obama's proposed budget while praising the leadership of Republican governors Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Rick Snyder of Michigan....

*Apologies to Calvin and Hobbes*
Polls show ol Sparky is considered a stupid and boring troll by 99.9% of FR.
Another member posted an article from Anchorage Daily News -- a typical and acceptable source here -- that has comments from Frank Bailey, Palin's former aide, about her appointment of pro-abortion justice Morgan Christen to the Alaska Supreme Court and IT WAS DELETED WITHIN AN HOUR OR SO AFTER IT WAS POSTED.
You and apparently the moderators here are scared to death of having an honest debate about Palin.
It was you who just said a few minutes ago that Sarah enjoys the same worship as Obama did in the last election, so now you are backtracking fast.
I gotta work tomorrow. It was fun chatting with you, Sparky.
LOL!
Ouch!
Night.
Criticizing Palin is sexist? lol
You're the cross-burning, white-hooded KKK member that refuses to support Herman Cain!
Because she has almost a blind following among a large percentage of conservatives. Throwing that support behind a Republican candidate would help the candidate in a primary.
In the general election, she could actually hurt the Republican nominee in certain states by campaigning for him or her.
“Cain is great. I can imagine him as an excellent press secretary for a conservative pesident.”
AS a conservative President, he’d be quite adept at HIRiNG “an excellent press secretary” as well as brilliant staff, cabinet heads, etc.
Don’t worry - the press would still go insane.
“OTOH, BHO was loaded with political and governing experience, a wide-open record of his lifelong experiences, his educational and intellectual development and achievements, all while interracting with the people of America in their daily lives.”
Right on. And don’t forget his tremendous “name recognition”. (Equal sarcasm here :-))))))))))))
Let’s have Rep/Col. West rise to a House leadership position.
How about we see Cain elected to some...ANY...political office before we attach him to a presidential ticket?
Allen West is light years ahead of Cain on any sane person's electability scale.
It seems some folks are getting banned after having an exchange with you...Seems to be somewhat of a pattern....
Jim warned Ol’ Sparky the other day. Apparently Sparky didn’t pay it sufficient heed.
I basically agree with Ol’ Sparky, not you.
To bad he got banned after having an exchange with you.
