Herman Cain: What's Next?
Martha Zoller Radio Show | 7-29-2004 | Mr. Conservative

Posted on 07/29/2004 9:23:35 AM PDT by cainin04

This morning Herman Cain took his first steps toward his future. Sitting in for Martha Zoller, Cain sounded like an old pro on the radio. When asked "What are you going to do next?" Cain replied "Stay Tuned."

The show went well--with lots of callers. Mr. Cain provided the listeners with his insight on all the major issues (The War on Terror, Medicare, Social Security, Taxes, liberals, conservatives, George W. Bush and more).

No one yet knows what Herman Cain's next step will be in politics, but doing shows like Martha Zoller could prove a huge factor in helping get his name out there for those who were not familiar with him on July 20, 2004.

It will be interesting to see if he gets an invite to speak at the Republican National Convention. The democrats showcased Barack Obama--and he was quite impressive--you must admit. Now,if the GOP wants to impress the nation by showing its "Rising Star," they will give us Mr. Herman Cain live on Prime Time Television at their Convention. Anyone who heard Cain speak at the Georgia State GOP Convention in Columbus, ealier this year, knows that not only will he not disappoint, he will make a speech more impressive than that of Mr. Obama or even Bill Clinton.

Mr. Cain is one of the most impressive speakers and brightest minds to enter the political scene in many years. It's simple to see that those with deep conservative roots have already caught onto Mr. Cain's message. Why? Because it is not that different from the optimism and "Bold Leadership" of conservaitve heros William F. Buckley, Rush Limbaugh, and Ronald Reagan. The real question now is "Has the GOP leadership caught on?"

For now, we'll just have to "Stay tuned"...

This man needs to stay in the game.

Possibly take the Bobby Jindal route to power.

As far as I know, he's running a successful campaign for a congressional seat this year.

He said we need to "elect George W. Bush and get the Republican in the Senate seat and that is Mr. Isakson."

Honestly, this is the first thing I have ever heard him say that I disagree with. Not the Bush part of course, but the Isakson part. I don't know what I will do on Nov 2, but marking the bubble beside Johhny Isakson will be very hard to do.

If the libertarian candidate supports the war in Iraq I will probably vote for him.

or embassador to the UN or to the Democratic anti-American nation. He would beat them both into submission or drive them to suicide.

You wouldn't want to showcase a guy whose party rejected him. It says: Look what a bright star we have, and we STILL didn't want to nominate him. Blame the RINOs who run the party.

Here's something for you to ping to all of the Cain Crusaders out there.

Mr. Cain *will* be back.

Well, I hope Herman Cain and his people are happy. They prevented a very good man like Congressman Mac Collins from going to the Senate. They have placed a moderate in there like Johnny Isakson. Collins had the experience and the knowhow to get things done. Cain didn't...But that's politics. Collins didn't campaign hard enough. I hope Georgia hasn't seen the last of Mac Collins. He (Mac Collins) still has a lot to offer.

Then why did he do worse than Cain? You say he didn't campaign hard enough. Sorry if he is too lazy to campaign, then he doesn't deserve the Senate seat.

If Herman won the nomination, then YES and we all suggested that here weeks ago. BUT, since he lost, the Dems would take the spin and tell everyone the difference in the two parties...meaning they nominated Obama and "Southern White" Republicans rejected Cain. Showcasing Cain at the convention would backfire against us, sorry to say, in today's war of spin thru the 'liberal-friendly' media.

Where will you say them?

BTW, your logic that Herman cost Collins the nomination is flawed. If anything, it is the reverse, as clearly Collins never had a chance, came in 3rd behind a newcomer, and could have given Herman extra credibility and momentum if Collins endorsed Herman instead of fighting him.
