CPAC Video interview.
BTW, I have never posted a video clip before, so cut me some slack if it doesn't come out right.
Jack Kemp made a pilgrimage to Omaha to meet the man who called himself The Hermanatora name he has now trademarkedand bring him into the Republican Party. "Here's a black guy," Kemp told reporter Ceci Connolly after he was nominated for vice president in 1996, "who stands up with the voice of Othello, the looks of a football player, the English of Oxfordian quality and the courage of a lion."
Not that I have a great deal of admiration for what I considered Kemp's somewhat watered down version of conservatism, but at least he recognized that Cain possesses the kind of fiscal responsibility, managerial skills, high moral character, and common sense that he would bring to the Oval Office. An office which IMHO hasn't seen a great deal of those qualities since Reagan left it over 2 decades ago.
