Whose side are you on anyway?
I am very impressed with West too - but I am confused with your impression of Cain’s resume. Cain has spoken at over 50 tea party rallies - and that’s the basis of his support network across the country.
Cain is right.
Three weeks ago I agreed.
Now, I think he’s got a shot. Not a “sure thing” by any means, but his chances are probably better than say, Pawlenty, or Santorum.
To what end?
West isn't running. West has made it clear--in plain, blunt terms--that he is not running for president--period, finito, end-of-story, done, discussion-over.
I mean this as a serious question, and I think it deserves a serious answer.
What do you hope to accomplish by backing someone that isn't running?
Because I wanted people to read about about what he stands for. Whether he is the candidate or someone else, his policy is necessary.
i know that Allen West isn’t running. Cain has not annouced his bid . For the sake of argument which would be the better candidate IF they ran.
Palin is my first choice but she’s not announced anything.
I’m well aware that Cain has Tea Party support but he lacks the same experience that dear leader does in domestic and foreign and governmental experiences other than being a CEO of a pizza company.
I don’t believe Cain is a viable candidate & up to this point he’s been running a campaign on the basis of “what I would do if I were president” and “I’m not Barack Obama and I would not do the things he does”.
Anyone could be a popular candidate this way but its a losing strategy.

I respectfully submit that you are not at all aware of his complete resume, or you would not say that. I would also submit that no person on the planet has as little “domestic experience” as dear leader, who has NONE outside the faculty lounge and ACORN type groups.
So Cain trashes Trump when Trump has shown the guts to speak out about Obama and the mess this country is in, and Cain wants MY vote? Cain would be wise to chose a different approach, IMO. OBTW, I liked what Trump was saying and I liked the fact he was will to FIGHT, but my vote belongs to no one at this point. NO ONE has earned it yet.
WHOA WHOA WHOA? Where did THAT come from?
I simply said that Cain would be in a position to pick up some Trump voters due to the business background tie in, not that anyone was owed them. FTR, I didn’t really like Cain’s answer to that question myself and I don’t think he was thinking Trump when the interview started. I do know he liked the attacks on Obama by Trump and he should have said that.
Don’t take your Trump frustration out on others. It was Trumps decision not to run.
If you want to have a crush on Cain go right ahead. I’m not playing this game.
Cain losing points with this.
Leave the victim card at home.
What’s great about Herman Cain is he’s a real Republican. What a breath of fresh air this guy is. The establishment Republican insiders like Pawlenty, Romney, Daniels, Newt are all weak-kneed, limp-wristed, liberals.
So as far as that goes, Cain will get a lot more votes than the liberal RINOS and have a better chance of winning. Whereas, the RINO candidates, Pawlenty, Romney, Daniels, and Newt are automatic losers.
Geez a crush for merely stating fact? Support whomever you wish that’s what primaries are for. Just helps to get the info correct. I don’t think Cain will win but he is a more serious and qualified candidate than most of the junk we have running on our side.
People who are not hypocritical.
My original comment was posted to you because you posted the article.
Trump was saying what I want to be said. Who cares if he got his pocket lined and who cares if he had no intention of running. He was in Obama’s face. Meanwhile the other candidates are doing what? Next to NOTHING.
