I watched the whole thing on C-Span. From the beginning to the end of Hermans’ speech. I was excited. I was enthralled. I was in awe. I was captivated.

At one point, when the man started in on the entitlement mentality in this nation, my 15 y/o stepdaughter sitting at my side asked me, “Why are you crying?” I was not aware that I was crying.

The man simply showed everyone in attendance and everyone watching on TV what has happened...no; what we have ALLOWED to happen to our nation. I got misty over that and at the end, over REAL hope and REAL change, my God it was like watching Reagan with a dark tan, GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

Wow, great description. Thanks.

When he was saying “Free at last”, I actually applauded him IN MY OWN LIVING ROOM. Wouldn’t it be nice to throw off the shackles that government bureaucracy has burdened us with? To have a President that loves America?

Well, you just made me misty eyed. I am bummed that I missed his speech live.

I watched Herman Cain give a speech several years ago in Iowa, and man oh man, he is the real deal. Such a great speaker, a ton of charisma, had really great things to say. I met him after the speech, the man is just electrifying, and super nice. Not just some bland meet and greet type, a real human being.

As a side note, I met Newt Gingrich while I was there as well. He was kind of touchy feely creepy. ;)

Cain/Bachmann would be a dream, wouldn't it???!!!
