The man has no name id, it is a very, very long shot that he will ever hit 20% in the polls.

Remember nobody ever heard of Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter at this point in the process. Cain's real uphill battle will be with the GOP/RINO establishment. I think conservatives will support him. The thing is if the leadership does a hatchet job on him conservatives might sit home and we'll get another 4 years of the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayres.

I think that’s a tad bit of an exageration. Both Carter and Clinton were governors so yes a whole bunch of people knew who they were.

It’s NOT an exageration to say reletively few people know who Herman Cain is.

I have nothing against him. In fact I agree with him the great majority of the time. That being said the presidential race IS as much about a popularity contest than it is about issues. He will get some recognition this time and maybe even a spot on a ticket or office. Then he may have a chance in the future.

Wrong, clintoon was governor of Arkansas, reelection bid and then won the next term, if you paid attention to politics at the time you knew who he was. Same with Herman, he has been on 750 am in Atlanta for sometime.

I missed Cain on Fox News Sunday, what exactly did he say that has Krauthammer in a tizzy? I know Krauthammer is a beltway guy but it is already being used against Cain by the RINOS. Thanks.

not many heard about 0'bama outside of Chicago. $$$ helped him get where he is.

No one heard about Sarah. In only 4 months people were voting for her (indirectly through Mc Cain)Her personality and wisdom have kept her alive in our lives. She's been active. She has not wasted her time licking her wounds.

No reason the same can't happen with Mr Cain. I don't know much about him and I'm not going to cut him off just because of something that could easily be corrected by him.

Maybe some of us are tired of professional politicians.

After 0'bama, anyone can run and win. (I hope this doesn't sound like an insult to Sarah and Herman) We place extremely high standards to the ones trying to run now yet we forget how low we have stooped with the latest.

If God Himself ran, He'd lose.
