At this point in the campaign, I see parallels for Herman Cain to Huckabee in 2008 - a below 5%er suddenly thrust into the top three. But Herman has earned his place and Huck was put there by the MSM who wanted him to take votes from Fred.

While Huck was a phony nonconservative televangelist, Herman Cain is the real deal. I think he can build on his newfound attention and truly contend. Of those in the race currently, he is my current favorite. I've liked him from the beginning but did not think he had a chance. He does now.

You’ve basically repeated out loud my exact thoughts. I always knew he is authentic. Glad it’s beginning to catch steam now.

Right, Herman Cain is the real deal and not some establishment Republican or worse a RINO liberal Republican. I want to see him in a debate with Obama

For a while I thought that Bachmann was the better choice, but Cain has stayed on message and did not panic and come off as an attack dog.

I didn't vote for Mike Huckabee, but he wasn't a televangelist or a phony.

Gov. Huckabee filled the pulpit in my church several times There was no doubt that he was preaching the Word.

Fred took votes away from Fred all on his own. Huckabee was in long before Fred finally decided to jump in the race.

“Of those in the race currently, he is my current favorite. I’ve liked him from the beginning but did not think he had a chance. He does now.”

He’s been my favorite from the beginning. I just worry about the extreme power of the MSM as far as most people even knowing who he is. I mean, we around here are political wonks, but we’re in the minority. Even tea partiers are in the minority compared to the public at large. All the millions who don’t watch Fox News but instead watch MSNBC, CNN or network news probably aren’t hearing about Herman, at least nothing positive.

I hope I’m wrong, but the evil MSM still has a tremendous amount of control over what the average person sees and hears.

People just need to be exposed to Herman, he’s so impressive. It may need to be by word of mouth for awhile, but the more people see and hear him, the more they’ll be captivated and hopefully make those much needed campaign donations.
