Herman Cain named Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) as potential running mates should he secure the Republican presidential nomination for the 2012 election.
Speaking Thursday on "The Steve Gill Show," Cain outlined the qualities he would like in a running mate, and then, unprovoked, offered specific names.
“There are some people in Congress that are very, very good, that I respect and admire and that I would love to have on my team,” Cain said. “Whether that would be in a V.P. slot or in a key Cabinet slot … I’ll give you a name — like Representative Paul Ryan. I’m not saying he would be the V.P. pick, he might be, but that’s the type of person I would want in my Cabinet. He’s the type of person. Sen.

Mittens?
Mittens will never generate the enthusiasm and create the momentum needed to beat Obama. He might make a decent president (or not) but he is too dull too draw the crowds of voters needed to win.
Mittens is warmed-over meatloaf that couldn't even beat McCain.
I think he would make a pretty good president, but he lost his audience and cannot get elected (that is, unless something miraculous happens).
I am not necessarily a Cainiac, but he does seem to be building the kind of excitement needed (his Values Voters speech was what turned the tide for me). Furthermore, I like Cain's straight talk (he's already called Obama a "liar"). That alone is devastating to a, well, congenital liar like Obama.
I sure hope he doesn't blow it...because Mitt just doesn't make folks want to march to the polls singing his praises.
Cain, please stop talking! Ever heard of Sun-Tzu? The key to winning is *surprise*.
It is way too early to start mouthing off about who he would pick.
Either one rocks the casbah. Love how he’s thinking.
Great choices!
I wanted Jim DeMint as our new POTUS, but at least Cain recognises his talent. Great choice if Jim would just DO it !
” I’d rather, should the time come, Cain choose DeMint. “
Amen, brother!
” Quite frankly, I don’t want anyone who has that kind of infectious disease. I want a businessman.
If we had principled people in DC for the last 60 years who believed in our Constitution, understood economics, accounting, finance, and business, we wouldn’t be in this mess. “
Go Cobra !
