I’d be pretty elated if Cain became Newt’s VP. I doubt it would happen, but it would be great. Cain could also help us out with the black vote as well. Back in the good old days before Cain got lynched, I had all my black friends in favor of 999 and supporting him. They had all voted for Obama in the previous election because he was black. (They told me so.)
A big secret is that they are actually far more conservative than most people realize. In fact, they don’t even realize it. They believe in all the hogwash about Republicans being racist, fat cats and other things. But if you actually discuss specific policies, they’re actually right on our same page. I had my best friend sitting there basically condemning every part of Obama’s policies, though she didn’t even know it. When you mention that, they have a problem accepting it. The propaganda is quite strong. But with Herman Cain, we have a powerful weapon, and a powerful good man, that defeats the core of the class-war/racist propaganda the left and popular culture peddles.
Amen, brother!
That is one of the big reasons I was a Cain supporter back in 2004, during his Senate race, and was a Cain supporter again in 2011. In fact, I managed to point out my 2004 Cain pin (I still had it) to Mr. Cain last year with the observation that “Not all of us are Johnny-come-lately Herman Cain supporters.”
The other big reason was he was very much a fiscal conservative Washington outsider.
