Go Herman Go! Pray for Herman Cain!
Click Here for the Herman Cain for US Senate Web Site
This is so inside baseball for me (Ohio).
Who do we like? Cain?
Okay!
Go, Cain, Go!
Is he really conservative and on television sometimes?
Was he a Congressman?
I think I have seen him, then.
Go, Cain, Go!
I like your style!
Back when the clinton administration was pushing nationalized health care Herman Cain showed up at one of bill clintons townhall meetings and absolutely destroyed clinton in the ensuing debate. It was priceless. I wish I had a tape of it. Come to think about it they didn't have many more townhall meetings after that.
That was the last one if I recall correctly...and, it was priceless! The letter that Cain wrote to Clinton afterwards totally destroyed Clinton's "live" responses...
I remember at the end of the exchange clinton was reduced to trying to "shine on" Mr. Cain saying "hey I'd still buy your pizza if it cost $2 more a pizza. Mr.Cain didn't stop for a second, he kept hammering away.
If he did I missed it. I was working a real job at the time.
I assume Cain wouldn't do well in these rural down-state regions because of his race? Aren't the Dems going to nominate Majette, a black woman?
Herman Cain is a black Republican businessman from Atlanta who used to own Godfathers Pizza. He was also the president of... some other stuff which I forgot. He is now a motivational speaker.
He put Clinton in his place at a 1994 town hall meeting over nationalized healthcare and later in a letter published in the Wall Street Journal. In 1996 he was an advisor to Jack Kemp and Steve Forbes in 2000. He was one of the original proponents of the "Fair Tax Plan". (abolish income tax and replace with national sales tax)
Now he is running for the U.S. Senate in the Georgia Republican Primary.(July 20) He started with little name recognition, (his two republican opponents are congressmen) but has battled into second place, behind a moderate, coutry club republican.(Johnny Isakson) The moderate has more name recognition and more money (and is white) but Cain is more in line with the Georgia voter, has much more charisma, and is working his butt off. (2-4 speaking engagements per day since Febuary, will campaign in 52 counties in 8 days right before election).
And yes, he would be an instant media magnet in the Senate.
Sorry, I went a little long but Cain inspires hard work. I hope this helps.

Ooops, everyone beat me to the answer.
Yes, the Dums will nominate a black woman.
I don't know about Cain's chances in south GA. However, I don't think they are as bad as their stereotype. I know in middle GA Cain is very popular.
You are correct. He would also go a long way at dubunking the myth of the racist Republicans. (Black Republican elected from Georgia)
Herman Cain is extremely popular with WHITE voters in south Georgia. I don't think his race would enter into the race at all except for the Isakson crowd trying to imply that south Georgians are still racists. They are no more so than most people in most parts of the country.
I was recently in south Georgia attending a Church service where the congregation was pretty evenly divided between blacks and whites. Cain has an office in Valdosta and reports show more support than he is given credit for. You can't get much farther south in Georgia than Valdosta.
