Herman Cain, the former U.S. senate candidate and the former CEO of Godfathers Pizza, has been diagnosed with colon cancer, a spokeswoman for Cain said this morning.
The guys a fighter and hes going to be fine, said Ericka Pertierra, his chief of staff. Hes trying to figure out how to do the radio show from the bed.
Cain, 60, learned of the diagnosis a couple weeks ago and is scheduled for surgery later this month at a hospital in Houston, she said.
Cain was one of three Republican candidates in the 2004 race for U.S. Senate. The Henry County resident came in second with 26 percent of the vote, behind U.S. Rep. Johnny Isakson but ahead of U.S. Rep. Mac Collins.

For all of you Medved fans familiar with Mr. Cain--a sad news ping. Mr. Cain ran in the primary for Senate (GA) in 2004. Michael Medved has had him on several times--usually speaking about the fair tax.
To: gondramB
Did you get the email from his office yet?
I posted the email....
He said it is in the early stages-- and HE IS A FIGHTER!!
HE is so AWESOME!

I wish him a speedy recovery especially because he's Ron Paul's running mate in my dream ticket for '08.

Wow! Gives me the shivers just thinking about it... Could you imagine?

He was on Bill Bennett's morning show a few weeks ago. Bennett had him on for a half hour.
Very entertaining. Very intelligent. Well spoken.
I hope he has a full recovery.

CEO of Godfathers Pizza, has been diagnosed with colon cancer, a spokeswoman for Cain said this morning. My prayers for a great American. Thankfully colon cancer is one of the more beatable ones.
