Herman Cain, the former U.S. senate candidate and the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, has been diagnosed with colon cancer, a spokeswoman for Cain said this morning.
“The guy’s a fighter and he’s going to be fine,” said Ericka Pertierra, his chief of staff. “He’s 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.

This is very unfortunate. Not just sad for him and his family but unfortunate timing politically

Man, that's terrible. I was just thinking this morning that I wish he'd run again.

According to the article he's having surgery in a couple of weeks so maybe they caught it early and there's hope of recovery. My only experience of knowing someone with colon cancer they didn't find out until it was way too late.
On my computer I have pictures of Cain with my wife, my mom and my oldest son. In addition to being a great political thinker, he's a wonderful, warm person and each time I met him was a thrill.
I wish him a speedy recovery especially because he's Ron Paul's running mate in my dream ticket for '08.

Good luck Mr. Cain!
I sure hope he's OK. I don't agree with him on every issue, but he's an inspiring man who I really hoped would have a future in politics. I hope he still does.

My best friend had colon cancer, and she is fine now. So is Tony Snow :)..

After he beats this, he can run for governor. Too bad the state party doesn't support him.
