TAMPA, Fla.Herman Cain is thinking about running for president, even though its likely youve never heard of him.
And thats OK at least right now for the black Republican who has become a sought after speaker on the Tea Party circuit. The former CEO of Godfathers Pizza says hes going to build a grassroots coalition of supporters from the bottom up, if he decides to run, and if the Tea Party movement in 2010 is any indication, Republicans wont be looking to nominate a household name for president in 2012.
Theyre ready for a non-establishment candidate, Cain, casually dressed in a blue shirt and slacks, said here in Florida during an interview Thursday after addressing an enthusiastic crowd at a Spending Revolt rally. I will run proudly as a non-establishment candidate. I think the public has an appetite for a non-establishment candidate.
Though he may not be well-known on the national stage, the stage 4 cancer survivor and chairman of the Hermanator PAC is a star among the conservative grassroots. Activists who showed up to the Americans for Prosperitys Spending Revolt bus tour this week didnt hide their admiration.
Hes a beautiful package, said Bob Prescott, a Jacksonville man selling campaign buttons, while Cain addressed an audience in Tampa. Prescott said hes heard the Tea Party star speak multiple times and would support a Cain bid in 2012.
