Who is Herman Cain? Another nobody from nowhere?
I’m voting for Sarah.
WTH is Herman Cain?
Critical poll to Freep,
For the Ping list.
Herman Cain 50% 552
Sarah Palin 50% 542

They’d make a great ticket.
Herman is a black conservative radio host. Search YouTube for his speeches at Tea Party events. He is also the founder of God Fathers Pizza (I think it’s God Fathers).
Herman Cain?
FReeped for Sarah, still 50-50.

He’s a strong conservative, but I find it utterly bizzare and hypocritical that the people who blast Sarah for resigning would choose to nominate someone who has never held a political office.
Palin got my vote.

He defended the TEA Party when the NAACP was falsely accusing us of racism.
If Sarah wins the primaries, I'll vote for her. 2012 is no time to split the Republicans.
I hope Nader runs, it'll be nice to split the Dems up.
It’s pretty obvious to me that the only people voting in this poll are political junkies like us. In a real primary, Herman Cain would barely register. He simply doesn’t have the sort of name recognition required to win at the national level.
FWIW, I won’t give my solitary vote for president to anyone who doesn’t have real experience in governing. Legislators and big thinkers can serve the public well in many ways, but acting as president in their very first executive role isn’t one of them.
Perfectly said.
We have a couple of perfect candidates, maybe more, but we have to run the perfect campaign to put them over the top in a general election where the independents will make the call.
Good point.
Even though I agree with almost everything I've ever heard Cain say, we know that Sarah can do the job.

i agree with you = but he has experience as an executive - a successful one.
i’d like to see him be appointed to cabinet of next admin
Interesting... Herman Cain is a solid conservative. He successfully ran a couple of businesses. Herman has a conservative talk radio show. His credentials as conservative are good.
That’s fine and voting for Sarah is fine; however Herman Cain is not a nobody. He is a great conservative who lifted himself up literally by his bootstraps.
