Run, Herman, Run!
American Spectator ^ | December 27, 2010 | Robert Stacy McCain

Posted on 12/27/2010 8:21:50 AM PST by justsaynomore

Herman Cain laughs at being described as "Steve Forbes with charisma," but finds the comparison flattering. "That's quite a compliment.… I have the greatest amount of respect for him."

The former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and Atlanta talk-radio host notes that he supported Forbes during the publishing executive's unsuccessful 2000 Republican presidential primary campaign, and Forbes endorsed Cain's 2004 Senate bid in the Georgia GOP primary.

Now, Cain is on the verge of embarking on his own presidential campaign, hiring staffing and preparing to form an exploratory committee. The combination of Forbes-like economic savvy and his own charismatic personality has triggered a remarkable level of excitement around Cain's candidacy... More at link...

My favorite part:

Cain would be the first non-politician to win a major party's presidential nomination since the GOP chose Dwight Eisenhower as its candidate in 1952. The formidable odds against him, however, do not discourage Cain who, in 2006, was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer that had spread from his colon to his liver. He survived that and now, cancer-free for more than four years, finds inspiration in his survival.

"I happen to believe God said, 'Not yet.'…That inspired me to run for president, because I believe that I've got to try to make as big a difference on this planet as I can."

Now this is someone to get excited about. No RINO (Guiliani), no wolf in sheep’s clothing (Huckabee), no Ivory Tower dreamer who would compromise the U. S. into socialism (Gingrich) and he is no validater of Obamacare (Mitt Romneycare).

Run, Herman, run!!

p.s. I, too, supported Forbes in 2000.

At last! Someone who can suck up everyone who supported Romney because of business ability. I LIKE this guy! Must find out more.

I didn’t know who he was until I heard hin on FNC the other day making complete & total sense on the economy.

And I think a non politician outsider will be very much welcomed after 2 more years of BHO.

Thus far, I’m impressed. Wonder if he’ll be at CPAC?

Herman Cain gave a great speech at CPAC last year. Google it.

I like this guy. I supported him with donations when he ran for an office (I believe in North Carolina?) years ago. Then I lost track of him, but I’m glad he’s back on the radar screen.

Me too!

It was a senate seat in Georgia that he ran for - not N.C. (my bad). If you read up on him, you’ll be impressed. I promise.

I wish we had Cain as our GA Senator instead of RINOs Isakson or Chambliss. If he would run against Chambliss when Saxby’s term expires, I think the “Hermanator” could win.

My favorite part: "The political class doesn't take Cain seriously."

To which my response is: I don't take the political class seriously.

Hi!

I’d like to be on your ping list, too please. I’ve been telling my family about Mr. Cain & last week sent a detailed email to all my conservative coworkers

President Pence or President Palin should appoint him to a major cabinet post. From there, he can run for anything.
