"Well, then there is Herman Cain."Aside from the fact that he's unknown for the most part, he would just be branded "an Uncle Tom" by those same folks mentioned above.
Those who STILL believe it's "government money" vote Democrat; they don't see it as un-fair or over-reaching as long as the handouts keep comin'. Hell, you don't even have to be an American Citizen to get handouts anymore.......
Aside from the fact that he's unknown for the most part, he would just be branded "an Uncle Tom" by those same folks mentioned above.That's a tad better than what the left has called Palin, don't cha think?
I don't think how a credible candidate will be branded should stop them from running. The fact is that no matter who runs, they can be assured of being vilified immediately & often.
I agree that Cain is a relative unknown, but so was Obama.

We can't make our decision for our candidate based on what we think the left will call him/her. Does the left worry about what the right will call their candidate? The left: "Oh, the right will call him a Marxist/Socialist, etc, so we had better not vote for him in our primaries!"
No, we must select our candidate based on a determination of who can best articulate the principles and values of constitutional conservatism (with a pointed emphasis on fiscal conservatism), and one who we believe will govern as a conservative (in both word and deed) if elected.
Sure, there are other "political" calculations (he can carry these larger states and their electoral votes, etc), but perhaps the last thing on our list of reasons to support one over the other would be a fear of what the opposition will call him/her.
