Atlanta talk-show host and businessman Herman Cain stole the show in the GOP debate in Greenville, S.C., Thursday, and may have vaulted himself into the front tier of Republican candidates according to several pundits and observers.

“If you want the real headline today it would say, ‘A star is born,’” Matt Towery, the conservative syndicated columnist and CEO of the nonpartisan InsiderAdvantage polling firm, told Newsmax Friday.

I like Herman Cain better than Ron Paul...Paul’s followers are a little crazy over him.

Cain was Deputy Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and was in office from 1992–1994. That rules him OUT as far as I’m concerned.

Herman is such a breath of fresh air. He says what he means and means what he says. Attention GOP: We are TIRED of your hand-picked, professional, career politicians!!! We won’t get “McCained” again!

Was disppointed about that also. He stated he sees no reason to audit the fed by an outside auditer.

"Cain was Deputy Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and was in office from 1992–1994. That rules him OUT as far as I’m concerned."

Can you give the specific reasons why you feel this way? Was there something he did wrong or acted badly?

That was the first time for me hearing Cain speak. He reminded me a lot of Fred Thompson, even in his delivery.

Spending a couple of years in the snake pit of the Federal Reserve is better than spending years in the belly of the beast that is DC.

Cain being a conservative may be why he only spent two years there. I would be interested to hear his take on monetary/economic policy though. If he’s another Greenspan/Bernanke type, he can rot in hell.

Another unqualified affirmitive action black who speaks well. But hey it worked out so well with Obama why not try again with another black guy.

Let me be clear. I like Herman Cain and what he has to say, but that does not qualify him to be President.

Herman Cain/Allen West = business combined with military.

To see him to be impressed. He and Palin are by far the best stump speakers, and Herman is running. Mark Levin has a point. He hasd to gt away from the repetition. But, man, he is one smart dude. Like Jesse Jackson, he is a black man who can fill a room with his presence. Unlike Jesse, he has principles and a real resume as a do-er. And unlike Obama he is a man with roots in the American South.
