I really wish Herman had not said that, even though I do understand the context. However, a lot of "headline readers" across the country are going to see a black man, saying "I have a dream", and remember what a nightmare the last dream has turned into.

I think little gaffs like that, refusing to sign the anti-abortion pledge, and wanting to turn the 2nd amendment over to the states will hurt him in the long run.

Even though color is where the simlarity stops between Cain and obama, a lot of voters have been snake-bit by their last choice for President, and the recent memory of obama's performance - or pitiful lack thereof - may steer them away from Cain.

Time will tell...

I have a dream too and it’s Herman Cain being on the ticket in 2012~

Could you please provide a link for him not signing some pro-life pledge?

He’s on the record as being completely pro-life.

[Politicalmom]

I found it.

I don’t care that Cain didn’t sign a pledge to “adhere to what the group sees as a strict interpretation of the Constitution.”

Maybe he doesn’t agree with their “strict interpretation”.

Cain has clearly and repeatedly stated he’s completely pro-life.

When his rationale for not signing the prolife pledge is because he believes that lawmaking ought to be the purview of congress, then I think we have a winner.
