Nine Reasons Why Republicans Ought to Nominate Herman Cain
By Aaron Goldstein on 10.4.11 @ 6:08AM
As a mathematician he would teach the incumbent a thing or two about "simple math."
Let us assume that the field bidding to be the Republican standard bearer in 2012 will not expand. Let us assume also that neither New Jersey Governor Chris Christie nor Sarah Palin will throw their hat into the ring. Let us further assume that neither Mike Huckabee nor Paul Ryan is having second thoughts. In which case, Mitt Romney is still the frontrunner. Yet conservatives appear no more prepared to embrace him now than they were in 2008. Rick Perry hasn't proved a viable alternative and Michele Bachmann's fifteen minutes is up. Over the past week or so, with straw poll triumphs in Florida and Illinois, Herman Cain has begun to strike the right chord with Republican voters and has seen his poll numbers rise. So here are nine reasons why Republicans should nominate Herman Cain for President.
1. He Has No Sense of Entitlement Cain wasn't born into a life of privilege. Yet he bore no resentment because of it. He believed in the American Dream yet understood he had to work hard for it. Cain set goals for himself and made sure he had the education necessary to attain them. He found opportunities and seized them. Cain grew up with the knowledge that the world doesn't owe one a living. He has earned his place in the world.

No trolling, relax. I am to the right of Cain & Perry on almost every issue.
Bill Clinton was the shlickmeister as Rush calls him. He survived even after impeachment by the house. He triangulated, obfuscated better than any politician in my lifetime. And I am not young! The only democrat I have respect for was JFK. JFK speech on tax cuts is a masterpiece, repeated several times by Rush & Levin on their radio shows. I have despised every democrat since, with the exception of LBJ, but I was just too young then to understand implications of guns and butter.
But yes, Billy Jeff was and still is a master politician.
Yeah, maybe, but you obviously missed the humor, or didn't understand the Superman Bizarro World analogy between Cain and Obama. It isn't funny if you don't get it, or have to explain it -

Ah, I see.
I missed the Superman Bizarro World daily. I’m sure it was funny.....in Bizarro World.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams were master politicians. Clinton’s just a great charlatan.
Politician = Charlatan, in my definition.
You are confusing statesman with politician.
Washington, Lincoln, Reagan are examples of statesman.
