Monday night, Herman Cain visited our home to address about a hundred local political activists. What a privilege and pleasure it was to meet and hear this classy man who is outstanding in every conceivable way. Hearing his view of our nation’s troubles and his proposed solutions certainly makes him the best candidate for president of the United States. And when elected, he will be a great president. Thank you Mr. Cain for stopping by. We know it is a long uphill battle for you. We wish you the very best on that long journey. America needs you.
He calls himself “the dark-horse candidate.” Of course it is an uphill battle for him. But it shouldn’t be too long before the public wakes up to Mr. Cain being heads and shoulders above all the rest in presidential qualifications. Born in Tennessee, but raised just down the road in urban Atlanta, Mr. Cain graduated from the elite MorehouseCollegewith a major in Mathematics and Purdue University with a major in Computer Science.
His early career included doing complex ballistics calculations for the US Navy.
He then joined food giant Pillsbury and went on to a successful career converting troubled subsidiaries to profitability through his huge intelligence and hard work. He eventually bought out one of those successes, the Godfather Pizza Company, and was its president for many years.
Mr. Cain was later appointed to the Board of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank and later it’s Chair. He is a husband, father, grandfather. He is an author of four books, radio host of his own national show, and frequent guest commentator on Fox News.
In other words, he is enormously intelligent, experienced, and successful: exactly the kind of person that should be president.
He is also good looking and blessed with a voice of gold and velvet and the speaking skills of a Baptist preacher which he also happens to be. He is by far the best public speaker of any of the candidates now in the race and perhaps the best speaker I have heard since meeting Martin Luther King in 1963 in the Greek Bowl at San Diego State. Contrary to the bumbling presentations from Teleprompters so characteristic of some, Mr. Cain can raise cain and move the hearts of his listeners simultaneously.
Mr. Cain believes in a sound business approach to government regulation and a “business-like” approach to evaluating government programs with an eye to eliminating those that overlap and are not working.

Yes Cain has a spot as Defense Secretary. Nothing less. Romney would do well to look at Cain in the general election. I have never seen a man like Romney get so much media abuse other than Roman Catholic Kennedy.
Declaring that it is Romney who needs to consider Cain once he reaches the general is a bit presumptive, and considering the shakeup that the race has recently experienced, a bit misinformed.
Brother Birch makes a valuable point in analogizing JFK 1960 and Romney 2008-2012 regarding their respective religious faiths.
I like Herman Cain more each time I see him in a debate or hear him talk. He is a straight-shooter and his answers make sense. It is too bad he doesn’t have a realistic chance at the nomination. We need more candidates like him.
D7 voter ! Good to hear from you. SD Rostra needs your Voice of Reason. Don’t be a stranger.
Herman Cain may effectively be writing his ticket to a Cabinet post in 2013, if he wants one. Who would do a better job as Secretary of Commerce? Nobody.
Jim, thanks….I’m around, just busy with some work projects so not able to post too much right now, but definitely checking in regularly on Rostra and following the discussions.
Cain as Secretary of Commerce would be the type of shot in the arm our country needs right now. An efficient government with people like him running the show is the best type of stimulus and confidence the government could provide…and it wouldn’t even cost $800 billion.
THAT is a brilliant observation. One smart man like
Herman Cain in the Cabinet could do far more than
$800 Billion worth of Good for this country.
Herman Cain knows America’s greatest assets are
the courage and intelligence of its people. They
don’t need central planning… they need a leader
who will Trust Them to get it right on their own.
Herman Cain would be a bad choice for Sec of Defense, and he’d probably be the first to say so. He would bring no expertise to that job. His strength is in fiscal issues, and in championing an anti-subsidy pro-business mentality to DC.
Sec of Commerce is a reasonable choice, but I like Vice President far better. Whoever wins the GOP nomination should think about making Cain their running mate. Obama and his race-relying cabal would be really pissed about that.
