A Tale Of A Mormon, Cain, 2012...and Pizza

Postby 8bitagent » Sat May 21, 2011 7:28 pm

With shades of the rag tag motley crew that was the California 2003 Governor race, the GOP is tying to solidify their contenders. With Newt and Huckabee gone(who combined with Romney, all have the personality of a bag of bolts), the staged joke of Trump gone...and the Alex Jones Ron Paul train serving the same function it did in 2008...who is left? Well speaking of Romney, he seems to be the only one
the conservatives seem to be rallying around, even though the Mormon candidate is just as unexciting and uncharasmatic as the rest of them.

And then there is this man, Cain. Or Herman Cain. For those who know about Mormon's belief about black people and Cain, it's all the more synchronistic.

Former pizza chain CEO enters 2012 GOP presidential race
'I'm running for president of the United States and I'm not running for second'

Herman Cain has run a pizza chain, hosted a talk radio show and sparred with Bill Clinton over health care. He's never held elected office.

Now the tea party favorite wants to be president.

"In case you accidentally listen to a skeptic or doubting Thomas out there, just be to clear ... I'm running for president of the United States and I'm not running for second," he told a crowd at Centennial Olympic Park on Saturday. Chants of "Herman" erupted.

The announcement by the businessman, author and talk radio show host that he was joining the expanding Republican field came after months of traveling around the country to introduce himself to voters.

Now the 65-year-old will see if he can use that grass-roots enthusiasm to turn a long-shot campaign into a credible bid.

Cain's platform
Cain supports a strong national defense, opposes abortion,
backs replacing the federal income tax with a national sales tax and favors a return to the gold standard.


lovely.

So are we pretty much witnessing what Bob Dole/Mccain character the GOP will put up so the PTB can continue on with their man?

The Washington Post wrote:His bid is a long shot. The latest Gallup poll shows only 29 percent of Republicans know who he is, and he has never held elective office. His only previous experience as a candidate was losing a GOP primary for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia seven years ago.

But Cain is a compelling speaker who has built an enthusiastic following in some conservative circles, including among members of the tea party movement.

After the first GOP candidate debate this month — which most of the leading contenders skipped — Cain was declared the winner by a focus group that pollster Frank Luntz conducted for the debate’s sponsor, Fox News Channel.
