For anyone who is not yet convinced that he will get the Conservative nomination:
Point 1 -
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=46473 <--- the poll referenced here was done BEFORE Cain's victory in Florida.
Point 2 -
http://www.gallup.com/poll/election.aspx <--- Herman Cain is the only candidate who has consistently held a high Positive Intensity score; in fact I don't think that anyone has beaten him yet since he announced. Also, he is still under 50% recognition and is already within 5 points of beating Obama; by far the only candidate with such an amazing ratio.
Point 3 - the other candidates are weak. Romney will never be president as he is too close to Bush; you can bet that the liberals are getting the astroturf ready to destroy him if he gets the nomination. Perry has some of the same problems; he could probably win, but people don't love him like they do Herman Cain. Paul is unelectable and not a conservative. Bachmann, well we already know. Huntsman, same as Paul, Santorum same as Bachmann, Gingrich is awesome but has too much history. Anyway, you get the picture; would love to hear what you guys think as well.
Bottom line, the man is incredibly intelligent, and has successfully turned around two major corporations. Best of all, at least for me, is that he has never been a politician. I know that this is a detractor to some people, and would love to address your specific concerns. The bottom line is that we already have too many politicians, and not enough people who can actually make hard decisions without worrying about reelection and stepping on the wrong toes.
Also, he is black. The only way that Obama can possibly win in 2012 (short of a miraculous economic recovery, which he seems to be doing everything to prevent, lol) is if he can capture the minority vote again. A Cain / Rubio ticket would absolutely blow this out of the water.
I have been following Herman for years and have been an avid listener of his radio program. If anyone has any questions about his positions, I should be able to answer them. If you want to debate liberal / conservative ideology, then I may or may not respond to you.
I will ask that you do not make dumb posts like "Cain sux b/c he duzznt sepport teh abortionz our teh homoshecks." You are right, and we like it that way. Actually, for these social issues, Cain defers to the States, and would never pass any Federal regulation that would interfere with this tenet of the Constitution.
Also,
http://www.facebook.com/groups/52944254947/ - here is a Facebook group dedicated to breaking news and discussions. We try to keep it clear of irrelevant stuff and garden-variety anti-Obama jokes, hate and the like, so that people have more room to talk; please feel free to join in.
