Same here but my family and friends have voters remorse from supporting Obama. Some are college educated and were duped by the "hope and change" slogan, they really believed he would get our so called leaders to work together. But I have not once heard anyone stoop to racist name calling.

You guys have no idea how much trouble you would be in if you nominate Herman Cain. Just type in "Herman Cain Stormfront" on google and read what people are saying about him.

There is a sizable population who would normally vote straight ticket republican but would NEVER pull the trigger on Herman Cain under ANY circumstances.

Unless those posts are getting deleted by mods en masse, I haven't seen it. Care to post some examples?

Nobody knew who Obama was....And his cred was less than impressive! What Obama did have, was a liberal press, that was willing to not question his lack of experience.

Politics can turn on a dime! And it is waaay too early! Look at what happened to Newt! One interview and he's dead man walking. He's done!

Let's see what else Cain has up his sleeve.

If anybody thinks Cain has a remote shot at the publican nomination or a fraction of a percentage of beating Obama, you're smoking something serious.

"How can you trust someone who's worked for the Federal Reserve?" - Barney Frank

(Frank said that about Timothy Geithner, but it also applies to Cain.)

You continue to spout this crap, despite being proven wrong over and over. Why do you love to lie?

Tim Johnson and Allen West are the only two black republican congressman. Where do they hail from? SC and Florida. And not only is TJ from SC, he beat Strom Thurmonds son for the republican nominee. We also just elected a female Indian American governor, one of only two in the country, the other; republican Bobby Jindal from Louisiana. So the only two black conservatives in congress are from the south, as are the two Indian American governors. I can only deduce that you're lying for agenda purposes.

It's one thing for a candidate to announce he's running. It basically means he or she THINKS she has a snowballs chance in hell of winning.

But the next test is CAN THEY RAISE THE MONEY. The MONEY is the best indicator of if other people think a candidate can win and where the money comes from tell us who those peoples are.

If he can get the support AND the money then he's a serious player.

I still think he would have been better served running for Governor of Georgia. If he had won it would have given him political experience and the clout of being able to deliver an important state.

I agree, but I still like him a lot, despite his ties to the fed.
