He's replacing Neal Boortz on conservative talk radio at the end of the year.

It's a good thing, since he would have been swift-boated again by Karl Rove and racist conservatives who want to keep blacks on the plantation.

Why else do you think Mia Love and Allen West lost their respective races? Conservatives simply stayed home, or refused to vote for the black candidate.

I like your new screen name, enemy country.

Right, conservatives refused to vote for a black candidate -- which clearly explains how they earned their respective nominations (and in one case had already been elected to Congress) in the first place. Mia Love was so "swiftboated" that she was given a prominent speaking position at the Republican National Convention.

You're an analytical genius. And I'm so sure you're genuinely concerned about the political fortunes of black conservatives like Love, West, and Cain.

I sort of enjoyed Cain's buffonery. From his incessant 9-9-9 chant to his Palin like response to the Libya question to quoting pokeman during campaign speeches. Cain was a traveling comedy show.

If he ran, things like this would happen:

Herman Cain: Karl Rove Attacks Are 'A Deliberate Attempt To Damage Me'

And this:

Republicans trying to keep Allen West from winning his district » The Right Scoop -

This is how the GOP treats it's blacks. Not surprising, really, since the GOP is the party of "The Southern Strategy."

Oh, I hope so! There is already a thread here on C-D claiming that Santorum is planning to run again in 2016. This GOP field is shaping up great once again--for Democrats.

Still is. In retrospect I think that Cain has a lot in common with Palin. The office of the Presidency wasn't the real goal.

Do I smell Cain 2016.
I smell another book tour.

Who does he think he is? That moron didn't even see the economy collapsing two weeks before it did. He's the fraud. He's the one who should be exposed for knowing little to nothing about the economy.

His own column on 9/1/2008
While the Democrats had their week of unchallenged propaganda about their party – how perfect it is and how terrible the Republicans are – the latest good news about the economy and the average adjusted gross income went unnoticed.

Once again, when Democrats don’t like the facts, they just ignore them with the help of the mainstream media.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taken over by the U.S. government, the Fed bailed out AIG, Merrill Lynch was sold to Bank of America, Washington Mutual was sold to JP MorganChase, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt.
