After all, he is 100% African American.

Shouldn't you like his policies?

Thank you, thank you, thank you for pointing out the bleeding obvious. African Americans don't vote for candidates based upon their skin color, but rather on the policies they promote. In short Herman Cain has as much chance as garnering a significant number of votes from African Americans as Larry Brewer... and he's dead.

95% of African Americans voted for obama, and probably will again even though his policies have been an abstract failure in the black communities.

Please explain?

I think it has to do along the lines of political ideology.

In my opinion he will not be a best fit for a candidate running for presidency. He really does not have any political experience. He only ran a seemly medium size business compared to other fast food restaurants. I personally never heard of the god father pizza brand until I came to Atlanta.

Government is a complicated entity in society. In order to pass legislation you have to talk the talk as well as walk the walk. That means you have to have political connects to pass legislatgation. One problem of Obama. He was new to politics. He couldn't get the networks and the pacts as say Ted Kennedy. You have to have public office experience something that Hermain Cain doesnt have. Unlike popular belief, the government is not a business. It more than that.

I personally think he would be overwhelmed if he ever got elected. Knowing that it is far from running Godfather Pizza.

But anybody has the choice to vote for who they want

The Tea Party is called racist every day by the left because we disagree with obama's policies.

Herman Cain is more black than obama.

Why won't you support him?

While I like Cain, he wont make it past the primaries so therefore it will still be Obama against a white guy.

You do realize that Cain has done far more with his life then run Godfathers Pizza?
