Brain -> A G.O.P. Hopeful Gathers Momentum as More Voters Like What They Hear (6/5/2011 8:36:22 PM)
I guess anything is possible. We may get two black men running for president. My goodness, I wonder what the odds are of that happening? I'd like to think there is a Republican I could support and although that's unlikely this guy can't be any worse than what we have now. A G.O.P. Hopeful Gathers Momentum as More Voters Like What They Hear Yet here was another voter swooning for Herman Cain. “I watched you at the Republican debate, and I have to be honest, I’d never heard of you, but ever since that. ...” said Nathan Lyons, 29, his voice trailing off wistfully. “You say it like it is.” Those not frequenting Tea Party rallies or the living rooms and coffee shops of New Hampshire and Iowa might dismiss Mr. Cain, a talk radio host and former chief executive of Godfather’s Pizza, as a frivolous candidate — “the pizza guy” as some call him. But there are signs of what Mr. Cain, in his booming baritone, calls “Old Man Mo — Momentum!” A Gallup poll released last week showed Mr. Cain with the highest voter intensity score of any Republican presidential contender — far higher than Ms. Palin, a former governor of Alaska, or Mr. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts. While Mr. Cain’s name recognition was at 37 percent, it had risen 16 points since March. Many pundits and voters declared him the winner of the first Republican debate last month. And he won the straw polls at the Tea Party Patriots convention in February and the Conservative Values Conference in Iowa in March. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/05/us/politics/05cain.html?_r=1 Herman Cain during a recent radio interview while on one of his many visits to New Hampshire.

quote: Additional Reasons Why Mark Halperin's Omissions of Herman Cain at Time Are Inexcusable [image]http://newsbusters.org/sites/default/files/imagecache/thumb_100x72/thumbnail_photos/2011/June/hermancain_0.jpg[/image] Congrats to NB's Tim Graham for writing up a post ("Are Time and Mark Halperin Racist? Herman Cain Omitted Twice in GOP Oddsmaking") linked by Matt Drudge (headlined "Time Magazine Ignores Black Candidate in Race") pointing to an egregious and arguably deliberate omission of Herman Cain's name in Mark Halperin's coverage of the race for the GOP presidential nomination at Time Magazine. Tim noted that Halperin has handicapped the race twice (May 23 and June 6), but has left Cain out each time. Tim pointed out that Cain's omission is hard to forgive, given that Cain, whose background includes extensive business turnaround experience, a stint as Chairman of the Board of the Federal Reserve in Kansas City, and a number of years as President of the National Restaurant Association, as well as more current involvements with talk radio and Tea Party activism, "participated in the first presidential debate on May 5 to high praise and formally announced on May 21." There are two additional items which especially make Halperin's second exclusion of Cain appear virtually smoking-gun deliberate: Read more: http://www.newsbusters.org/#ixzz1OVnwzG7X

I was surprised to see an article in the STRIB (minnesota paper) that talked about valid runners in the republican party and there was no mention of Pawlenty...nah, come to think about it, I was not surprised.

He ran for Senate in Ga. got his tail beat in the primary pretty handily. but having met him once, he is a very likable man. He has a great rags to riches story, and he is committed to what he says. His tax proposal, sooner or later will get him, but the tea party people will love him! It will give the further right someone aside from the "publicity seeking missle" to support. I doubt he would be palatable for the main stream of the Rupublican party but, then again, I would have told you Hillary would have beaten Obama with ease.

He's one of those guys you'd love to have a few beers and play poker with, but not want as POTUS.

If the fundie-neo-con-radicals don`t like him,he might be a moderate with integrity. That would be the best barometer.
