The Herman-ator Gains Steam

To know Herman Cain is to love Herman Cain.

His “positive intensity” score — in other words, the people who like him — is nearly twice as high as the average for the rest of his likely rivals.

To know Herman Cain is to love Herman Cain.

The point of the entire article. Among people that know who Herman Cain is, his support is off the charts.

His problem is getting his name out. Once done, the rest will take care of itself.

I am incredibly enthusiastic about Cain. He’s a middle-grounder as far as name recognition, but he’s a Conservative and a perfect fit for the Presidency, IMO.

Problem is the name recognition, but I think that’ll start to go away as the field flattens out in the next 9 - 12 months.

So far he’s my preferred candidate.

I can remember a time when no one had ever heard of BO too and not look at him. GO HERMAN! GO!

1. I'm going to take a guess at their real line of thinking
He thinks like we do and he's black so regular people will vote for him. Because that is why they truly believe people voted for Obama, because he's black.

3. They loved Foghorn Fred Thompson, too.
And still think Palin is a viable candidate.

They think Rick Santorum has a good chance.



They are all either truly politically naive, or are heavily invested in magical thinking.

They are clueless as to what will be allowed by the billionaires that run their party.

It will be Mittens, and there isn't one thing they can do to stop it.

15. Well I did see that Palin was at 14%, only one point behind front runner Romney for the nomination.
It's a start.

6. Herman Cain the Birther
Edited on Wed May-25-11 09:17 PM by Adenoid_Hynkel
yeah, that shit's gonna make the GOP seem great in the general
http://thinkprogress.org/2011/03/31/herman-cain-birther/

the guy's just another of their fringe lunatics. the only difference between Cain and Alan Keyes is that Cain comes with pepperoni.
the GOP establishment is sweating bullets right now, hoping that the wingunts don't nominate Cain, Bachmann or one of the other folks from the clown car.

2012 could very well end up being a disaster on par with 1964 for conservatives if the party elite can't get their teabagging Frankenstein's monster under control soon.

8. As a Repub. who called in to C-Span said about him, "He's a Black Republican and that's what we
need to beat Obama." I've seen posts like that in Freeperville, too.

11. Here's a gem!
The fact is Herman Cain may have the highest IQ of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last 100 years (if not the highest, he’s right up there at the top).

The “dumb conservative” smear won’t work with Cain

12. Only because he's black
They go completely crazy over any black person who is conservative, because they think it makes them equal with Democrats in terms of diversity.
