Herman Cain when he announced his candidacy for U.S. President defied the odds his entire life - image Fox News
There is a reason Herman Cain is surging in the polls, he’s an individual who deflects criticism that is baseless, and is not afraid to say what the thinks (which is rare in the Political Class, but then again, Herman Cain is not from the Political Class).
Gallup Polling over the weekend shows Herman Cain neck and neck with Mitt Romney, followed by Rick Perry (all three with double digits), Romney has the highest “score” at 20%. That said, 20% are undecided, a few more debates will see that number tighten up, now that the field is complete.
Meanwhile, Cain is out there being – Herman Cain. If one has the opportunity to read his book (suggested), one can get some insight into Herman Cain, his youth and influences, and his penchant for setting personal goals – a novel idea lost on those U.S. citizens born after 1980.
Cain has some “harsh” words for the “Occupy” protestors (See LA Times Herman Cain Steps up Attacks on Occupy Wall Street Protestors), words that basically tell them to go out and get a job. Of course this is met with horror by the professional left, who wholly supports President’s Obama’s “jobs” bill that is going up to vote today – the bill extends, yet again, 99 weeks of unemployment and monies to teachers, and other government employees in order to avoid layoffs in the only sector that does not create a job! It is not as if there are a great deal of highly paid positions available, or even service positions in some parts of the nation, however, when one is able to extend unemployment for four or five years, one has little incentive to take a lower paying job, or two lower paying jobs, rather than let go of the government handout. Herman Cain understands that hard word, even taking a step backwards, (or four or five) if one sets goals, can lead one upwards. A novel concept, especially to those who expect everything should be handed to them on the proverbial silver platter.
Cain also, apparently is not “black enough” for the likes of Harry Bellefonte, and the Academics, (especially the MSNBC crew who, for the most part, are slightly paler than Casper) who feel is his danger – (see video below) – Cain’s response (Paraphrase) “I came off the Democrat Plantation a long time ago. Here’s the difference, I’ve been working in the real world, and the Professor has spent his life in academia”.
The debate tonight, one in a series between now and the primaries in January, will allow Herman Cain to take the stage, with Romney and Perry as perceived political class frontrunners, and “raise some Cain” – should he continue to be himself (and there is no reason why he should not) in a debate that is focused on the economy, one can anticipate that some of those undecided’s (referring to Gallup polling) and able to watch this debate on Bloomberg TV (check upper tier channels) and/or view on the Washington Post website, may change to a Cain fan after this debate. Time and polling will tell. However, at this present time, Cain appears more than able to take the mantel and run with it.
