Herman Cain?

A Republican FB friend posted: "Herman Cain? Stomped Perry and everybody else in the Florida straw vote! Whoa buddy!"

Brian Leekley I just looked at the Wikipedia articles about Cain. I disagree nearly 100% with his positions and in some cases, like tax rates, advocate the opposite of what he does (not that I'm an expert but just going by common sense), but I can see right off that he's smart, competent, and has leadership qualities. He'd be a formidable opponent of President Obama in 2012. My first impression is that Cain is very conservation economically, politically, and socially but is relatively less of a looney crackpot than some of the other contenders to be the 2012 Republican candidate for President, so he might get moderate Republican votes that Obama is probably also seeking.
