Mickalino Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2011/01/12/pizza-magnate-herman-cain-explores-2012-presidential-run/ Wall Street Journal : Pizza Magnate Herman Cain Explores 2012 Presidential Run By Danny Yadron Herman Cain, a tea party star, talk radio host and former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, announced Wednesday he’s forming an exploratory committee for a run at the White House. It’s a bit of a long-shot. Though Mr. Cain is revered in conservative-activist circles, he is little known elsewhere. He’s never held office and lost a 2004 primary challenge to Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson. Still, he’s managed to spark a “draft Cain” movement and this weekend will travel to Iowa, his seventh visit there since July 4, 2009. “The American Dream is under attack,” Mr. Cain said in a statement on his website. “While our country faces grave and complex problems, America is not lost forever. The glory of the American Dream can still be found in the hearts of those who love Her and the promise of freedom She guarantees.” He goes on, “America is the greatest idea any man has ever imagined.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 If he was to win, how many toppings would that guarantee us on Monday? Pizza is not socialist. Every pizza will be personal pan by law. No sharing of slices. In fact, if you are caught having cheese that drips onto another slice expect jailtime or a hefty fine... and don't even think about picking up any fallen toppings and redistributing them.

Hubbs Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Does this mean that if he doesn't deliver on his promises within thirty minutes of his inauguration, we get his entire administration for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Is Mr Cain related to this guy? RkWQ4uolB8Q Just what is it about these two fellows that sets them apart, makes them deserving of extra face time at every Tea Party event? I can't imagine.

Mickalino Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 racist! Speaking of racists, imagine if he won the nomination, and we had 2 black men running against each other for president, all of the racists and white supremacists would have heart attacks.

Mickalino Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 I can see the Democratic strategy. They'll associate Cain with McCain, who is associated with George W Their slogan "We don't want another Cain, cuz any Cain is a close relative of W, and we don't want 4 more years !"

That would be a spectacular sight. Sadly, I also think that a presidential election cycle of two black men (or two women, or two whatever non-white males) is probably the only way we'd have an election where people actually vetted the candidates fairly.

Why not just two white males? Just curious? Because white males who are associated with the Republican party or Tea Party, are typically seen as racist, while Democrats are supposed to the most indiscriminate, lovey, get-along with every racey, so the White Male Republican would be at a clear, unfair disadvantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I disagree. Afterall, almost everyone can name the first black baseball player. How many can name the fourth? Once the barrier has been broken the attention and disparity in treatment seems to diminish. Look at basketball... does anyone make any fuss about a black player making an NBA team anymore? Thankfully, there's almost no buzz whatsoever anymore about black qbs either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you ask, I think I would like to believe that if 2012 were white guy A vs white guy B that they would both be vetted, but something in me just thinks a lot of people would vote R or D. I hope I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
