The race for the 2012 Republican nomination has . . . urgh . . . begun:
Welcome to the new HermanCain.com, home to my presidential exploratory committee. Here, you will find all of the important information necessary to keep up-to-date with my decision-making process as I continue to determine how God wants me to best serve our great nation.
The American Dream is under attack. In fact, a recent survey found 67% of the American People believe America is headed in the wrong direction. Sadly, this comes as no surprise to those of us who have watched an out-of-control federal government that spends recklessly, taxes too much and oversteps its Constitutional limits far too often.
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.
America is an exceptional nation. America is the greatest idea any man has ever imagined. America is the noblest endeavor humanity has ever known. It is because of this that we have the obligation to preserve the American Dream for generations to come.
President Ronald Reagan once said: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.”
Fellow patriots, now more than ever, we must come together to take a stand for the future of America. I make this promise to you as I deliberate the ways in which I can do my part to restore and protect the American Dream: I would be the voice of the American People. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I ask you to do the same for me.
Who is Herman Cain? He’s a businessman and former head of Godfather’s Pizza, former chairman of the National Restaurant Association, unsuccessful candidate for Senate in Georgia in 2004, host of an Atlanta-based radio talk show, and regular columnist and talking head. Here’s a bit of him talking with Neil Cavuto:
I got to vote for Mr. Cain in a Republican senatorial primary in 2004 (the year Isakson ended up being elected for the first time...bad choice my old home state made there, and I still have very little use for Isakson)...thought the world of him then and still do, but I don't see him going anywhere in the race for the Republican nomination.
But, what the heck. With the field of candidates who seem bound and determined to run for the GOP nomination this time around, who knows, he might get some traction.
I like Herman Cain but he has the same weakness that Steve Forbes did. There is no way of knowing whether he has the skill set to actually run a competent general election campaign. Can he avoid the basic mistakes that will doom a campaign? For a Republican it is doubly important because the media will magnify any goofs he makes.
The nomination for President is too important for a party to give to someone who has never demonstrated the political skills needed to actually win an election (with an exception for Commanding Generals who have won a major war).
I also got to vote for Herman Cain in 2004. He came to talk to the CR's at UGA while I was there, and ever since then I've been a huge fan. I have my doubts about his ability to run, let alone win, a national campaign. But hey, we could do much worse ideologically.
Herman Cain is just the person America needs to lead our country in 2012. We dont need another career politician, but a successful business man who knows how to identify the problem, come up with a solution and know how to implement it. Herman will also help inspire people to believe in themselves and believe in the greatness of America. And finally Herman will bring honor and dignity back to the office of the Presidency.

I've noticed a strong grassroots following for Herman Cain. You can show your support for Cain with t-shirts, bumper stickers, and more from GOP Mall:
Where can I order my "Herman Cain - Allen West 2012" bumper sticker?
