I love the Hermanator but he is a longshot to get the GOP nomination. Besides being a former Pillsbury executive, CEO of Godfather's Pizza, and a popular talk radio show host in Georgia, Cain is also the former Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve. In a nutshell, he is far, far more qualified than our current president was when he ran in 2008. Best of all, he is not a socialist and his sympathies in the Middle East are with the right side.

I have been listening to Cain sporadically for many years because he is the favorite guest host for my favorite talk radio host, libertarian Neal Boortz. Cain communicates with plain talk and will not try to dazzle you by pronouncing words like Pockistahn as you might here it pronounced on the streets of Lahore. But if you listen to him for awhile, you will realize that Herman Cain is very bright and he is an effective communicator.

I would love to have somebody as president who has worked very successfully in the private sector and did not come away believing that the experience was "working behind enemy lines."

I have been on the "Friends of Herman Cain" mailing list for the past several months. If Cain begins to look like a viable candidate, I plan to send him a check. I think that he will do very well among conservatives in the primaries.
