Daily Caller - His tea party support is solid and growing. He won the Florida straw poll on September 24, receiving 37% of the vote, more than double that of runner-up Rick Perry. And the latest IBOPE Zogby poll revealed that “Rick Perry has tumbled by more than 20 percentage points over the past month among Republican presidential primary voters and is now second to Herman Cain, who leads the field with 28%.” Herman Cain possesses two ingredients that are resonating with voters quite powerfully: executive experience and no-nonsense candor. A resume that includes regional vice president of Pillsbury’s Burger King division, president and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and president of the National Restaurant Association attracts voters who are tired of politicians with zero business experience lecturing them about free-market economics. But it’s the latter trait — his candor — that I believe has caught voters’ attention more than anything.
I have had the honor of speaking with Herman Cain in person and interviewed him recently. I was impressed on both occasions by his refusal to tell me what he thought I wanted to hear, and to instead simply tell me what he thought. There is a refreshing honesty with which he delivers his message, one that is void of the arrogance and elitist condescension that characterize our current commander-in-chief. Cain is down-to-earth, approachable and in touch with the values that built this country. His love of the American dream comes from having fought so hard to attain it. His commitment to free-market principles comes from the practical knowledge that those principles are key to building a strong and prosperous business, economy and country. His disgust with D.C. politics has driven him to lead a solutions-based campaign. Read full column here:

Cain is an insider having been directly involved with the Fed and Cain is an appeaser, fawning over muslims. He is not who people think he is. This is why the Frmaers tried to keep the stupid people out of presidential elections. The people are too dumb to choose good presidents. Look at what we've had ever since the parties ruined the Constitutional system of choosing a president.
Cain fawning over Muslims? This is pure nonsense. Furthermore, if the framers designed the constitution to keep dumb people out of politics, their plan failed miserably. This president has to be one of the dumbest, if not completely tone deaf, in presidential history. The man is quoted as saying that he has campaigned in all 57 states. 57 states? Really? Last but not least, in a speech in which Obama was praising the efforts of a Navy Corpsman, he said "CORPSE MAN" THREE TIMES! Evidently the framers missed the mark in keeping this president out of politics. Harvard just isn't what it used to be, is it? At least Cain knows how many states there are. The voters will correct the mistake they made in 2008 in the 2012 presidential election.
Cain is a Christian. At this point, it's an easy decision between Cain's economic plan and values versus Obama's profound economic incompetence and utter failure of leadership.
I think Cain would prevail against Obama in the majority of our 57 states.
