I wouldn't call this an actual endorsement yet, but I'm liking what I hear and see in Republican Candidate hopeful, Herman Cain.
In this economic state, we need a President who understands how to set a budget, and stick to it. We also need someone who knows how to organize successful programs.
Herman Cain has brought two companies from the brink of insolvency and made them profitable again. As an executive with Pillsbury, he brought the most unprofitable region of Burger King stores from the brink of insolvency to profitability. He did the same for Godfather's Pizza.
He has also been the Director of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. This experience has taught him, first hand, how our money system works, and how to make it work for the US economy.
He is a problem solver who doesn't sit around complaining about the problems he "inherited"... he actually works problems and turns huge deficits around. His whole adult life has been about successful solutions.
Like I said, I'm not going so far as to call this an endorsement, and it's too early for me to say who I'll be voting for. But this guy is very much worth consideration!

I have been watching Cain with interest. Maybe he would be able to bring the USA from the brink of insolvency to profitability.
I was really impressed when I read the following:
Cain has not only received five honorary doctorate degrees, but he has been recognized by the Horatio Alger Society, an organization in Pennsylvania that honors those who rise from rags to riches by hard work, honesty, and religious principles. Cain has received awards for his humanitarian efforts; businessman of the year awards; special recognition awards; and excellence in leadership awards.

I have made up my mind to support Herman Cain in the campaign. He's announcing soon. I like Ron Paul as well, but feel Cain has a better chance to win against Obama.
A great ticket would be Cain/West. But I don't think that would happen.

"I like Ron Paul as well, but feel Cain has a better chance to win against Obama."
You know, I see statements like that a lot and I have yet to understand it. Do you honestly think republicans are going to turn around and vote for Obama over Ron Paul if he winds up getting the Republican nomination instead of Cain?
I like both Cain And West, but I don't think I could vote for either of them. They are no where near libertarian oriented enough for me and though I greatly respect bot men and their accomplishments, I don't see them as my kind of presidential material.

I based my comment on the fact that many of the people I've talked to are not ready for the libertarian platform. At least here where I live. I like what I hear Ron Paul saying, I'm just not sure the country is ready to make the sacrifices he's suggesting. I've tried to be realistic. I'm still open minded, I may be wrong. Maybe the country is ready for Ron Paul. I'm not sure we should risk Obama winning to find out though.
And no, I don't think Republicans will vote for Obama, but STRANGER things have happened in the short time Obama's been in office. Heck, I've made the statement here on myLot that I fear we may not even make it to the 2012 elections before Obama finds a reason to declare himself ruler for life. 
Not that I was predicting it or anything, but in the last 3 1/2 years I've been shocked at the things being done.

Republicans will support who ever gets the nomination. Like I said, it is not likely they are going to vote for Obama simply because the republican nomination was someone like Ron Paul or Gary Johnson.
I will agree, anything can happen and we can't predict anything with 100% certainty, but I still think far too much hype is made over the "he can't win" mantra.

It's hard for me to say this, very difficult in fact since I have a great deal of respect for Cain and what he has accomplished and how he accomplished it....but I can't vote for him. Still too much in line with the typical republican/conservative schtick.
The guy is a business genius. He is very practical, methodical and level headed in the way he gets things done and could probably go a long way in getting our economy turned around and bring business back to our shores. I would love to see him get appointed as secretary of commerce or something to that effect though. Any candidate who wins the Republican nomination would do well to not forget about this man. He would be a great asset in any administration. I just can't see myself supporting someone as president who is that close in line with many of the mainline republican views though.

I too like and respect what Hermain Cain has accomplished. But there is no other candidate to vote for, for most progressives other tthan Obama.
Just a few short years ago Hermain Cain would not have not been allowed to have accomplished what he has. We are not so far away from those principles and days to forget.
Cain is dreaming of a world he wishes existed and it does not fully yet. However I look forward to the day when a Hermain Cain can contest against a Barack Obama and everyone does not believe the world is going to come to the end.

We can't expect the president to be everything to everyone. It's the issues and where he stands on them, his priorities and his character that matter. What Republican schtick? I need to see what you mean by that.

He is a good speaker and most points I agreed with which was a really good thing. I also think that as for the debate which I was watching on Fox over the internet that really it seemed like it was Ron Paul and Herman Cain against the other guys who where basically just repeating what the GOP has been doing over the last few months of regaining power and just general stuff where Herman Cain seemed to state how to look at the issue and find the solution. He has a good track record with the Businesses he runs and I think he could get the GOP nod as he does appeal to the Christian base a lot more than Ron Paul. Even though Ron Paul's message and Herman Cain's message is almost completely the same on Fiscal things and well the Social is the only things they don't seem to have the same ideas or points of view which is why really Ron Paul is a Libertarian and Herman Cain is a Republican but a real conservative where the others on that stage in that SC debate where more of RHINOs and some more than others.
Either one I would be happy to see as president of course I am going to endorse Ron Paul but thats because well I agree with his platform 100% and Herman Cain's at least 50% which is more than the other candidates
Ron Paul / Herman Cain ticket would be awesome!

There's a lot to like about Mr. Cain. He says what he means and means what he says. You can ask him a yes or no question and he'll answer yes or no! He doesn't beat around the bush and try to avoid issues. I've been following him for months and I would be very happy to vote for him. He has a lot of great ideas, sees our problems clearly and has some very logical solutions.
