Cain: Black community "brain-washed" into voting for Dems. - Video
Dennis Henninger sees Cain as impressive:
The GOP nominee is running against the incumbent president. Unlike the incumbent, Herman Cain has at least twice identified the causes of a large failing enterprise, designed goals, achieved them, and by all accounts inspired the people he was supposed to lead. Not least, Mr. Cain's life experience suggests that, unlike the incumbent, he will adjust his ideas to reality.
Herman Cain is a credible candidate. Whether he deserves to be president is something voters will decide. But he deserves a serious look. (Read all of Henninger's analysis)
Wintery Knight has assembled a penetrating look at Herman Caine. WK links to a biography of Herman Caine. Most of us are probably familiar with Caine's extensive and successful business experience, but we may not be aware of his computational excellence as well.
Cain was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on December 13, 1945, the son of Lenora (née Davis) and Luther Cain, Jr.His mother was a cleaner and his father was a chauffeur.He was raised in Georgia. He graduated from Morehouse College in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics and received a Master of Science degree in computer science from Purdue University in 1971,while he was also working full-time in ballistics for the U.S. Department of the Navy. Cain has authored four books: Leadership is Common Sense (1997), Speak as a Leader (1999), CEO of SELF (October 2001), and They Think You’re Stupid (May 2005). He also authored an article titled “The Intangibles of Implementation” in the technical journal Interfaces (Vol. 9, No. 5, 1979, pp. 144-147), published by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS).
The man is obviously underrated, but Cain is steadily converting people to his cause. He thinks he can gain one-third of the Black vote if nominated. Why not? I would hope it would be more. I'll be keeping my eye on Herman Caine. I also like Rick Santorum. I hope Michele Bachmann can mount a comeback as well.
Update: For a negative view on Herman Caine's economics from a fellow conservative, see Kevin D. Williamson's perspective.
