Herman Cain: The Single Most Important Candidate for the Republican Party

CFN - November 2011
by CFN Staff

...continued from Home/Politics

Cain injects poison into the Democratic Party because he poses a profound question in the minds of millions of African American, Hispanic and Asian voters. Many of which voted for President Barack Obama just because his skin is Black.

Cain represents a unique crossbreed in republican politics that has never existed before. The conditions for a Cain campaign to remain a top the republican list of candidates is by no accident at all. Everyone knows who’s best to challenge the first Brother to win the White House. That person is another Brother.

There is no better time for a Black Republican Presidential candidate to seek the White House than now. Cain represents that part of the Republican vote that can present a well-balanced and formidable counter to President Barack Obama.

The situation is unique. Just as it was when Obama swept America off of its feet during his 2008 Presidential election campaign, which promoted change while giving very few details of what his change meant. The same strategy will work for Cain.

Americans are on a collision path to having an Ultimate Showdown for the White House. One Brother against another for the White House of the United States of America. The first ever in our lifetime.

Black Americans have already imagined Cain as their Presidential candidate for the 2012 Presidential election. Maybe he will receive the same favor as Obama by gathering Black votes just as Obama.

What Republican strategists must now work to perform is called a miracle. Needing to convince the American public that they too, again, see themselves as the party to lead America out from under a myriad of Great Depression memories and through the storm of uncertainty relating to its current financial crisis.

While multiple bailouts have taken place for the benefiting of Wall Street, Americans are primed to send a firm message come election time while American citizens are still scrambling to keep their homes and up with daily expenses.

Having proven that it can elect a Black President, America now finds itself comparing their perceived differences in Obama vs Cain.

Will the Black and White electorate consider Cain as an alternative to Barack Obama? Apparently, Republicans think so. Herman Cain is a powerful choice for President for the Republican Party because he too represents our image of the Black vote in America just as Obama did during his campaign.

While running on a message of change that was never really detailed, for Cain himself can only hope that the American public will give him the same degree of unfocused rhetoric as Obama did during his Presidential campaign bid.

As Herman Cain's message and popularity continues to grow, the Democrats will have an increasing problem that can only be rectified by positive changes in the overall economy. Democrats can stay far ahead of the Republicans if they continue to gather good intel, and timely responses to major Republican issues designed to dismiss Democratic gains.

However, one surefire way to nullify any gains made by Cain could come with the choosing of the wrong candidate to run as his Vice President should he receive the nomination to run as the Republican Presidential candidate.

America, the fireworks have begun!
