So what's up with Herman Cain?

[GSLevel9]

He sings the neo-con chorus... Does he have a chance?

1. Repubs are looking for someone to take black votes from Obama..

Anyone. They are searching.

2. Well

I think a repug vote for Cain means "we're not racist, we just don't like YOUR black guy".

I don't think he stands a chance but I also think he's going to be in the mix til the end.

3. It reminds me of a scene from the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou"

The governor Pappy O'Daniel is in the middle of a rough relection campaign, where his challenger, Homer Stokes, has been going around to various towns at fancily staged campaign events which include a campaign spokesperson who is a dwarf.

Governor O'Daniel is discussing campaign strategy with his advisors about ways to ressurect his flailing campaign.

Junior O'Daniel: We could hire our own midget, even shorter than his.
Pappy O'Daniel: Wouldn't we look like a bunch of Johnny-come-latelies, bragging on our own midget, doesn't matter how stumpy!
