"Will I be the flavor of the week?" Cain said Wednesday in New Hampshire. "Well, the answer is an emphatic, 'No,' because Haagen-Dazs black walnut tastes good all the time."

Herman Cain's chances are looking better and better.

Palin, Trump, Bachmann and Perry have all been where Herman is right now. On the very pedestal onto which the crazies in their own party have lifted him - only to turn around and kick him down. Won't be long. And if not. Great. Have him run for President. We'll all have fun with him and accept his concession on 6 November 2012.

He could be our first Black President.

For all those unhappy with Cain, I really don't see a better candidate at this point do you?

That's the issue the GOP has. What you see is what you'll have to pick from. Given that, Mitt is all but inevitable and probably the GOP's best shot of taking the White House next year. Like it or not, Cain will never be President.

Such discrimination against Computer Science majors.

Cain's bio is actually quite impressive - WAY more impressive than the other candidates.

Herman Cain was born in Memphis, Tennessee, to Luther Cain, Jr., who was raised on a farm and worked as a chauffeur, barber and janitor and Lenora Caine (née Davis), a cleaning woman. Cain has said that as he was growing up that his family was "poor" but "happy". Cain related that his mother taught him about her belief that "success was not a function of what you start out with materially, but what you start out with spiritually". His father worked three jobs to own his own home - something he achieved during Cain's childhood - and to see his two sons graduate.[9][10][4]

He grew up in Georgia[11] and graduated from Morehouse College in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics. Cain married Gloria Etchison, of Atlanta, soon after her graduation from Morris Brown College in 1968.[12]

Cain, accepted for graduate studies at Purdue, received a Masters in computer science there in 1971,[13] while he also worked full-time in ballistics for the U.S. Department of the Navy.[14]

After completing his master's degree from Purdue, Cain left the Department of the Navy and began working for The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta as a computer systems analyst. In 1977, he moved to Minneapolis to join Pillsbury,[15] soon becoming director of business analysis[16] in its restaurant and foods group in 1978.[citation needed]

At age 36, Cain was assigned in the 1980s first to analyze and ultimately to take the reins of Burger King where he managed 400 stores in the Philadelphia area. At the time, Burger King was a Pillsbury subsidiary. Under Cain's leadership, his region went in three years from the least profitable for Burger King to the most profitable. According to a 1987 account in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Pillsbury's then-president Win Wallin said: "He was an excellent bet. Herman always seemed to have his act together."[17] At Burger King, Cain “established the BEAMER program, which taught our employees, mostly teenagers, how to make our patrons smile” by smiling themselves. It was a success: “Within three months of the program’s initiation, the sales trend was moving steadily higher.”[18]

His successes at Burger King prompted Pillsbury to appoint him President and CEO of another subsidiary, Godfather's Pizza. Cain arrived on April 1, 1986, and told employees that, "I'm Herman Cain and this ain't no April Fool's joke. We are not dead. Our objective is to prove to Pillsbury and everyone else that we will survive."[19] Aiming to cut costs, Cain, over a 14-month period, reduced the company from 911 stores to 420. As a result of his efforts, Godfather's Pizza became profitable[citation needed]. In a leveraged buyout in 1988, Cain, Executive Vice-President and COO Ronald B. Gartlan and a group of investors, bought Godfather's from Pillsbury. Cain continued as CEO until 1996, when he resigned.[citation needed]

Later in 1996 he became CEO of the National Restaurant Association, a trade group and lobby organization for the restaurant industry, where he had previously been chairman concurrently with his role at Godfather's Pizza.[20].

Cain became a member of the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in 1992 and served as its chairman from January 1995 to August 1996, when he resigned to become active in national politics.[21]

Cain was on the board of directors of Aquila, Inc. from 1992 to 2008, and also served as a board member for Nabisco, Whirlpool, Reader's Digest, and AGCO, Inc.[22][23][24]

Yeah, his resume is very impressive. No question about that.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

It's quite telling that he chose Haagen-Daz Black Walnut over Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream. One company has been a model of social responsibility and the other tried to snuff out the competition through bullying.
