Raisin' Caine

From out of nowhere he came, he was on the bottom of the contenter list, a true dark horse in the race (no racial pun intended) for President to only come up to third place right behind Romney and Perry and soon to surpass Perry is Herman Caine.

Herman Caine is a former businessman and mathamatician. He's worked for such companies as Coca Cola, Burger King (where he manged 400 stores in Pennsylvania), Pillsbury and CEO of Godfather Pizza all of which he accomplished on his own without any handouts unlike the current occupant of the whitehouse whose only previous experience was community organizer and a short lived senate stay where he only voted "present." When he was asked by a reporter recently about his lack of political experience Caine's reply was, "Look what you've got in there now." :D

Caine is a big supporter of the private sector unlike Obama who wants to destroy it. He opposes class warfare unlike Obama who uses it to divide the country and set up his big government social agenda. He is in favor of smaller government and touts his famous 9-9-9 plan (a nine percent tax on sales, a nine percent income tax and a nine percent corporate tax) to help the fledgling economy.

Herman was born in Tennesee and later moved to Geogia where he grew up. He has been married to Gloria Caine for 43 years and they have two children and threee grandchildren. He has been an associate minister at the Antioch Baptist Church which he joined at age 10. He is a sometimes gospel vocalist and has performed on albums.

In 2006 Caine was diagnosed with stage4 liver and colon cancer and underwent chemo therapy for both and is now cancer free. Although he grew up in the segregated South and has described experiences from there such as sitting behind the white/black demarcation on buses and talks about the experience of taking turns with his brother, standing watch as each took a drink from the "white" side of a segregated water fountain in a department store and discovering the water was just the same, he doesn't dwell on his past.

If a person votes for Herman Caine, it's not because he's a black guy (like they did for Obama without knowing anything about him) or because he's a white guy. They will vote for him because he'a an all American guy.
