GOP: Herman Cain

After a recent conversation with a friend, I decided to take a closer look at Herman Cain. I really didn’t look at him in my eyes as a possible likely winner for the GOP candidacy. I even took a look at some polls, according to CNN/ORC International Polls 34% of Republicans and Independents say that Cain is the most likeable candidate in the race. Also 33% say Cain is most likely to get the economy moving, especially since the reveal of his 9-9-9 Tax Reform Plan. Note: this is just for how likeable a candidate is, not actually a reflection of how likely he is in topping the GOP candidates.

Cain was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a degree in Mathematics and a Masters in Computer Science, which I find pretty impressive. He worked for the Navy developing fire control systems for ships and fighter planes. He later continued his career in the business realm moving from companies such as Coca Cola to Pillsbury Company gaining experience. While with Pillsbury he became Vice President for the Burger King Division. He later became the President and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza. His success got him the title of President of the National Restaurant Association where his political advocacy begun. He has even played substantial roles with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

The only political race Cain has run was for 2004 to take the Senate seat of Senator Zell Miller. Although he lost he took 26% of the vote. Everyone seems to have a curiosity about Cain and the fact he isn’t a known “politician” is probably one of the reasons he has become one of the top tier candidate in the race for GOP candidates.
