Council Bluffs Loves Herman Cain

Posted on | August 9, 2011 | 12 Comments

One of the phenomena I’ve struggled to explain to those who haven’t traveled with Herman Cain is how, wherever he goes, people want to shake his hand, talk to him, get their picture taken with him. Here’s a brief video clip from Council Bluffs, where Cain had just finished his speech and his campaign staff were trying to get him back on the bus, yet the crowd just followed him and kept getting autographs, pictures, etc.:

    Herman Cain is a very good man and when held up against the ‘old guard club members’ of either party he looks ‘real’ and good. We the People need ‘real’ badly. After 60+ years of BOTH parties experts, expertise, experience and wisdom…well here we are in a gigantic financial funk. I don’t think any of them have ever had a clue. jmho…I’d welcome Mr. Cain and the FairTax…Now that’s the kind of change I can get behind. Please learn as much as you can about both…
    We need the free-spirit leadership of Mr. Herman Cain
    respectfully…llc

    You should look into his escapades at Aquilla Energy before you sing his praises as a “problem solver”.  It’s fate for the employees of that company was just like Enron–they lost everything and yours truly was the ceo making the decisions.
