Will Herman Cain's candidacy change black America?

I don't know if it will change anything for black america, but it will cause us to discuss our issues more thoroughly without emotions. Herman Cain if he wants to last, needs to raise some money and began to have some substance with his style. His background at Morehouse College may help him to get in the door with some black people, but he will have to have more to offer in order to stay in the room.

Herman Cain will probably not be the next president of the United States. Notice that I carefully used the words "probably not," instead of the words "definitely not." Many of us made the same mistake when another black man, Barack Obama, took his shot at the throne just a few years ago.

The truth is that Cain has a serious chance to win the Republican nomination. If you win the nomination, then you've got a chance to win the election. President Obama is certainly flying high with approval ratings through the roof after killing both Osama bin Laden and what was left of Donald Trump's reputation, all in the same week, but a great deal can change between now and 2012.

One of Cain's great dangers is that everyone seems to like him. A recent Gallup Poll rated Cain to be the most likable of all Republican candidates. While he lacks the name recognition of his opponents, all of that can be easily fixed by any millionaire willing to spend money on campaign ads. The Tea Partiers also love Cain, voting him their leading candidate in a straw poll at The American Policy Summit, a Tea Party gathering spot. Yes, they are controversial, but the Tea Partiers have shown that they can change the face of American politics.
