Herman Cain says he might run for president again
Source: Washington Post
NEW ORLEANS -- Herman Cain, who ended his 2012 presidential campaign amid allegations of multiple affairs, said Saturday that he might run for president again in 2016.
Cain, in a speech at the Republican Leadership Conference here, brought up the prospect of another run toward the end of his speech. He then suggested he would do it if he were called by God.
I do not know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future," the Georgia businessman said. "And I trust in God. Cain, 68, was a brief front-runner for the GOP nomination in 2011 but dropped out, before any actual votes were cast, in early December of that year.
Cain got a rise out of the crowd when he taunted the media and liberals whom he blamed for his ouster. "The liberals thought that they had shut me up," Cain said as the crowd rose to its feet. "I'm back!"

If he does decide to run again, Cain would likely face fresh scrutiny over multiple allegations of sexual harassment at the National Restaurant Association, not to mention his infamous "9-9-9" plan that one study found would have raised taxes on 84 percent of Americans.

Isn't it strange that God only speaks to republicans and t-pers? Dubya, DeLay, Cain, Huckleberry. PayMe. I DO believe $carah has heard from God, since many times she speaks in tongues. Or at least in a language only she can understand.

(15,801 posts)He also sprinkled some of his specialness on our congressional race this week. We have four GOPers in the upcoming primary, all going for the seat vacated by Cory Gardner when he decided he'd rather run against Mark Udall for that senate seat. In the primary race are a failed senate hopeful, a guy who thinks he's a cross between Leviticus and Lincoln Rockwell, a woman who believes in one-party rule, and a guy who doesn't even live in the district. Cain gives his enthusiastic endorsement to the last one. Some days we don't know whether to giggle or puke.

(396 posts)I happen to know god, she's a guy in the Bronx, anywho god doesn't talk to Cain, god firmly believes that any black man who's also a Republican is a schmuck. Imagine what god thinks of a black man running for the presidency as a Republican!
Maybe Cain's doing this to attract women? Certainly, only in those small dark places aka The Minds of TeaBaggers is Cain potus material. But then neither was Reagan, Bush, Bush, or Cheney & that's just the most recent of the lot. . .
Remember, everyone on the stage who believes in evolution, raise your hand.
