Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain accused the media and political establishment of being afraid of giving him enough attention to procure the GOP nomination.
“They do not want Barack Obama to go toe-to-toe with me as the Republican presidential nominee,” Cain said to a group of Tea Partiers on Wednesday in South Florida.
Cain argued the political and media establishment is “afraid” of potential Republican candidates Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R).
“They are doubly scared that a real black man might run against Barack Obama,” Cain added.
Cain, the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO, is one of the few GOP presidential hopefuls to get to the exploratory committee phase of their candidacy. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer have also announced plans to form an exploratory committee.

"Cain argued the political and media establishment is “afraid” of potential Republican candidates Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R)."
Too funny. Surely Cain realizes that it's Republicans who will decide who gets to run against Obama. And if he can't get enough attention from his fellow Republicans to be credible in the GOP primaries, that's likely because his own shortcomings far more than because of any other factors.
James; I read a article in LA Times this morning, Hillary 2012. It may be the first of may if Barry keeps up his living the life style of the rich and famous instead of being President. That would make it interesting and I may support her all the way they pick the wrong one from the right.
I missed that, and couldn't find it in a quick search just now, but I'd have a tough time believing she'd do it. The Clintons saw what Teddy Kennedy's campaign against Carter did to the party, and especially after Bill tried to destroy Dems with his Monica issues, I just can't see it happening.
It is interesting that she's looking more liberal than Obama, though. He has decided Bush was right about yet another stupid idea, the one involving Guantanamo.
Found it. It's more an opinion on why she should run:

Thanks. I see he also wrote one titled, "For Republicans in 2012, it's Sarah Palin or another big fat L." I think I'll stick with my previous assessment.
This broad is just as crooked and un-american as obuuuma. We sure do not need this yoyo running for any office in 2012 – she has made a helluva big mess while supposedly doing her job as SECSTATE. Just get rid of all the crooks and unloyal Americans who are in office to screw up everything they touch and kill our America.
He's got my vote should he win the nomination BUT he's too big a man to even bring up the "black man" garbage. Just run and leave the race crap to the dems.
I wonder what makes him so real, color!? Herman Cain failed to understand that this is not about color, it's about leaders that care for the people and the economy! Herman Cain isn't any better than the rest of the Republicans who thinks that Medicare and Social Security are ponzi schemes. And will end these programs just like his others Republicans buddies. The people must not forget the same Tea-party who thinks these programs are government ponzi schemes are the same Tea-party that strongly support Herman Cain.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK A QUESTION…THEY ARE ALL SO SURE THAT HERMAN CAIN IS GUILTY OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT. TO ANSWER THAT ACCUSATION HE SAID HE WOULD BE WILLING TO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST. HOW ABOUT HIS ACCUSERS??? I THINK BEFORE ANY MORE ACCUSATIONS ARE ALLOWED TO BE PUT FORTH, ALL OF HIS ACCUSERS SHOULD BE MADE TO ALSO TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST. WHY IS THAT NOT ADDRESSED? THIS WOULD PUT THE WHOLE MATTER TO REST ONCE AND FOR ALL.
AMEN Ginny!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well Ginny, how do you propose to shut the media up? If it wasn't for gossip the so called media would be out of business because the certaintly don't report the news based on facts. They listen to the facts and then say what the want you to hear. Which in most cases is just a fairy tale. One question. Why want the so called media report on ocommie's homo sex and crack smoking?
If Mr. Cain were to win the GOP presidential fight, obama would probably go put his white/black head in the sand. He would get his butt whupped handlily because Mr. Cain is not an imposter, muslim, theif, crook, liar. Mr. Cain is an American who lov es this coun try where obuuma hates it and so does his worthless wife, and they are doing everything they can to destroy our great America. Someone in DC is going to have to go to the meat locker, find some guts and go after obuuuum's dumb ass and fire/impeach/disqualify this traitor and then all his garbage he and reid, pelosi, shumer, durbin, conspired to bring about – this would all become NULL and VOID. But first, our gutless leaders need to stand up and be counted. In the senate, reid needs to realize that it's the American people that pay this little punk and he sure the hell hasn't worked for them. Throw all the bums and liars to the street IMMEDIATELY.
You are SO RIGHT! I am sick-and-tired of certain Hollywood types saying that the only reason consevatives want Obama out of the White House is because he's black. If by some chance Mr. Cain is the nominee, I, as a "white conservative" will gladly be the FIRST-IN-LINE at the polls next November to cast my vote for him. And like you pointed out, Obama is a half-breed, and is NOT a "real" black man. Just an illegitimate impostor.
I know it is not that unusual for a half black homosexual to be voted in as president. Well yea I guess it is. But the worst thing is that a secrete jihadest socialist treasonous athiest was with he help of acorn and hollywood stupidos get to be the world leader. (Forgive the spelling) His supposedly wife by her own words admits to hating the USA until just three years ago.
