Republican Herman Cain announced Wednesday that he’s setting up an exploratory committee to raise cash for a potential bid for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.
Wait, Herman who?
A former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and executive at Pillsbury, Cain is a conservative radio host in Atlanta who has been a popular figure on the GOP speaking circuit over the last year. Cain, who is black, is perhaps best known nationally for speaking out last year against charges made by the NAACP that the tea party is made up of “racist elements.”
The 2012 election is obviously a long off, but it will certainly be interesting to see what the rest of the Republican presidential field will look like.
