DREAM TEAM 2012 - CAIN/BACHMANN

My “DREAM TEAM” for the upcoming election would be Herman Cain for President and Michele Bachmann as his running mate.

My pick for President (and why) is highlighted in my blog titled - “Cain – the 1 “UNTAINTED” candidate” -. Please read the blog and you will see why I think Herman Cain can do more in the office of President than any other candidate.

Let me state here that I believe Michele Bachmann would be as good a President as Herman Cain. But my “DREAM TEAM”– is not about who’s best for the positions – it is about which team has the best chance of GETTING INTO OFFICE – This is not about who makes for the best Pres./Vice-Pres. tandem – it is about who makes for the best nominee tandem - Therefore –

I believe that Herman Cain has a FAR BETTER chance of defeating Obama than Michele Bachmann.

1. Obama facing off against a Black nominee completely removes any “White Guilt” that has been bandied about since the last election.
2. Obama (in facing another Black candidate) will certainly have some portion (the # is arguable) of his Black voting bloc diminished because of the match-up. Many will now have to actually make a decision between two candidates and not just “vote for the black guy”.
3. There is a portion of the black community (the # is arguable) that is EMBARASSED that the 1^ST BLACK PRESIDENT is so completely incompetent. A chance to correct that could loom large for them.
4. Herman Cain is EVERY BIT AS INSPIRATIONAL A SPEAKER as Obama. (Perhaps even more so). Selling a conservative viewpoint (of jobs, personal responsibility, free choice, LESS GOVERNMENT, etc) to an Obama mesmerized audience can only be accomplished by a black candidate that has achieved success by using his own doctrines. There is absolutely NO WAY that Bachmann, Pawlenty, Romney, Gingrich, et al, can speak to the Black and Hispanic community and say “…I will reduce the size of government and your life will be better for it”. They won’t believe them. Herman Cain can deliver that message and they might believe him.
5. While there has never been a woman President – there has also NEVER BEEN A FEMALE VICE-PRESIDENT. If the Cain/Bachmann ticket can win, Michele still breaks new ground and becomes the first woman to ever hold that office.
6. With 8 years of Herman Cain in office (I am supremely optimistic) Michele Bachmann would be perfectly placed as the “heir apparent” to the Presidency. Her term as a Vice-President could ensure 16 years of conservative Executive Branch dominance for the Republican Party.
7. Michele Bachmann is soooo optimistic, soooooo upbeat, soooooo effervescent that I have a hard time believing a sizeable enough majority would take her seriously for President. She is extremely sharp and articulate – BUT – she will have that same problem that ALL WOMEN have when playing with the Big Boys. If she smiles too much and looks to happy and upbeat – she is vacuous, dimwitted, and shallow. If she shows any measure of pugnacity or comes on forcefully she is disrespectful, can’t handle the stress and a B****. The (left cajoling) media would do her far more damage than what they could foist upon Herman Cain.
8. Michele Bachmann is also young enough that as a Vice-President, the years in office would give her the national recognition and acceptance that she needs to aspire to be the 1^ST WOMAN PRESIDENT. Without the kind of scrutiny she will have to face and overcome now.
9. We have already elected a 1^st Black President. Having a chance to elevate a woman to the highest office ever held by a woman would be a “feel good” moment for all of us as well.
10. One final issue - PAY ATTENTION TO THE ONE PERSON THE ADMINISTRATION TALKS ABOUT THE LEAST. That will be who they fear most.!!! Right now that seems to be Herman Cain. It is my belief that the Obama administration is “SCARED TO DEATH” of Herman Cain. My guess is they don’t want to do anything that would give Herman Cain a chance at increased exposure or notice. No matter what he says – They won’t respond. No matter what he proposes. They won’t respond. They will respond to something said by Romney, or Gingrich, or Paul, or Pawlenty, etc. They don’t believe any of those candidates have a ghost of a chance of rallying enough independent votes to hurt them. But Herman Cain – Oh, he doesn’t even exist. Obama would ‘shake in his boots’ if he ever had to debate Herman Cain without a nearby teleprompter. Oh – I would pay to see that !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My "DREAM TEAM" has not been compiled with the idea of who would be best in either office (Pres.or Vice-Pres.) it is simply compiled considering the demographics of the voting public and:
WHICH TEAM HAS THE GREATEST CHANCE TO WIN!!
