The First Herman Cain Video
It's tough to find a Herman Cain headline these days that doesn't reference his 9-9-9 tax reform plan, but what attracted me to Herman Cain in this presidential race were the points that he hits upon in the video below, which was released back in May.
Herman Cain's story is fascinating. I loved his story back when he ran for the U.S. Senate in Georgia. I love that his story doesn't begin with being born into a life of riches and entitlement, that it doesn't involve him taking on Ronald Reagan back in the 1980s, that it isn't built on the backs of Internet crazies, and that it shows so much resolve that you believe that he would sacrifice whatever it took for the country to succeed.
That's a breath of fresh air, even for this conservative to admit.
