Herman Cain, the new front-runner for the Republican nomination to become President of the United States, will be the first candidate to tour the state when he embarks on a bus tour next weekend. (Other candidates, such as Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman, have stopped in for fundraisers, but to my knowledge this is the first attempt at actual campaigning in the Volunteer State.)

Cain will start in West Tennessee in Bartlett on Friday, eventually making it into Middle Tennessee by the end of the day. Cain will then spend Saturday in Cookeville and Harriman before wrapping up the tour in Hawkins County at the Rogersville Heritage Days.
