Herman Cain brings bus tour, endorsement to Alabama
Friday, March 9, 2012
He was the front runner in the Republican race for the presidential nomination, but he pulled out of the campaign to be with his family. Now, Herman Cain uses his influence to campaign for others and that has brought him to Birmingham.
Cain says despite dropping out of the presidential race, he is on a mission and continues his Cain Revolution Plan. He says his mission is get good candidates down ticket and find solutions without campaign negativity. He still promotes his 9-9-9 tax plan and wants to close the enthusiasm gap in the Republican Party.
"It's very serious. With some numbers I have seen… One of the reasons is because of the negative campaigning. The person who gets the nomination is going to have to rebuild enthusiasm," said Cain when asked about the seriousness of the enthusiasm gap.
Cain says one of the best ways to close the gap is to focus on all parts of the ticket and not just the bigger races. For his Birmingham appearance, Cain puts this practice into action and has chosen Public Service Commission candidate Kathy Peterson to endorse.
As a Newt Gingrich supporter, Cain believes the candidate is not out of the race, despite Mitt Romney's Super Tuesday win and Rick Santorum's surge.
"Mitt still has to put it away and Santorum has to continue his surge. That is why Newt is making Mississippi and Alabama his Waterloo," said Cain on Gingrich's decision to campaign early in the Southeast.
On his dropping out of the race, Herman Cain had some insightful words on why it was such a tough decision.
"It's harder to drop out of the race than to get into the race," said Cain. "I still have people wish I hadn't gotten out. I think about the supporters and the people who contributed to the campaign… That's what made it even harder."
