Atlanta businessman Herman Cain has become the flavor of the month on a menu of Republican presidential candidates leaving partisans hungering for something different.
He’s tied for second place with Sarah Palin in a Iowa poll released Wednesday. In a Georgia poll out Friday, he beat former Speaker of the U.S. House Newt Gingrich two to one. In a straw poll at the Maryland Young Republicans convention Saturday, Cain tied for first place with former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty.
And Friday night, he got a hootin’ and hollerin’ reception at the Howard County Lincoln Day Dinner organized and attended by a number of local Tea Party activists who have latched onto Cain’s candidacy.
“The difference with this flavor of the month is that it’s gonna last,” Cain told MarylandReporter.com in an exclusive video interview. That’s because of “the enthusiasm of the voters and regular folks.”
“The mainstream media attempts to ordain the candidate” based on name identification, lots of money and having held public office, Cain said.
