Cain’s recent surge just won’t be enough

Anyone surprised at Herman Cain’s recent surge in the Republican presidential primary contest, really shouldn’t be. I don't think he's going to be able to take it all the way however. But Cain's appeal comes from the fact that he represents every conservative’s fantasy – he’s able to speak what’s really on his mind, without fear of being labeled as a racist or politically incorrect individual. He's like that stern grandfather that you grew up with, that said whatever he felt like saying and had little tolerance for whatever he perceived to be foolishness.

Just take a look at what Cain says about the Occupy Wall Street movement if you don't believe me. 

Would his opponent Mit Romney take such daring and bold chances and make these same comments? I think not. 

But despite this “recent surge” of support, Cain just isn’t going to make it to the big dance. A lack of experience in political office, coupled with an upcoming strategy overhaul from Mit Romney, is going to keep Cain from grabbing the brass ring and securing the Republican nomination.

Yes, Cain, who use to be CEO of God Father’s Pizza and a radio host at WSB 750 AM in Atlanta, is coming with common sense principles that appeal to staunch conservatives. And yes, he’s probably going to dominate in the markets where conservative talk show Neal Boortz broadcasts in (Cain use to sub in for good ole "Uncle Neal” as he called him.).

But sadly for Cain, that isn’t going to be enough. My ultimate prediction is that Cain dominates the south, but quickly loses steam afterwards.
