Citizen Cain
There should be no confusion between Citizen Cain and Citizen Kane. One is a man born in low estate who fought his way to the top of his industry. He became enamored of himself and began to lust for recognition and power. He became arrogant and looked down on the class from which he came. His ambition was such that after rising to the top of his industry, he sought the larger platform of the media and finally reached for the brass ring of politics.
Yes, one was a man of humble beginnings who soared high enough to look down on others, a once humble man who became a megalomaniac. One is a man, the other a character in a movie.
Herman Cain does have a few things going for him--particularly in straw polls. First he is not Mitt Romney, whom true conservatives distrust at best and usually simply despise. Second, he does (fairly or unfairly) help inoculate them from the suspicion that they themselves may harbor, that there is a certain amount of racism in their anti-Obama obsession. (Just as some Democrats voted for Obama in order to feel good about themselves.) Third, he is entertaining and can speak his mind since he has little, if anything, to lose. He will not be the nominee either for president or vice president. Fourth, he is very entertaining and his passion, energy, humor and charisma come through. The lens likes him as much as it dislikes John Huntsman. Bob Dole complained to Bill Clinton that charisma is unfair. True. Finally, for those folks in Florida, particularly my people (old Jews) who mistakenly voted for Pat Buchanan in 2000, he has two names and both are plausibly Jewish: Herman and Cain. Let's hear it for the new Cainanites!
