It was hard to keep track of how many times Herman Cain brought the crowd at the Values Voters Summit to their feet during his speech Friday afternoon. You really have to watch Cain’s speech to appreciate his success. With a good sense of humor, the cadence and inspirational tone of a preacher, and a rich and booming baritone voice, Cain’s charisma is what truly separates him from the rest of the Republican field.
Of course, it’s Cain’s charisma combined with rock-ribbed conservatism that appeals to these Republican voters. He told the values voters there’s some “garbage” spread about him that he wanted to clear up. “I believe in life from conception, period. No exceptions,” said Cain, as the crowd rose to their feet. “I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman.”
