The bidding war is on! Bachmann, Paul , Santorum vie for Cain’s affections

Although the coveted Herman Cain endorsement has gone to Newt Gingrich, that has not stopped other campaigns from going after his support. After hearing Cain wanted to be Secretary of Defense, two campaigns offered the former candidate spots in their cabinet. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann said Cain was on “her short list for Secretary of Defense.” Congressman Ron Paul offered the former pizza mogul the position of Secretary of State. Former Senator Rick Santorum said he planned to create a new cabinet position “Secretary of Really Important Stuff” for Cain.
“Herman Cain has a clear vision for the world. He doesn’t seem to know much about, well, anything, but he has a clear idea of where he wants us to go as a nation and that thought really resonates with our base,” said George VanderSloot, a GOP voter in Iowa, “I don’t care where Cain ends up, but I want him at the higher echelons of our government where he belongs.”
While observers understand the positions of Secretary of State and Defense, others questioned Santorum’s “Secretary of Really Important Stuff.” “Herman Cain’s brilliance and expertise cannot and should not be limited by one department or another. Whether it is advising the administration on Middle East policy, what wars we should start or drug policy, Mr. Cain’s unique perspective on the issues we face will turn this country around,” said one Santorum official. “Where is the best place to put Herman Cain? Defense Department? Commerce Department? NASA? The newly conceived outpost on Mars? It’s hard to tell. We want to put him to work in a place where he can best help the American people.”
Other observers noted that some of the Santorum proposals amounted to just sending Cain away. “Look, we all want Cain’s supporters, but not all of us really want Cain. That man is bat-shit crazy. When we had experts look at the GOP candidates, the only thing that kept Michele Bachmann out of the hospital was that Cain was interviewed immediately before she was.” - Return to Previous Page
