Election 2012: How About a Former Pizza Guy

Herman Cain is not a household name. But it might be in a year.

Cain, the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, is flirting with the idea of a 2012 presidential run says the Daily Caller. And he's hoping to tap into the grassroots, Tea Party movement if he should take the presidential plunge. "They’re ready for a non-establishment candidate," Cain told the DC at a recent "Spending Revolt" rally in Florida. He has become a sought after figure on the Tea Party speaking circuit.

He might just have the experience grassroots supporters crave. His strong resume, according to his website, includes a ten year stint leading Godfather's Pizza, and he's the past chairman and member of the board of directors for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. He also has a daily radio program in Georgia, giving him a microphone to explain his potential platform.

What might that platform be based on? "I’m not a politician. I’m a problem solver," Cain told the DC. "The people of Washington DC — when was the last time they fixed anything? Name one. They haven’t fixed anything. That’s what frustrates me and a lot of people."

"Political arrogance, reckless spending and passing reckless legislation have defined this administration and Congress," Cain adds on his website. "Voters are fed up and waking up – and will show up at the polls in November 2010 and beyond."

The decision to run, however, has not been finalized. He's already lost at least one political bid -- a 2004 Georgia Senatorial attempt. Money, supporters, and this November's elections will all factor in to the decision for 2012. For now, he' happy to give speeches and preach fiscal responsiblity.
