obama. cain i don t know if he could maybe. but i ll say this, they want ronald reagan. there are no ronald reagans out there. bachman isn t. perry isn t. santorum isn t. whoever the others are. but i ll tell you the one who comes close, herman cain. bill: to ronald reagan? yes. bill: we don t know yet. in the same way that he s optimistic. he came up from he didn t grow up wealthy. bill: no. he s a boot strap guy. he has a great story. bill: i don t see him as being reagan because reagan had the california experience behind him as the governor of a very complex state. i m talking about how you come across to ordinary and i use that word in the best sense ordinary americans. cain comes across the reason he s doing so well in the polls is he comes across, yeah, i sort of like that guy. bill: he s not a politician. but what about when what you call them purist, they say, look what happened with mccain?
a lot of money. you got to hire a lot of people, be well organized, and obviously the obama people are extremely well organized and well funded. the romney people as well. all right? well organized, well funded, they got their guy. but herman cain doesn t have guys or people. he doesn t have at the moment he really doesn t have the funds to put together an organization and i m not sure he has the time. but probably the most important factor in that bill is he doesn t seem to be trying. he s going around the country, he s as much on a book tour as he is on a campaign tour. bill: that might not be a bad strategy because he s got to get well-known. he s got to get people to know his name and what he stands for. but he s mostly got to get well-known in the states where the early primaries occur. you simply can t lose a bunch of early primary states and hope to go anywhere. bill: i don t know where he makes his stand. i mean, iowa looks to me like is up for grabs right now.
troubles? no, i think you re on target. if you look what s going on in massachusetts with elizabeth warren, who was the consumer lady that the obama folks brought in and now running against scott brown in massachusetts, she is using class warfare rhetoric and as a result, has vaulted ahead of scott brown in those polls and raising unhealed amounts of money. terrific for her. where you re wrong, bill, where you go wrong it not in understanding this crosses political lines. that a majority of americans right now think the republicans represent the rich, that the taxes should be raised on those who make more than 200,000, and that the class warfare strategy of president obama they say it s bringing the country together. people are just mad at wall street. bill: i mean, if that were the case, why is herman cain in a new cnn poll beating president obama head to head? the folks are going, that s right. president obama is correct, it s not his fault. so wall street you know. they re s

one of the questions is: who do you think, besides romney, could beat barak obama in a debate? i don t think any of them can. the second question is more important: name two conservative presidents in the last 80 years. name two. you can t. there is only been one. ronald reagan. bill: he wasn t that conservative when he came in. he won partially because of the conservativism. but because of his personality. bill: right. but i believe that my audience that favors cain would say to you, herman cain will wipe the floor with barak obama. there is no question. i ll tell what you else they say because i heard it on talk radio. they d say sarah palin would do the same thing, even though polls show even republicans didn t want sarah palin to run. bill: i think sarah palin is a different person because sarah palin has got a lot of baggage and cain doesn t. that separates the two. in a rhetorical debate, i think cain could hold his own with obama.
