Early life[edit]

Herman Cain was born on December 13, 1945,[1]inMemphis, Tennessee,to Lenora Davis Cain (1925–1982), a cleaning woman and domestic worker, and Luther Cain (1925–2005), who was raised on a farm and worked as a barber and janitor, as well as a chauffeur forRobert W. Woodruff,the president ofThe Coca-Cola Company.Cain said that as he was growing up, his family was "poor but happy." Cain related that his mother taught him about her belief that "success was not a function of what you start out with materially, but what you start out with spiritually." His father worked three jobs to own his own home—which he achieved during Cain's childhood—and to allow his two sons to attend college.[2][3]

Cain grew up on the west side ofAtlanta,attendingS. H. Archer High Schooland the Rev.Cameron M. Alexander's Antioch Baptist Church North in the neighborhood now known asThe Bluff.Eventually the family moved to a modest brick home on Albert Street in theCollier Heightsneighborhood.

Under Cain, his region posted strong improvement in three years.[9][14]According to a 1987 account in theMinneapolis Star Tribune,Pillsbury's then-president Win Wallin said, "He was an excellent bet. Herman always seemed to have his act together."[12]At Burger King, Cain "established the BEAMER program, which taught our employees, mostly teenagers, how to make our patrons smile" by smiling themselves. It was a success: "Within three months of the program's initiation, the sales trend was moving steadily higher."[15]

Cain's success at Burger King prompted Pillsbury to appoint him president and CEO of another subsidiary,Godfather's Pizza.On his arrival on April 1, 1986, Cain told employees, "I'm Herman Cain and this ain't noApril Fool'sjoke. We are not dead. Our objective is to prove to Pillsbury and everyone else that we will survive. "[12]Godfather's Pizza was performing poorly, having slipped in ranks of pizza chains from third in 1985 to fifth in 1988.[9]Under Cain's leadership, Godfather's closed approximately 200 restaurants and eliminated several thousand jobs, and by doing so returned to profitability.[16]In a leveraged buyout in 1988, Cain, executive vice president and COO Ronald B. Gartlan, and a group of investors bought Godfather's from Pillsbury.[9]

"[34]

Role in the defeat of 1993 Clinton health care plan[edit]

In 1994, as president-elect of theNational Restaurant Association,Cain challengedPresident Bill Clintonon the costs of the employer mandate contained within theHealth Security Actand criticized the effect on small businesses.Bob CohnofNewsweekdescribed Cain as one of the primary opponents of the plan:[44]

The Clintons would later blame "Harry and Louise,"the fictional couple in the ads aired by the insurance industry, for undermining health reform. But the real saboteurs are named Herman and John. Herman Cain is the president of Godfather's Pizza and president-elect of the National Restaurant Association. An articulate entrepreneur, Cain transformed the debate when he challenged Clinton at a town meeting in Kansas City, Missouri. Cain asked the president what he was supposed to say to the workers he would have to lay off because of the cost of the" employer mandate ". Clinton responded that there would be plenty of subsidies for small businessmen, but Cain persisted." Quite honestly, your calculation is inaccurate, "he told the president." In the competitive marketplace it simply doesn't work that way. "

— Bob Cohn, The Lost Chance, Newsweek

Because Kemp was impressed with Cain's performance, he chartered a plane toNebraskato meet Cain after the debate. As a result, Cain was appointed to theKemp Commissionin 1995.[45][46][47]

Joshua GreenofThe Atlanticcalled Cain's exchange with President Clinton his "auspicious debut on the national political stage."[48]

"However, Cain went on to state," I believe that I had a better message and I believe that I was the better messenger. "[50]After ending his own campaign, however, he endorsedSteve Forbes.[51]

He was pursuing the seat that came open with the retirement ofDemocratZell Miller.Cain sought the Republican nomination, facing congressmenJohnny IsaksonandMac Collinsin the primary. Collins tried to paint Cain as a moderate,[52]citing Cain's support foraffirmative actionprograms, while Cain argued that he was a conservative, noting that he opposed the legality of abortion except when the mother's life is threatened.[53]Cain finished second in the primary with 26.2% of the vote, ahead of Collins, who won 20.6%, but because Isakson won 53.2% of the vote, Isakson was able to avoid arunoff.[54]

ATea Partyactivist,[58]Cain addressed numerous Tea Party rallies in 2010.[6]Following the2010 midterm elections,Cain announced his intentions to run for president in December 2010, stating that there was a 70% chance that he would attempt to seek the office.[59]Later that month, he was the "surprise choice" for 2012 GOP nominee in aRedStatereader poll.[6]Cain announced the formation of anexploratory committeeon January 12, 2011,[60][61]before formally announcing his candidacy on May 21 in Atlanta.[62]

Straw poll victories[edit]

Cain's addresses to conservative groups were well received,[63]and in late September and early October 2011, Cain won the straw polls of theFlorida Republican Party,TeaCon, and theNational Federation of Republican Women's Convention.[64][65]"My focus groups have consistently picked Herman Cain as the most likeable candidate in the debates," said GOP pollsterFrank Luntz."Don't underestimate the power of likability, even in a Republican primary. The more likeable the candidate, the greater the electoral potential."[64][66]

9–9–9 Plan[edit]

Main article:9–9–9 Plan

In July 2011, an advisor suggested that his campaign's tax policy plan be called "the Optimal Tax", but Cain rejected the name, saying "we're just going to call it what it is: 9–9–9 Plan."[67]The plan would have replaced the then current tax code with a 9-percent business transactions tax, a 9-percent personal income tax, and a 9-percent federal sales tax. During a debate on October 12, Cain said his plan "expands the base," arguing that "when you expand the base, we can arrive at the lowest possible rate, which is 9–9–9."[68]An analysis released toBloomberg Newsby the campaign claimed that the rate for each of the three taxes could in fact be as low as 7.3%, but "poverty grants" —which Cain described as a lower rate in targeted "empowerment zones"[69]—necessitated a national rate of nine percent.[68]Paul Krugmancriticized the plan, saying it shifts much of the current tax burden from the rich to the poor.[70]Arthur Laffer,[67]Lawrence Kudlow,[71]theClub for Growth,[72]and CongressmanPaul Ryan[73]spoke favorably of the plan. On October 21, Cain told a crowd in Detroit that the plan would be 9–0–9 for the poor, saying that "if you are at or below the poverty level... then you don't pay that middle nine on your income."[74]Cain's 9–9–9 plan attracted skepticism from his fellow candidates at numerous Republican debates.[75]

Sexual harassment allegations[edit]

In late October 2011,Politicoreported that Cain had been accused by two women of sexual harassment and misconduct during his time as CEO of theNational Restaurant Associationin the late 1990s.[76][77]Two other women made additional harassment accusations later on. Cain acknowledged that the restaurant organization made financial settlements to the complainants. Two of the four women came forward publicly: Sharon Bialek and Karen Kraushaar.[78]

On November 28, 2011, Cain asserted that a woman named Ginger White claimed to have had an affair with him and that the allegation was not true.[79]In an interview with White, which aired on the same day, she stated that the affair lasted 13 years and ended right before Cain announced his presidential campaign.[80]On November 30, 2011, at an event inDayton, Ohio,Cain denounced the allegations ofsexual harassmentandadultery.[81]

End of 2012 campaign[edit]

On December 3, 2011, Cain suspended his campaign. The sexual harassment claims were widely considered responsible for the sharp drop in his poll numbers.[82][83]

According to aPew Research Centerreport on December 21, 2011, Cain was the "most covered candidate" among the Republicans during that year.[84]

Cain's Solutions Revolution[edit]

On January 4, 2012, Cain announced the "Cain's Solutions Revolution". Cain's stated goal was to get commitments from members of Congress to support the 9–9–9 Plan before the 2012 elections.[85]Cain stated that he started a new movement because the "biggest comment I got when I ended my candidacy was to keep 9–9–9 alive. That's what this is about, and I'm going to keep it alive with what I'm calling Cain's Solutions Revolution."[86]In order to promote this movement, Cain employed both a bus tour and a new website.[87]New Yorkmagazine stated, "It's Cain's earnest effort to keep 9–9–9 alive and focus on solutions."[88]On January 20, 2012, Cain spoke atStephen Colbert's "Rock Me Like a Herman Cain: South Cain-Olina Primary Rally".[89]The Huffington Postreported the crowd size was between 3,000 and 5,000 people. It was described at the time as "the largest campaign rally so far during this GOP presidential primary season".[90]

State of the Union response[edit]

For PresidentBarack Obama's2012 State of the Union address,theTea Party Expresschose Cain to give its second annual response.[91]After Indiana GovernorMitch Danielsgave the official GOP response,[92]Cain delivered his speech at theNational Press Club.[93]The speech was streamed live on the Tea Party Express website.[92][94]Cain referred to Obama's address as a "hodgepodge of liberal ideas," adding that there were "no big ideas that would impact job growth" and "no big ideas that would stimulate economic growth in this country."[95]

Call for a third party[edit]

AlthoughMitt Romneywas endorsed by Cain on May 15, 2012,[96]he would eventually lose the general election to President Obama.[97]Cain then toldBryan Fischerthat the Republican Party no longer represented the interests of conservatives in the United States and that it did not have "the ability to rebrand itself." He asserted that "a legitimatethird party"would be needed to replace it.[98]

The church's senior pastor, Rev.Cameron M. Alexander,did not share Cain's political philosophy.[105]
