Herman Cain (born December 13, 1945)[4] is an American author, business executive, radio host, syndicated columnist, and Tea Party activist from Georgia.[5][6][7] He was a candidate for the 2012 U.S. Republican Party presidential nomination.
In May 2011, Cain announced his presidential candidacy. By the fall, his proposed 9–9–9 tax plan and debating performances had made him the Republican front-runner and he briefly led President Obama in the polls.[20] In November, however, his campaign struggled with allegations of sexual misconduct – all denied by Cain[21] – and he announced its suspension on December 3.[22] At the end of 2011, the Pew Research Center reported that, of the Republican candidates, “Herman Cain was the most covered candidate” during the year.
