Herman Cain: Putting Chris Christie On GOP Ticket Would ‘Backfire’

Remember early 2011′s pop confection Herman Cain? The former Godfather’s Pizza CEO/Pokémon aficionado is still making headlines with his Solutions Revolution tour, and on Your World today he had some advice for frontrunner Mitt Romney: choosing Chris Christie as a vice presidential candidate could sink his campaign– but only adopting 999 could save it.

Host Neil Cavuto was discussing Romney’s chances– as well as other frontrunners– after a particularly strenuous primary season. “You guys were beating each other up so badly,” Cavuto noted (to which Cain protested, “I wasn’t beating anybody up!”), “are they just damaged goods?”

Cain replied that he did not believe so; on the contrary, he thought once the Republicans had a “kumbaya” moment, they’d be in good shape. That said, if Romney became the nominee, “he still has to do something dramatic to bring everyone together.”

Dramatic? “He could put a very well-liked conservative on the ticket.”

Like Chris Christie! “I don’t think he’s considered a conservative. In fact, I think that could backfire.”

Cain explained that the problem with Christie was that he would “not cause conservatives to rally around” and “could do more harm than good.” Instead, Cain had another proposition– one that he clarified was not at all “self-promotion.” “What if he adopted 999?”

You don’t want to be in the room when Chris Christie “backfires.”

You don’t want to be anywhere near Chris Christie after he goes down on a couple of meatball subs and then “backfires.”

Why doesn’t Cain have his own show on Fox yet with one of their blonde tarts as his co-host?

I think he’s the vice president of the station or something so he can go on when ever he wants.

Because Fox is protective of their blonde tarts and that would be like throwing one in the lion’s den wearing meat panties.

Come now, he would be a perfect expert consultant with Joey Greco on Cheaters.

He’s right though. Christie is popular with the GOP because of his pugnaciousness. However, dissect him, and he will be unpalatable to the evangelicals and far right wing = base of the GOP. (I mean, the guy actually forcefully defended his judge appointee who was a Muslim by saying he will not listen to ‘the krazies.” ) The base does not like that bellicose language turned against them. He would be a nice center-right candidate…but that’s not what the 2012 GOP electorate wants. They are currently rejecting their conservative candidate of the year 2008 by an almost 3:1 ratio.

It also has to do with demographics. Another Governor from the Corridor just wouldn’t wash.

Very true. A conservative from the north east is just another liberal….LOL. Seriously, that’s how people in the south look at it.

Looks like I’m the only one with the real story why Sarah’s not in the race and Cain had to end the campaign.

Yeah, they should take the advice of a guy whose economic strategy was written by a Wells Fargo junior branch manager and pushed like a pizza delivery special. Shouldn’t this guy be at home, trying to patch things up with his wife?

Jeepers, I’m sure all of the R candidates are just sitting around waiting for Cain’s advice. NOT.

Since when did the opinion of a serial sex addict count for anything? 9-9-9 was an old pizza ad he trotted out. It made no sense whatsoever and only other narcissistic womanizers would think it did. He was a fool from the beginning. He is the God Father of trash.

How about Christie & Quayle???

Gov. Christie Creme will be in no emotional shape to run if the stories of Twinkie-maker Hostess going bankrupt are true.
