Conservative muckraker Andrew Breitbart said Thursday that he wants radio host Herman Cain and Freshman Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) on the 2012 GOP ticket.
Speaking at a lecture held at the conseravtive Heritage Foundation, Breitbart argued that rather than nominate Tim Pawlenty, Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney, the GOP should run two African-Americans against Barack Obama.
“The only way to defeat political correctness and cultural marxism and multiculturalism is to aim straight at its head,” Breitbart said.
Breitbart said a Cain-West ticket would be more than just a novelty act. He cited Cain’s business experience and West’s military background as factors that would qualify each to serve in higher office. Cain, a conservative talk show host, formed a presidential exploratory committee in January. Though relatively unknown on a national scale, recent Gallup polls revealed a high favorability rating among voters who had heard of him. West, meanwhile, has become a favorite of Tea Partiers, and has pledged to use his seat in Congress to put pressure on senior Republicans to legislate conservatively.
Emphasis Mine...
