Herman Cain Gospel Album Hits Internet

Presidential candidate, pizza mogul, gospel singer? Herman Cain might just have the most eclectic resume ever.

Cain, a Republican 2012 hopeful, recorded a gospel album. Six tracks from "Sunday Morning" hit the web today. Check them out below.

From Slate's David Weigel:

It's real, it was published 15 years ago by GLC Music, Selah Sound Production & Melodic Praise Records, and it is not being distributed now by the Cain campaign

Cain isn't the first politician to double as a musician. In November, Jimmy McMillian, New York gubernatorial candidate for the Rent Is Too Damn High party, released an R&B album.

Cain's latest poll numbers suggest that a music career might not be a bad backup option. He came in 4th in an Iowa poll after Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty.

He also took heat for recent comments that an alligator-filled moat could be suitable border security solution.

Herman Cain is great! Repubs have some great candidates in Cain, Bachman, and Santorum. Others are good too, but those three are competing for the top spot on my ballot right now!

And all GOP candidates are trillions of times plus one better than what we have now!

What a joke. Cain lost $200 million of his employees' money which was invested in their own company, Aquila Energy, while Cain was a director; and at the same time he gave himself and other execs $30 million in bonuses. He is exactly the type of fraud and thief I would expect the GOP to run.

@William:
Friend, I actually totally agree with your expressed sentiments. Well, almost...I wouldn't have used the word "pricks": God loves atheists, and Jesus died for all sinners. God is angry with sinners but still loves them and offers salvation to them. We who were ourselves all sinners and have been forgiven can do no less than hold out to all others this good news of the message of reconciliation to God through his Son.
Your posting so ungrammatically expressed nevertheless contains priceless truth, which sometimes highly "educated" minds pass over. Wise men, however, still seek Him.

I agree, Paul. Believers should not take joy in a non-believer's lost condition. Rather, we should have the mind of Christ (as much as possible), and pray for them to come to know him Their ultimate future is what no person would seek if he knew the Truth.

Back to politics: I do like those I mentioned before, but I have to say, after seeing him on Hannity last night, that Newt Gingrich is a man of good ideas. His Contract with America was so successful back in the 90's that Bill Clinton still takes credit for it. He made a great suggestion last night to call the President's bluff. I hope the Repubs listen to him.

Why isn't this in the Comedy or Entertainment Section? This cIown has as much chance of winning the GOP nomination as my pet hamster.

You mean he has a chance? LMAO!

The hamster could beat obama right now.

[WowJones]

None of the GOP candidates are leading him in any polls. Maybe you better nominate a hamster.

I actually agree that an alligator-filled moat is a rational border barrier. Feeds the gators so even PETA will like it.

with all of his accompishments in office anyone could beat obama.

Is that why he leads all GOP comers in all head to head polls, including Rasmaussen?

Actually Bachman was the leader in Iowa

Being the boss of a chain of pizza places all making the same cardboard and ketchup pies is different from heading 50 different "restaurants" (plus 7 off mainland) with different cuisines and problems, likes and dislikes, different clientele.

Cain will freak the first time Congress and Senate laugh at him when states he expects them to do what he says. President is not King. It's not CEO Boss either. It's mediator and spokesperson to the world.

It's naive to think the what a president says, goes. Cain will become frustrated and do a Palin.

Kind of like a "community organizer" who hasn't even ran a lemonaide stand.

Warren Harding had more business experience than any POTUS in history and was a lousy President. Dubya got a Master's from Harvard Business School and ran lots of businesses in the ground. If you're looking for someone to run a lemonade stand, see the little girl down the street. Government is NOT a business.

Cain could easily beat obama in the 2012 elections

[WowJones]

Cain ain't able Sport. He won't come close to the nomination. Bill O embarrassed him so bad talking about foreign policy he almost stormed off the set.

That's why he needs Rice

Oh, I can't remember did Obama ever go on the Factor?

[William Dawson]

What ever you thing of Cain, he's got it so much more together than obama that there's no contest.

[FiredUpRTG]

We already had one president who didn't think before he spoke. Cain is worse because his flippant backtalk will get us into wars. Hiring no muslims at all? Build one of those high Chinese walls?

Still, McConnell said Republicans would "do the responsible thing" to avoid default, suggesting that a deal on the debt ceiling could be reached without a "real" deficit reduction package.

"The president has presented us with three choices: smoke and mirrors, tax hikes, or default. Republicans choose none of the above. I had hoped to do good, but I refuse to do harm. So Republicans will choose a path that actually reflects the will of the people, which is to do the responsible thing and ensure that the government doesn't default on its obligations," he said.

Mr. Obama has repeatedly said he wants a deal that would allow the U.S. to avoid confronting the issue again until after the 2012 elections
