5 Future Herman Cain Quotes: Pokemon Was Just The Start

First Posted: 08/14/11 06:57 PM ET   Updated: 10/13/11 06:12 AM ET

In Friday's Republican debate, Herman Cain quoted a poet who said "Life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it's never easy when there's so much on the line". Turns out, that quote comes from "The Power of One", a song from Pokémon: The Movie 2000.
And this wasn't the first time he used this quote. He has used it at least three times before.

So who will he quote next? Here are a few of our guesses. Feeling inspirational yourself? Then add your own predictions!

Is Herman Cain a fool or is he just pretending to be one?

As a video games fan I hope the only character that Republican politicians quote is Gordon Freeman.

The Duke Nukem bubble gum quote actually comes from the Rowdy Roddy Piper movie THEY LIVE, only it went "I am here to chew bubble gum and kick a#*, and I'm all out of bubble gum."

Thank you for attributing this correctly. That was my thought too.

The Herman Cain quote I am waiting for is, "I am withdrawing my candidacy for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination and withdrawing forever from public life.

Fat chance.

JFYI so we can keep it real and honest. Pokemon 'borrowed' the song from a Donna Summer album - Donna Summer 'borrowed' the lyrics from a passage in the 1992 book, "Power of One" by Bryce Courtney.
Herman has seen the movie with his grandkids...BUT i assure you he got the quote from the book.

But that book is over three pages long and therefore Herman would never have read it.
