"After I win the Republican nomination, I will beat President Obama in the general election. The American people are tired of the failed economic policies of the current administration. President Obama's plan to tax and spend our way out of this mess will not work," said Republican candidate Herman Cain.
Mr. Cain continued: "My '9-9-9 Plan' is resonating with America because it is fair, simple and a real solution to the economic situation we are in. That is why more and more Americans are dropping their support for Obama and joining the Cain Train."
