Thus far, he's the only declared presidential candidate for the 2012 election season from any political party. As a former CEO for Godfather Pizza, Herman Cain has demonstrated experience as a businessman, and - as pointless as it should be to even point out - is a so-called minority. It seems he would be the "darling" of a wide variety of special interest groups in America today. But with idiocy seeming more vast than the Universe itself, let's see what sorts of character assassination tactics might be directed towards Herman Cain from the Democrat party in the upcoming 2012 presidential election:

Anticipated Herman Cain character assassination ploy number one: Political affiliation Millions of Americans have been brainwashed to believe that anyone running on a Republican ticket must hate "Joe Six-Pack." It's what Hollywood, most public school employees, and union bullies around the nation push, anyway.

Anticipated Herman Cain character assassination ploy number two: Race We can expect to see those who once decried any criticism of Barack Obama as racist now turn and attack another candidate for being a "minority," and somehow a "sellout" for running on the Republican ticket. The leftist interests in America being so focused on skin color, like they too often seem to be.

Those who rely upon collectivist mentalities might not even come up with any real concerns, in fact. We can be sure that, what was once bad to say about Democrat Barack Obama, will somehow magically be just fine to say about Republican Herman Cain. It looks like the Democrat party will need to bring out the Al Sharpton gun again.

Anticipated Herman Cain character assassination ploy number three: He's a businessman. This attack ploy is a no-brainer. Remember that the current president considers American business "the enemy" for not "spreading the wealth," and daring to profit without permission from "group-think" mentalities. There are those who live their whole lives believing all profit-oriented business is bad, in spite of their enjoying every benefit free-market business has brought to Mankind.

So, for Herman Cain to have actually faced challenges like meeting a payroll, making a tough choice of which employee to fire and which to keep on, paying taxes, and the like, the parasite class (both within our oligarchy and the populace) must see him as the enemy. Sadly, he will be portrayed as such. No need for actual facts in American politics, right?
