The field of Republican contenders for president of the United States got a little more crowded over the weekend as several candidates formally announced their intentions to seek the office.
Atlanta-based radio commentator Herman Cain held a rally in Atlanta's Centennial Park over the weekend to officially announce his candidacy. Cain, the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, has no political experience but does has a loyal radio audience for his talk show on AM 750.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “thousands” showed up to the rally in a show of support.
