I'm pretty certain that Herman Cain is not a programmer. I live in Atlanta and he's had an obnoxious talk radio show here for years. I don't think it's the education that is relevant, it's the profession and world view.
According to wikipedia he has a Masters in computer science, did ballistics analysis for the US Navy and worked as a computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola before becoming a business analyst and later a manager. So while he probably hasn't programmed for a couple of decades or more he has done so in the past.

The Masters is cited with a dead link. The title of the citation also has "honorary" in the title...

You mean this? "2004 Honorary Doctoral Recipient Computer Science, M.S. 1971"
Seems fairly clear that "Honorary" refers to a Doctorate degree, not to his Masters
