When he spoke to my students last week, one of them asked him why he felt he was qualified to be president. His answer was great... he listed his experiences as a CEO and leader of large corporations, and then he turned the question around and asked the students how well being a governor or a senator had prepared the last few presidents. “How’d that work out for us?” I believe were his exact words. I think this election cycle will be a bit different than ones in the past—or at least that’s my hope. I have no doubts that, if elected, he would choose the best possible advisors to work on the general agenda, just as Reagan did.
Mr. Cain is certainly on my radar. If he jumps in, I hope he stays in unlike my early choices last time, being left with Romney or McCain in the end.
