Obama would flat out destroy Cain in a debate. Cain is nowhere near ready to deal with the kind of issues that will come up in a presidential debate. The only reason he gets away with things like “I can’t tell you my Afghanistan/Iraq policy till I’m elected” or “I’m not for raising the debt limit but it’s too late for my plan to work” is because people don’t take him seriously enough to bother making a fuss over these sorts of gaffes.

Cain needs to win a local race first, maybe a House seat somewhere, then maybe something statewide. He’s going to have to come up through the system like pretty much everyone else, learn how to handle tough questions, how to deal with the media and generally prove he can win something before he can be taken seriously as a presidential candidate.

Soooo, winning something is now considered to having the credentials to be a valid presidential candidate?

Whatever happened to accomplishments?

Obama had NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS either as a State or US Senator and how's he working out for ya?

LOL, the minor leagues has such a proven record of producing top quality major league talent in politics.

That's why the country is in such awesome shape!

Yes. He choked when Wallace asked him about the Palestinians on Sunday's FoxNews Sunday.

He isn't ready for prime time, especially on foreign affairs. [I think that bandwagon will be a tad more successful than the Thompson 2008 one, but it won't get very far.]
