My reply to "you mean the pizza guy" is "yes, and the rocket scientist, the computer guy, and the banker."
That opens to the door talking about his time as a mathematician for the Navy designing guidance systems for ballistic missles (rocket scientist), VP of corporate data systems for Pillsbury (computer guy), and chairman of KC Federal Reserve (banker).
I have an in law that is a local branch manager for a regional bank. When I mentioned Cain's time at the Fed, he suddenly got interested. When I explained Cain's entire background, his reply was "Wow, maybe I should give him a look."
If Cain get's tagged as the pizza guy, he'll be in trouble. If his entire life story gets out, he'll make it.

If Cain get's tagged as the pizza guy, he'll be in trouble. If his entire life story gets out, he'll make it. I agree. But for the reasons you stated, I think that by the time the general election comes around, Cain's credentials will be pretty well known, assuming his team does a good job getting them out there.
And I think Republican primary voters will get the message long before the primaries are over.
