Why are the GOP candidates so inarticulate, all of them, Cain included? Gingrich is the only one that can put obama in his place and frazzle his audacity.
"I used to be for illegals, bi-ntl insurance and against border fences...
not necessarily in that order. Then I became a presidential candidate,
had a couple debates--and saw my numbers tank into oblivion."
"Hey, amigos, things change. Now you'll get nothing from me but agita."
Really good, articulate, intellectually conservative candidates without glaring flaws or skeletons in their closet come around rarely. It really makes one appreciate Ronald Reagan and realize there may not be another in any of our lifetimes.
I always go back to Prime Ministers Questions if you've ever seen it. If a our candidate is not quick enough on his or her feet to handle a sometimes hostile back and forth like that, then they probably can't communicate very well and will be endlessly frustrating communications wise the way Bush was.
Personally I think Cain is pretty impressive and quick on his feet. The problem is, I don't think Cain can actually win the nomination as a political novice.
Because all you have been getting from them is soundbites. It is very hard to articulate a conservative message in a 30 second soundbite. It is easy to spit out a liberal soundbite, because there is no substance needed.

Gingrich is a master at making a complicated argument seem simple and is also a master at doing it in as few words as possible.
