True, CAIN can walk the walk and talk the talk, that is a 1000 times better than sputtering, muttering, bumbling, perry.

I like Cain, but voters may well opt for the "proven" politician over another shot-in-the-dark candidate. And Cain, despite his personality and business acumen, is a bigger question mark than Obama was in 2008.

Don't be surprised when voters retreat to their collective comfort zone, turning the primaries into a choice between Mr. Socialized Medicine and the Poor Debater.

That’s one thing I worry about for the general election.

I did like Cain way back before he decided Perry was his primary target and I can prove it if I wanted to go back and grab old posts, which I don’t.

But even when I liked him I wondered about his chances in the general. I don’t think they are good.

Another unknown quantity? Even more unknown government-wise than Obama?

Why would this guy suddenly decide he should be president because he’s run a fairly successful business.

By that criteria, we should elect Trump.

He doesn’t run for congress, nor yet for the Senate, or governor, or lieutenant governor ... no, he’s all ready to be president.

I don’t buy it and I don’t think the country will buy it.

Can we take the chance based on the passion of some cult-like devotees?

If it does come down to that, I will go with the "Poor Debater", but for now Cain is the one most effectively promoting the conservative vision. This early in a primary I go with the one who can most effectively advance the conservative message. As the primary shakes out I worry more about practical question of who is the most conservative candidate with the best chance of winning. It is too early to tell who that person will be.

Deliver us from politicians! They, especially those who have been there so long they’ve taken root in Congress!

Washington is reeking with political corruption. It needs some fresh air!

But the Establishment has infiltrated every institution so I expect it will be business as usual.

That is what we all should fight. And if we don’t, we have only ourselves to blame.
