All Cain needs to know is which one of these STANS requires a visit or two from the kamikaze drones.

I am sure Cain knows the number of states we have...That puts him way ahead of Obama.

EU perspective:

"He's black, you stupid Republicans! You can't vote for him on that basis alone. If you listened to your European betters you would be backing moderate, likeable Romney!"

Actually instead of second guessing the military and pretending to be the smartest guy in the room like Obama, Mr. Cain would probably let his generals conduct the wars with little or no interference other than his informed approval.

The commander in chief does not need to be involved at the tactical level and shouldn’t really be all too involved at a strategic level.

Any president who directs a war at the battalion level is doomed to lose a war (black ops are an exception).

“He is so obviously unqualified for the position that his leading the polls is a commentary on the field of candidates and the rationality of the Republican primary electorate.”

but Obama was qualified.... how??

This is not really an EU perspective. It is typical inside the beltway BS:

” . . . political scientist John Fortier of prominent Washington DC-based think tank Bipartisan Policy Center . . . .”

“Thomas Mann, a specialist in US elections at the Brookings Institution, a prominent [leftist] public policy [propaganda] organisation in Washington”

Career “professional” Politicians got us into this mess. We need Cain like minded people elected at all levels of government in order to get our nation off that “Greece Road to Prosperity”.

I completely agree! Herman Cain 2012. We all heard how much Obama made last time around off his $5 internet based donations... so I decided maybe the little extra cash I have could make a difference this time around... and especially if millions more people will follow my lead. I had already ordered my Herman Cain bumper stickers from his website and they should be on their way, so Wednesday, I decided to skip lunch and Donate another $9.99 through his website. I plan to do the same at least once if not twice a month.

Don’t forget about your Reps in the House and Senate. If Cain is elected he will need as many like minded people. If not, the “Professional” in both parties will fight him tooth and nail.

Of course, you are right, but that does point out an important fact. The media have become the Ministry of Propaganda for the Democrat Party and the Democrat Party is outright socialist. Where the Republican Party has to buy air time and political ads, the Democrats get a 24/7 free ride disguised as reporting and journalism. Through in the money they get from the laundering of union dues into campaign contributions and you see what an uphill battle we have.

The GOP party insiders want a candidate that will not be as polarizing as a staunch conservative in order to try to offset the media to some extent. Most Americans want a staunch conservative and therein lies the rub.

God love him. He MUST fortify and upgrade his most vulnerable area: Foreign Policy. If I were a GOP rival, the MSM or Obama, this is precisely where and how I would derail Herman. There is still time to reinforce this vital area, tone down the jokes, and develop a more CONFIDENT, informed narrative. We are in the BIG LEAGUES now.

Cain’s foreign policy inexperience is easily remedied. Republicans could declare him an honorary member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and add all the hearings he didn’t attend to his resume. That, plus a couple of quick overnighters to London and Beijing, would bring him up to Obamaspeed pronto.
