A less painful, corrective redo here/sigh and in a nutshell:

Certainly; he can learn and grow; but with an expense of time - now a luxury -per dealing with our many crisis, ‘at hand’.

Got it exactly backwards.

Going to yet another professional political clone to fix the broken political system is exactly the thinking that go us into this mess to start with.

And let us dispense with the nonsense about 0.

0 spent his whole career as part of the same political/media/ legal education system as the rest of the political Establishment. He may not have a whole lot of office holding experience but his whole life experience has been an apprenticeship to be in politics

Conservatives keep making this same mistake. You keep looking to the next drug addict to run the pharmacy.

Certainly; he can learn and grow; but with an expense of time - now a luxury -per dealing with our many crisis, ‘at hand’.

And what makes you think electing another politician will solve our nation's woes; especially since it's their breed that has gotten us here?

Agree. We're in an emergency situation here and now is not the time to let an apprentice take the reigns. We can't afford the time it would take to bring him up to speed.

No one person has all the qualifications needed to run this country. Surrounding oneself with the best advisors is what makes the difference. Bush had Cheney (should have been other way around) but did not always heed his advice or he wouldn't have set the stage for an Obamination. One must expect that Cain would find the best people to guide him on foreign affairs and other issues, then vet out their advice to ensure their abilities/loyalty to the Constitution/People on each issue. With the right people in place, an otherwise moron could be successful - Cain is no moron.

I vote "Yes - he is qualified"
