Here is my gripe: He is dismissive of the details when he speaks, and in government, especially Federal government, there are so many layers of details, authorizations, and mandates in layer after layer of legislation, some going back to the ‘60s that the solution is politically arduous, but he doesn’t accept it.

Fair enough; that's a very legitimate point. From an "electability" standpoint I think he could capitalize on his total outsider perspective, but certainly the position Palin (or other candidates) can take is that he lacks the knowledge required to successfully perform the job.

I still think that Cain, with his vast knowledge of business and math, will make an excellent VP for Palin :o)
