You think that only career politicians have records? Cain has a whole life that is not hidden that you “can judge him on”. He also has thousands of hours working as a conservative radio host along with several books. He also has incredible presence and the ability to captivate an audience without a teleprompter. He is not a mystery.

I have been a huge Ronald Reagan fan since before he was elected. Some of my most cherished possessions are my letters from Ronald Reagan relating to a front page Seattle Times article with my picture and quotes. My girlfriend and a couple friends helped me display a huge sign that I made that said “Tacoma Loves Yoo Mr. President”. There were hundreds of very nasty and outspoken leftists who turned out and tried to intimidate us and force us to leave. We made the front page; they got a tiny picture in the back of the paper. Good times! Good times!

The sign actually did not have a typo in it. LOL

We are electing the President of the USA. That requires a certain knowledge of politics beyond being a talk show host or business executive. I love Rush Limbaugh and I like Sean Hannity but I wouldn't vote for either one if they ran for potus. Same went for Ross Perot in 92&96. I see Cain the same way. Promoting conservatism through your rhetoric is great communication skills. It is not the same as governing or legislating as a conservative at the federal or state, city local levels.

In my lifetime there has been only one man elected potus who was not a politician. That would be Eisenhower. And most people thought that after 40 years in the military and being Supreme Allied Commander during WWII, Ike was a politician by default. We know he was a great leader.

The current occupant of the Oval Office has the least amount of executive governing experience of anyone to ever get elected President. He came into office with no experience leading anything inside government or outside government. Obama did get elected to the Illinois state legislature and to the US Senate. Cain doesn't have any elected experience. Being a good man is not good enough. The last thing we need is a neophyte going up against Obama and the liberal establishment machine.
