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.

If they were running against Obama I would vote for either of them in a heart beat. But I believe that Mr. Cain’s presence, education, business experience, and life experiences would make him a better president than either of them. The framers of the constitution had a different view of who the leaders of our country should be than you. Their vision was for citizen leaders not career politicians. I trust their judgemnt on this more than yours, even if you do admire President Reagan.
