Despite businessman Herman Cain's stunning rise in the polls, conservative columnist George Will said Sunday that Cain does not merit serious attention from President Obama's reelection campaign.
Will said on ABC's "This Week with Christiane Amanpour" that Cain has not shown that he has staying power and that without a traditional campaign infrastructure, it's not clear that he is a serious candidate.
"We're having a kind of Andy Warhol primary where everybody is leader for 15 minutes and Cain's turn today but it's not clear that Cain has staying power," Will said. "He's not running for president, sort of strolling for president without an infrastructure. It's pretty and cute and nice but whether or not it works we can be doubtful."
Will said that President Obama's campaign strategy will be to go after the Republican candidate because his administration's "record isn't particularly appetizing."

Guess what chief? You might want to look at the bio of one Ronald Wilson Reagan. ZERO political record before leaping to the level of Governor of California. I think that worked out fine.
It’s a ridiculous statement that anyone could make against any candidate at any level at any time. I’ve heard that crap argument made against guys running for city council for the first time.
So what? Are you trying to tell me that race hasn’t been an issue and remains so in the minds of those (not all) in both political houses? It has been used as a subtle weapon by both parties, on one hand to enslave and guarantee support for the Democrats and on the other to pursue the socialist agenda which has managed to infiltrate and corrupt the Conservative wing of the Republican party. George Will is not a conservative and his brand of writing tends to support the status quo of crony-capitalism, too-big-to-fail bailouts and corporate welfare. None of which is conservative in the least. If you are not conservative in your politics, IMO you have zero credibility, as any other social-political view is nothing but theory in order to avoid personal responsibility. So-called liberals or moderate conservatives are wolfs in sheeps clothing, and are not above lying, cheating, or the subtleties of race-baiting. You can pretend otherwise, but I’m tired of journalists who attempt to manipulate opinion through deceit and innuendo, George Will included
Great, so we can count on lower taxes and exorbitant Empire-expanding military spending. A great combo so far.
Just like Jimmy Carter.
