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."

“George Will: Cain not running, but ‘strolling’ for president”
And yet, he’s neck-in-neck with Romney with Perry lagging way behind...
is there a Youtube link ?
A vote for Perry is a vote for Romney. Keep supporting Perry if you *really* want Romney to get elected...
details ... or an internet link to the story ?
George Will: The fart that never stops expelling.
>> “I’m sending Perry $500 in the morning.” <<
.
Romney will love you. - So will the RNC.
We don’t need you dull hacks here.
This is a very silly article by the human pinstripe, George Will. As someone who has actually been forced to sit through an Andy Warhol movie, I would advise that the Pinstripe either stop comparing the Republican primary to one or be forced to spend face time with Viva.
>> “I am here to get Perry elected. Period.” <<
.
Thanks for your honesty, traitor.
Say hello to Soros for us.
His whole campaign has been and continues to be against against the establishment tide, Is anyone other that Ron Paul running a more untraditional race? Is anyone other than Cain NOT a career politician? Perry has done little other than run for this office or that office most of his life. Now EVEN in Texas someone doesnt spend that much time in politics and NOT become connected and yet you want to brand Cain as being on the inside?
A insider doesnt go without money for long as has been pointed out about Cain. So tell me how can Cain be an insider and Cain cant raise money at the same time? So which is it?
You want to claim that Cain is an insider working with Mitt, yet it was the insiders that did him in on his senate race so you think he owes them something? Now you have Perry who has now spent most of his adult life running for something or holding this office or that a career politician and yet you dont think hes connected? You dont think he owes people?
The insiders are already whispering that Perry was hand picked by the Republican elite to help Mitt out, they just thought they needed him to handle Bachmann they never did consider Cain a threat until now.
Perry is a connected career politician and an insiderthat would be far more valuable to Mitt. Perry is a career politician who knows how to get along a ‘Heartfelt’ compassionate conservative who can raise money and brings Texas into the fold for Mitt. Now you tell me where is the value of Cain to Mitt Romney?
The “tubes” have rendered “traditional campaign infrastructure” obsolete.
Cain is a Tea Party Republican. Will is a cocktail party Republican.
Will can be a real jackass. But that is funny. LOL
By your logic we should all vote for Obama because he’s raised more money than anyone. It’s amazing that Perry has raised all this money, yet he’s tanking in the polls and straw votes.
You don’t quite understand how this all works, do you?
Are you quite sure that Herman Cain is a part-time pastor at this exact congregation? Or perhaps I misunderstood -- are you suggesting something different?
>> We dont need you dull hacks here.
?
Says who? Who is “we”? I missed the memo — when did JR promote you to the membership vetting committee? I didn’t even know there *was* one.
Cain has a “solidly conservative” talk show career. These days, that’s plenty apparently.
If Cain HAD shown up at Mr. Will’s house in Georgetown, Mr. Will would have probably directed him to the servant’s entrance.
An adult is someone who can’t even string together five words to construct a coherent sentence?
MNJohnnie— I am generally positive about Herman Cain. He’s a likable candidate. I am pointing out the fallacy of your argument. That’s not using RomneyBot tactics, it’s stating my case. If you cannot handle it, then perhaps you wear your feelings too high up on your sleeves, my friend.
I will restate, because you obviously are whining too much to focus. I said that Bachmann had no chance whether or not Perry entered the race.
Oh, and I love making Cain supporters cry as much as Herman himself enjoys joking about electrocuting Mexicans.
By the way, how is that remark going to sit with the Hispanic majority minority? Won’t they defeat you (us) for having no heart?
If you invite illegal aliens (as Texas has done) it’s only right that you give them jobs.
