Herman Cain led tens of thousands of people in profitable businesses for a few decades. He also completed his stints at his job - when the going got tough, he stuck it out."

Well...let's look at the old employment record, shall we? Looks to me like he resigned a coupla time himself, no?

In a leveraged buyout in 1988, Cain, Executive Vice-President and COO Ronald B. Gartlan and a group of investors, bought Godfather's from Pillsbury. Cain continued as CEO until 1996, when he resigned.

Later in 1996 he became CEO of the National Restaurant Association, a trade group and lobby organization for the restaurant industry, where he had previously been chairman concurrently with his role at Godfather's Pizza.

Cain became a member of the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in 1992 and served as its chairman from January 1995 to August 1996, when he resigned to become active in national politics.

Huh. How about that? Is he a QUITTER?

No more a quitter than Sarah Palin...;) In fact, he hung around for 8 years before leaving to move on - he lasted more than 2 years, didn’t he?

And it’s interesting that you ignored his turnaround of 400 Burger King restaurants - which he left to move UP to CEO of Godfather’s Pizza.

So, again - what leadership role has Palin filled that eclipses the leadership roles that Cain’s filled?
