>Imagine if voters said that about GWB for Governor in TX...Reagan for Governor in CA...look at Gov Craig Benson in NH...this is how we renew ourselves...let's take the 1996 Pres election as a perfect example of promoting the deserving insider...Bob Dole. Enough said?<

I agree but I am not sure either Reagan or Bush are analogies for Cain.

Reagan:Had political experience.(Screen actors gild President)He ran for office several times before he was elected.He had specific proposals for California not just selling a philosophy.

Bush:was a policy adviser to his dad's first campaign.Had been involved with issues and campaigns since his National Guard days.Like Reagan he had specific proposals (no child left behind)

Got to tell ya, Blessed, I briefed Herman Cain for over two hours on the subject of judicial nominations earlier this year. I have briefed many a Senator and many a candidate and without exception, Mr. Cain asked the most thoughtful questions. Most refreshing of all -- once he had a handle on the minutia of details in this issue, he asked the most salient question.....what is the solution, then?

And the briefing then dove into the "problem solving" aspects of the issue.

I was extremely impressed. Not only that he took the time to seek me out to discuss the issue, but that he had clearly done his homework before our discussion and asked relevant questions and wanted to solve the problem.

That would be a breath of fresh air in the Senate Republican Caucus, let me assure you.
