I think that Cain and Pawlenty are the only ones that are both conservative and strong general-election candidates.
Compared to some of the nonstarters on this list (Mittens, Hucky, Ron Paul) he looks “not bad”. Being an ex-governor is a plus as well. Can “not bad” win the whole thing next year? I don't know.
Herman Cain is an interesting man. I like him a lot, but I agree with what others have posted, no way in hell does the nomination go to a person who have never won a single election. VP? Ehhh...maybe? Treasury Sec. or Fed Reserve Chair? YES!
Thoughts?
