"So far Herman Cain has impressed so far but we could always use more."

We've been a country under the articles of confederation and then the constitution for over 200 years. In all that time, we have NEVER elected someone to the presidency that didn't have any elected and/or flag officer government experience. Do you think next year will be different for some reason?

We never elected a women either, before Obama we never elected an African American and before Reagan we never elected an actor, before Kennedy never a Catholic etc, etc

Every election is different

Well, in Cain’s case, it’s not for lack of trying. He’s a good man, but I don’t think running someone who couldn’t even win a primary in his own state a good candidate against 0bama. Presidency is not a place to gain experience for public service.
