I don’t have a problem with Cain specifically - I have a major problem with these flavors of the month. Every month , or even weeks, everybody jump on a new wagon. After they are vetted, pouff...they go down in flame. I would love to see some restraint and cold analysis (we have time)of ALL candidates, and see who had the experience and the record to prove it to run America at the stage she is now - bad - our last chance so we have to make it right in 2012. I certainly don’t think it is Cain. Total lack of executive (gov) experience - no knowledge or wrong one of any foreign policy, Israel or Afghanistan and so on .... after obama, we absolutely need someone strong, vetted and experienced. And yes you guessed it, I am a Sarah voter.
Somewhere around 20% of our nations Presidents never held elected office before becoming president. I am not cofident in ANYONE knowing all they need to about foreign policy, and I only have seen one person say “I don’t know, I’ll find out and get back to you.” We don’t need more politicians, especially establishment ones.
With regards to Mrs. Palin, just let me know when Sarah Palin gets into the race. If it’s as a Republican, she has only a few weeks (I believe the first filing deadline is THIS month for one or two states). Until then, she’s not a candidate. After that, we can see how she fairs in the field, which may or not be favorably (for a variety of factors, including open primaries). As far as I’m concerned there’s a long, long way to go (ideologically) before I’m willing to support a single candidate (the herd will have to be thinned first). The field is still wide open, but only for the limited time remaining.
