President SHOULDN’T be the first office you hold. I agree.
But we must work with what we got. To me Cain’s inexperience is trial compared to the negatives of Perry (or Romney).
Herman Cain's resume is a lot, lot longer than CEO of a large pizza chain. Why don't you try reading the whole story sometime instead of just what the MSM wants you to know?
In general, I agree that actual experience in public office is a plus. But there are exceptions.
Romney's resume would be a lot more impressive without that four year gig as governor of Taxachusetts.
ObaMao's resume as a street agitator would have been a lot more realistic had the public looked behind his relatively innocuous record (mostly voting present) as a U.S. Senator.
