I’m sick of establishment. I want nothing to do with those jerks. Anything that’s got “establishment” written on it is a “hold your nose” vote at best.

I’ve never felt so passionately AGAINST the establishment! They need to be booted out, FAST!
It's reality, whether you're sick of it or not. Welcome to politics. If Cain were to get the nomination--pretty unlikely in my estimation--he'll need someone on the ticket to provide balance to his lack of political experience. More likely is that Cain has a pretty good showing but can't cross the finish line and, possibly, he gets picked up as a Vice Presidential candidate. But even that has its own problems.
The fact that the GOP field is in such disarray is certainly a boon to Cain, but there is a place for two non-establishment people to run for President and Vice President. Third party tickets.
One more thing: it's pretty clear that Obama has been crippled by his lack of political experience. There is no question that Obama is very liberal, but he has shown himself to be over his head in terms of politics. In fact, because of that, liberals are pretty unhappy with the guy right now.
Query: do we want the conservative version of Obama? That is, someone who is unquestionably conservative but simply doesn't understand how the politics work? Or would we rather have the conservative version of Bill Clinton, who, while maybe not an orthodox, knew how to get things done?
