He's learned to be a great CEO ~ he looks around, finds good people (mostly) to surround him, and he deduces what issues are important and sends his people out to deal with them.
Sometimes he really screws up and decides to "take care of this mysef'" ~ Gardasil and instate tuition ~ both situations where he should have had cooler heads working on the deal LONG before it went public.
He's probably learned he doesn't want to do that again ~ but if it makes him timid he'll be out as Governor before he gets a shot at running for Senate.
Cain is one of these guys who is also a good top executive. He knows the position of the guys at the bottom, in the middle, the related small business entrepreneurs, the coordinated large business interests, and so on. You get your good people. You spin off the ideas. They do the work and get things going. Other ideas come up through the ranks. You get those spun off to the right sectors to get them taken care of.
Michelle Bachmann is a little closer to the grind because her business interests are smaller, but she sounds like Perry and Cain when it comes to management.
They are all three EISENHOWER types ~
Obama is more like a young lawyer fresh out of college who didn't get picked by a major lawfirm so he's in there doing his "break in" period in the government.
You don't run a guy like that for President but the Democrats seem to prefer them. Hillary is like that too.
I can live with Perry, Cain or Bachmann. On the other hand, I hate being part of a 20% minority in the context of the Republican party.
I feel the same way. But remember, Reagan took on the Rockefeller Republicans and won. It can be done. But it is going to take a lot of support from us, the meat and potatoes crowd.
“Michelle Bachmann is a little closer to the grind because her business interests are smaller, but she sounds like Perry and Cain when it comes to management.”
If you have read ANY articles on Bachmann’s staffing issues, you’d know she is NOT a good manager. She cant run a good campaign, doesnt know how to keep right levels of authority. For that reason, she will not be the nominee.
You are correct that Perry has been underestimated wrt his executive experience. Cain, Romney and Perry will be Reagan-style delegators. Gingrich may be a bit less disciplined, he’s overflowing with ideas. He needs to learn from Steve Jobs, who had a few main projects. focus!
