RE :”This is exactly the problem we face with a candidate who has made his campaign foundation 999. Americans are mathematically challenged and do not hear nor understand the reasons behind conservative economics. They don’t even know what the constitution says and means anymore.
Cain’s 999 plan will easily be turned against Cain by Obama’s caculators. It is too complicated to argue in the typical campaign sound bites.”

I cant argue with that given Republicans record on messaging. They are no Walter Williams.

But right now looking at the field of duds Cain looks the most interesting and most 'real' and genuine to me.

And I would make a heretical point : Personally I would rather have someone real like Cain go against Obama and lose(if it comes to that ) , then be a part of putting a slimy RINO phony like Romney in the WH on lies and BS. Few believed McCain's flip-flops.

I think he is looking better than the other candidates only because he has no governing track record to compare to the others.

What he is showing us here in basing his campaign on 999, is that he’s not ready for prime time in my opinion and he’ll lose to Obama in a general election.

In addition, I would not support giving Washington a new pot of money - a consumption tax. A flat income and flat corporate tax would be supeiror to that in my opinion, but either way, you don’t run a successful Presidential campaign on math equation sound bites.
