So, you believe a President can act alone on abolishing Cabinets and the EPA, and accomplish it speedily (as in within a 4 yr term where this is not his only responsibility)?

Unlike the false dilemma arguments of many Cainiacs on this site, my doubts about the realism of this type of comment does not infer I want a beltway insider as a potus

But I do wish people would temper their enthusiasm for this relative unknown man with realism about his role and responsibilities as a US president.

The structure of the US government is not the same as Godfather's pizza and it never will be. Period. Like it or not.

Cain would not have management flexibility and control to abolish cabinets and the EPA without the virtual neutralization the RINO elites and the entire democrat party and probbaly the help of the USSC to boot.

I have NO hopes this will happen because the rot in the soft underbelly of the GOP (McConnell, Boehner and many of our other entrenched RINOs) will take a generation to undo....if ever.

A guy like Perry was probably our best hope to take on the establishment. That is why they pushed on the emotion buttons of conservatives to destroy him on immigration, over policies any GOP president is going to accept, anyway. Newt Gingrich? Look who stumped with Kennedy over social issues. Newt got the catholoic religion along with the social guilt complex.

So with Cain conservatives are going to waste a whole lot of energy and political capital on a guy who already admitted he'd take VP to a RINO taxachusetts wanker like Mittens.

Not that Mittens needs a VP with business experience, since since that is about the only claim Mittens has on why he would do a better job than obama.

Mittens doesn't need Cain. He needs an acceptable #2 conservative with foreign policy and military experience to balance his domestic credentials and Cain's job as a military shoe clerk (ie, analyst) doesn't quite stretch into someone who can out-bluff Putin and China, and build meaningful alliances against a nuclear Iran and North Korea. But... a black VP "might" be useful once the MEdia starts reporting the quotes of the Founders of the Mormon religion on race. Which will be an hour after Mittens is nominated.

Sorry to rain on your parade. I was not a complete Palin fan but in retrospect I would have trusted her judgment during crises and her executive abilities much more than Cains.

Mittens?

Mittens will never generate the enthusiasm and create the momentum needed to beat Obama. He might make a decent president (or not) but he is too dull too draw the crowds of voters needed to win.

Mittens is warmed-over meatloaf that couldn't even beat McCain.

BTW, I was a Perry supporter (even donated) until his recent poor performance in debate. He had his shot at building the big MO and blew it.

I think he would make a pretty good president, but he lost his audience and cannot get elected (that is, unless something miraculous happens).

I am not necessarily a Cainiac, but he does seem to be building the kind of excitement needed (his Values Voters speech was what turned the tide for me). Furthermore, I like Cain's straight talk (he's already called Obama a "liar"). That alone is devastating to a, well, congenital liar like Obama.

I sure hope he doesn't blow it...because Mitt just doesn't make folks want to march to the polls singing his praises.
