You've seen it. Lots of emotional euphoria over Cain's 999 tax plan around FR right now. Just not much objective analysis.
I miss the good ol' days when liberals were the emotional ones and conservatives were the rational ones.
All it takes to be the favorite FR candidate now is:
1.) Plenty of Red Meat sloganeering.
2.) Travel around the country hawking books.
3.) No attention whatsoever to the boring logistics of building a war chest to actually win the coming serious campaign.
4.) As long as the Red Meat sloganeering keeps coming, not even flat out support of Mitt Romney is noticed.
