Cain needs vetting - I like him a lot but fear he will have to become more introspective - some solutions that sound great when hosting a radio show (”electric fence”) need amelioration. I want to see him realize that he is going to have to lead America, wrassle with an unruly democratic process, and make Congress behave better than it wants to. Guard the damn border, yes. Set up a human bug zapper? No.

I agree. I like Mr. Cain, a lot. I like his personal story. I ALWAYS like people that take life as they find it and work hard to succeed.

That said....I want him vetted thoroughly. I don't want the Tea Party to give him even the slightest pass for his race...just as I don't want anybody using race AGAINST him as the Left seems to do ALL THE TIME.

I will say, he made me pull back in full support when he had that conversation with Wallace—about the right of return. Big red flag for me. I think Mr. Cain is the right man for the job re: the American economy—but world events are complex and frightening. That “I” knew more about the most sensitive issue in the middle east than he did (at that moment)....well...He's got to REALLY impress me in the next debates on this topic and all national security issues.

Any of the republicans running would be a relief after the Golden Child. I'll wait until all the debates are held and see who is left standing. I hope it's Cain, ‘cause, like I said, I admire his personal story. But that is not the reason to vote for the POTUS.
