The Wash Post citing GOP consultants - the kind that picked out John McCain and Bob Dole - as experts?
Lets see Cain has:
Advised the ultra conservative Dole/Kemp campaign's losing effort.
He's been a lobbyist in the 90's in D.C.
He's ran for the Senate and lost.
He's ran for President and lost (endorsed Romney)
He's running for President a second time.
None of these points are reasons not to support Cain. They are simply posted to show Cain is not an outsider. Perry is the real outsider. Bottom line.
