If Herman Cain feels his management skills are up to any challenge, some of his former staff members think he should have started with the disorder in his own campaign.
Mr. Cain has hardly shown up in New Hampshire and Iowa, they said, spending the bulk of his time on a book tour through the South. He occasionally mishandled potential big donors or ignored real voters. His campaign churned through the small staff; last week, his campaign announced the appointment of the veteran campaigner Steve Grubbs, his third Iowa leader in four months.
Even bumper stickers have been hard to come by.
And then there was that e-mail to the staff about traveling in a car with Mr. Cain: Do not speak to him unless you are spoken to, the memo said.
I found it odd, said a former staff member who liked to prep Mr. Cain for appearances while driving. The aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, quit not long afterward, citing the e-mail as one of the deciding factors.
Mr. Cains campaign has generated much promise since it began over the summer. A former business executive rises improbably from anonymity to the top of the polls, using the strength of his speechmaking, folksy charm and catchy policy plans.
But Mr. Cains campaign may have undermined itself with questionable decisions and a series of missteps, which have led to the impression that the candidate lacks focus and preparation.
Mr. Cain has made several contradictory, and sometimes befuddling, remarks on abortion and foreign policy, which have forced him to spend days clarifying and defending himself.

Troll jerky is tough and stringy, but the kittehs still like it.
Guess you did not bother to actually READ the article did you?
Since the computer revolution, when an employee can get any strategic goals of the company on line and when any executive can get any sales or other data at the click of a mouse, managers who transmit information have become BOTTLENECKS. Business itself knew they were a problem in the 1990s and shed hundreds of thousands of managers, but never really could explain why except they were "not productive." Well, this is why: they obstruct the flow of information and computers are quicker.
I return a few hours later and there's a bunch of deleted posts and you've gotten zotted after pissing off a whole lot of FReepers. A high quality troll would know to wait until the evening to commit FReepercide so I can at least see the stupid, vulgar and insipid posts that got you banned, and maybe even bait you some before the hammer falls. But no, you just had to be selfish and go for the quick fry. Just because you're a moron doesn't mean you have to be rude.

This often happens during political campaigns. Usually because of a lack of money. Party members who don’t believe in social issues and support a given candidate (Romney) opposed to Cain will be using this to advance their guy..
Charlie Sykes a conservative talk show host at Milwaukee’s WTMJ am 620 8:30 till noon daily slot has spent the second day going after Glock, Cain’s chief of staff as arrogant and inept.
When opening up on Glock yesterday ( Wednesday 10/26/11) Sykes claims the ad depicting Glock smoking a cigarette was pure ego and the focus would be on Glock. Sykes is the kind of guy who doesn’t see smoking bans as a goverment intrusion.
Now Sykes was very helpfull in uncovering the shenanigans of the WDPO (Wisconsin Democratic Party Operatives) and to a great extent highly influential when Wisconsin voters went to the polls and threw out the democrats state wide..
But Sykes is a middle of the road eliteist. A kind of Repbulican Blue Blood. He may claim he isn’t but he is.
When the subject of Deleware’s O’Donnell or the Nevada US senator races comes up he will decry the conservative position those two candidates took..But will never bring up the disasters in California where most of those statewide candidates took middle of the road positions and sunk like lead baloons .
While not openly endorsing Romney he was almost a loss for words when Romney refused to reply to the Ohio union question raised by a reporter. Needless that lack of support went as they say viral. In fact his reaction was amusing to those who loyally follow him but have a pretty good idea where he’s comming from.
