I give him a lot of credit. He’s done something most wouldn’t even presume to undertake. I like him a lot but there’s something not there. He has executive acumen, just not political acumen. These things are parallel but not the same. Not even remotely.
I think Cain is probably as surprised as everyone else that he is leading in the polls. My take is that he got in for the fun of it, sell a few books and to make a (national) name for himself. Now he finds himself as target number one for the left and the RINO right. I am willing to admit I might be wrong, we should know soon how serious Herman Cain really is. He got a scandal to deal with and then there are the debates with Newt. Herman has his work cut out for him.
