I think people feel that Herman is sincere and trustworthy. Something that has been lost in politics for a long, long time.

Personally I feel the best combination is Newt/Herman. Sure Newt has baggage but don’t they all? Newt’s been around long enough to handle the politics and Herman would be a whiz at economics.

I would swap the two (Cain/Newt). The top of the ticket should be the one who can relate the biggest, brightest vision for America directly to the people, and that is Cain.

Newt definitely brings the necessary "gravitas" (forgive my use of an overused word) in the political arena, but I don't believe he has the personality to capture the attention of the nation. As we saw in '08, if the top of the ticket does not have appeal, having that appeal in the VP slot is just not enough for a win.

Newt/Herman should be CAIN/NEWT

Gingrich inspired people in his day; but America needs a new voice, a new vision to rally the troops.

CAIN IS FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS.

Cain has a very strong Independent and Conservative following. He is even snagging some moderate Democrats (if such a thing exists - I guess they used to be called blue dog).

I don’t see Newt being able to pull in votes from all those groups, we need the independent vote.

" I think people feel that Herman is sincere and trustworthy. Something that has been lost in politics for a long, long time. " ....

but, but, but, we are told he's not experienced... sarcasm....

The last time I looked, the US Constitution only requirements are, he must be of 35 years of age, and a Natural born citizen.
Many people are tired of this crap, and tired of crusty old politicians like Mitt Romney and Rickey Ricardo Perry.
