No insider is qualified to be president.

Only Cain is qualified out of the current crop of swindlers.

My perfect candidate is Sarah Palin, a once in a lifetime candidate that is not to be. So scratching through the list of those available, we are now down to two: Romney and Gingrich - so the choice is easy.

As much as I personally like Cain, he is not qualified to be president. He is plain spoken, direct, engaging and charming. Those are wonderful qualities to have and even better to have them in a presidential candidate. However, he is way out of his league. Answering almost every question with 9-9-9 even to the point of bringing laughter from the audience (not in mockery) gives one pause. Deferring to Gingrich so Gingrich could answer questions directed to Cain first when they had their one on one debate is also very telling. I want an outsider, but a qualified outsider and Cain isn't it.

I think Cain's decline in the polls is not just due to the bimbos, but I think people are looking at him more seriously and finding him wanting.

Last, I am not at all interested in a national sales tax. It leaves me cold.

“No Federal Sales Tax - No Way”

Seems to me like 9-9-9 is precisely that.

Aren’t you inconsistent?

Well he’s not going to win the nomination now so forget about it. I deal in reality.
