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.
Cain has not declined at all, he’s doing fine.
He is the sole qualified candidate, since, as you stated, someone got to Palin.
Ginrich and Romney are vomit. So is Perry the cheerleader.
Have the greatest respect for Palin. The media viciously attacked her and her family. They even hacked her email. Sarah drew massive crowds as she travelled throughout the US and spoke to Tea Party Rallys, etc. I wanted DeMint or West of Fla. LTC knows foreign policy! However, we have to select from the slate we are offered...I have watched every debate and concluded that Newt is the best man for the job. ANYONE that gets the gop nomination will have my support. I don’t like Cain’s 999 or 909 or enterprise/empowerment zone policy but Newt shares his view on Detroit and Newt limits it to 10 yrs.
