Cain is a smart guy there is no question about it but he’s not very likely to win. I don’t know what his poll numbers are but probably near what Newts are, another really smart guy but neihter one will win.

He is probably my first choice but by the time the Tennessee primary rolls around, the issue will likely be decided for someone else.
He does have a purpose however. By raising the issue of tax change he makes the points and takes the spear wounds that the leaders don’t need to suffer. The same is true of Newt. He can raise issues and make points needed to be made and thus supplement the leaders.
