“Look I like Herman Cain but he only has experience in the business/financial area. A president needs to be more diverse than that. Foreign policy, dealing with congress.. Now if he became someones VP he would be a great adviser and truly qualified to be president would be ready after her term was up.”

That's why the president has a cabinet and advisors. Ever hear of the Sec. of State, or the NSA?

Sorry, but we've seen where this conventional wisdom that the candidate "must have this experieince...yada...yada" has gotten us.

A good executive like Herman Cain will hire the right people to help him. I’m so excited for this race!

Sorry, but we've seen where this conventional wisdom that the candidate "must have this experieince...yada...yada" has gotten us.

It has gotten us the fiasco of the Obama Presidency when that "conventional wisdom" was ignored.

The American voters were reckless enough to ignore that "conventional wisdom" once but the American voters, especially in these very troubling times and after the Obama's first term, are not about to be that reckless two Presidential elections in a row. At least Obama will now be able to claim four years of experience instead of ZERO experience.

If Cain is on the ticket, he would have to be in the VP slot so that, at least, it could be claimed that, if elected, he would getting OJT as the second string quaterback in the first elected office he has ever won in his life.
