Why can’t he win? I am tired of hearing people say this when he wins straw poll after straw poll and placed 3rd in Zogby. He is a top tier candidate who can win.
Why can’t he win?Because the ELECTORATE (not the gabble-group here in FR but the actual ELECTORATE) is going to demand political experience.
I know, I know, blah, blah, blah, experienced pols got us into this mess, blah, blah, blah... I've been here 10 years. I know everything you're going to say about "experience".
But the fact is, the ELECTORATE bet on an inexperienced candidate last time... and they're not going to do it this time.
I know, I know, I know, Obama and Cain are 180 degrees apart on everything... I've been here 10 years, I know everything you're going to say about the difference between Obama and Cain. And I agree with you 100%.
But the ELECTORATE is not going to want a second experiment with inexperience... even if this time he's one of the good guys.
That's just the way I see it.
