I have great respect for Mr. Cain's accomplishments. However, national and international politics are a whole different ball of wax than managing one or two companies.
Cain is a good speaker, but I want someone who knows the magnitude of the job. I believe that when Perry speaks (even haltingly), he realizes what a crossroads in history we are at. You can see in his face that he understands the depth of the responsibility of the Presidency.
Perry's not chanting slogans, cracking jokes, or standing before the crowd with a smile plastered on is face. The only thing I've heard him say that is even close to a slogan is that if we don't get America working again, we are done. Nothing else matters.
Cain has a bus, a train, that 999 slogan, and the cadence of a preacher. That apparently has impressed enough people to put him in the lead. Heck, Obama won on Bob the Builder's slogan of "Yes we can!" I'm not falling for "Yes, we Cain." I want the man who has experience in government. Who has dealt with various departments, agencies, and lawmakers. At this point, we can't afford to have an apprentice for President. We need someone that has experience.
Regardless, if people agree with every issue, Perry is the conservative candidate that wants to serve this country. He knows he can do the job required of him.
Excellent post.
