As others have pointed out, 9-9-9 is an idea, it's a starting point. No president gets everything he wants or campaigns on. It takes a lot of legislation to get ideas passed (look at the Jobs Bill — Obama can spout about it all day long, but it isn't going to pass). So if 9-9-9 doesn't end up passing muster, then it won't pass. But maybe 9-12-0 does pass muster. Who knows.

It will take time and analysis to get any new plan vetted and passed. The point is Cain is thinking outside the box, outside the establishment norms, and that's a good thing, given the state of our economy and our nation.

Let's let this play out and see where it goes. Don't write Cain off just because you don't like 9-9-9. I don't like certain things about every candidate. But I doubt any of us will every have the perfect candidate. So we have to choose the one with the greatest potential for leadership, values, character, sound principals, and definitely the ability and intent to surround him/herself with world-class advisers.

Time will bring the cream of the crop to the top.

Sober, sensible and sane for Cain;)

Cain was a big supporter of TARP. I won't scratch him off because of it, but I am less confident in his conservative credentials than many on here.

Let’s let this play out and see where it goes. Don’t write Cain off just because you don’t like 9-9-9.

Excellent point, Bag. I don’t like to see people wetting their pants over Cain’s proposal. Cain has too many good qualities as a candidate to disqualify him on something that
is very likely not to pass anyway. I think all these people who don’t like Cain’s proposal are the same ones who would divorce their spouse because they had some food stuck on their front tooth.
