Oh, no. Looks like the Washington Post has put the Reagan curse on Herman Cain. In the lead story in the Post's Friday electronic edition, Post reporter Sandhya Somashekhar characterizes Cain's positions as "simple." For the smart set - those sophisticates who see nothing but gradations of gray - simple just means "simplistic." How many times was the great Ronald Reagan pasted with the "simple" label by liberal and Republican establishment detractors?
Now it's Cain's turn to be Reagan-simple. That should buck up Cain considerably. The Washington Post and New York Times don't give front-page, lead story billing to candidates who they think are marginal. So simple Herman Cain must be registering with the big complex brains at the Post more than his current good polling suggests.
Somashekhar opines - err, reports:
"And that has prompted questions about what else he stands for and whether he has the breadth of knowledge -- particularly on foreign policy -- expected of an occupant of the White House."
Now who was Somashekhar referring to, Reagan or Cain? It seems the smart set has a penchant for regurgitating tired old arguments.
But in Somashekhar's very next paragraph, readers get to the heart of what makes Cain - and Reagan before him - a simpleton.

Wow, we’ve got journalism majors calling a man with an undergraduate degree in math and a master’s in computer science “simple”.
Journalism is so hard, as we all know.

*sigh*...in losing that Federal $pending teat / nipple....
Mr. Cain gave a great speech and we had a huge crowd. I was so glad to see a lot of Blacks there.
The only thing simple about Mr. Cain is his message “Keep it Simple Stupid”.
