His advocacy for the FairScam makes him a shaky pick, unfortunately. But since it has no chance of passing, and since the prospective GOP field is so abysmal, Cain merits consideration anyway.
I like his intelligent approach and ability to communicate his ideas. As I pointed out earlier, the media would have extreme difficulty in attacking him. He would immediately humiliate them and fight back with truth and facts. The media knows this about him also.
If the media fears anyone the most, it will be Herman Cain!
FairScam?

The problem with many of these wannabees is that, whenever they open their mouths, they lose points/votes.
Many on the GOP side are so desperate for a good candidate that, like them pushing for Thompson in 2008, they aren’t looking too closely at the individuals.
I am in a similar position to 2008 — so far, I don’t see any of the wannabees who would be ‘the excellent candidate’ for 2012. We have a bunch of old white-haired (and some black-haird) retreads. We have a bunch of Senators (100 out of 100 want to be President). We have several lackluster governors who can’t seem to keep their feet out of their mouths.
Several of the early straw polls have ‘other’ running at 80%.
Yeah, the current tax system is just wonderful, isn't it?
