Why Cain? According to our new NBC/WSJ poll, Herman Cain now leads the Republican presidential field, getting 27% among GOP primary voters -- followed by Mitt Romney at 23%, Rick Perry at 16%, and Ron Paul at 11%. But why Cain? Our NBC/WSJ co-pollsters conducted follow-up interviews with Cain supporters and found two typical answers: 1) he’s not a politician, and 2) he’s real. “Cain is a good guy and so real,” said a male respondent from New Jersey. “Cain gives direct answers. He is succinct. He isn’t a politician,” added a male respondent from Washington. “He is plain-spoken and down to Earth,” said a woman from Texas. “It is kind of appealing that he is not in politics,” noted another female from Texas. “I have to be personally honest: I rely a lot on talk-show hosts, people I listen to and respect -- and they respect him. Rush Limbaugh, listen an hour a day,” said a female from Washington.

I think Cain has the street sense to avoid Bush's disastrous errors in this regard. I think Cain has the common sense to know what we here all know full well--that the bureaucracy is the fourth and probably most powerful branch of gubbermint-- and it has been in the stranglehold of the Left for a good sixty years.

Herman Cain is surging for 2 reasons:1) He's not a politician 2) the 9-9-9 Plan I would say the 2 reasons are: 1) He's not Barak Obama 2) He's not Mitt Romney.
In my book, that's the minimum starting point to get my support. The more I have seen of Cain, the more I like him.
