I take offense to the last point in the article that Cain's lack of knowledge doomed his candidacy. What we need in public office today are many more citizen patriots and not corrupt career politicians. Patriots who serve a term or two and then go back to the private world and make a living. The Country is fed up with career politicians who hold office their entire life and act as though they have it coming to them like Mitt Romney. Some gripe about Cain's lack of knowledge, but I will take someone with patriotism over someone who is a know it all politician like Newt any day. As Cain said, if you surround yourself with like minded, knowledgeable advisers, you can overcome lack of knowledge on a particular topic. So we have to make up our minds whether we want more of the same or someone that is outside the status quo.
One may not like everything about NEWT, but one must appreciate his knowledge in getting things done. We have no time for on the job training.
If the times were not so fractured, I would consider most any candidate, Obama has left me no choice. Newt is my candidate.
I had considered Cain in the past, and thought perhaps VP for Newt, I am sure Newt has his stradegy mapped out on the VP issue and I will trust in that.
