Cain scares the established political leadership because they haven’t been able to co-opt him.
They have read his words , but don’t understand (or want to understand) his message.
They want one of thier own hand-picked candidates, who will follow the same BS line of the last eight -twelve years.
Expect to see more bogus allegations of bigot , racism , defeatism from the liberal mainstream media .
Did you ever notice Cain reading from teleprompter ? No ! And you won’t because it comes from the heart, and his very foundation; it’s called “commitment to principles “ something that the political leadership understands , but is fearful that it can’t control .
I would only add, as background to the FL Straw Poll, that FL republicans last year nominated a CEO businessman and business founder Rick Scott over establishment republican Bill McCollum, of Clinton impeachment fame, for the governorship. He won.
If FL is an example, the time and mood of the country may be right for a non politician to become President.
