Cain is doubling down on a convoluted plan that most voters don’t understand. He must be channeling Rube Goldberg. He’s hurting himself. He needs to soft-pedal 999 and move on to something else or he’ll wind up a single issue candidate.

If you and your cadre really thought he was crashing and burning on this, you wouldn't be saying a word.

9-9-9 needs to be explained, in depth, with examples of past successes with a plan that reduces taxes but places a federal sales tax (hmmmmmm) and how it all works. Can’t rely on local talk radio.

Cain could have put the nomination away, when the New Hampshire audience was asked "who wanted a 9% sales tax" the audience was silent. Cain should have asked the audience: "who wanted a top 9% Federal Income Tax"? The place would have erupted.

And if we nominate Cain, WE, as a Party, will have to live or die by 9-9-9.

If the Dem/Media Complex can paint 9-9-9 as Voodoo Economics or some such and it catches on, (think Letterman Leno Stewart SNL etc) then WE ARE SCREWED.

Cain has no Govt track record or experience, No Foreign Policy experience, or even KNOWLEDGE, nothing to run on except 9-9-9.

Are we really so bankrupt as a Party that we want to go all in on a Political Newbie with an economic Rube Goldberg scheme?
