While I generally think we have some of the very best in the nation, I am getting extremely annoyed with the conservative Talk Radio heads here in Milwaukee....(Belling, Sykes, Weber, and even Vickie McKenna) all of whom are referring to Herman Cain with sneering, "just an unqualified pizza guy who runs crazy commercials" "no campaign organization...just interested in going on a book tour" sort of comments. They totally dismiss him out of hand, and I now turn them off as soon as the subject comes up.

The champions of Ron Johnson, who knows more about the Senate than the rest of the 99 professional politician dolts put together can't see what a disservice they are doing in their "Romney is inevitable unless we all back Perry because there's nobody else" defeatism.

What you said! I listen carefully to the various conservative pundits, and as soon as they diss Cain, off they go. It’s more than just not wanting to hear it. I just don’t have any time or interest in those who advance the Ruling Class line. Heaven forbid we should get a guy in DC who would shake up business as usual. It’s scaring the old boys/corruptocrats witless. I hope and pray Cain wins the primary. He will kick the snot out of Little Barry in the first debate, and run the tables in the general.

Here in Texas he gets respect from radio hosts.

I've never listened to Belling, Sykes, etc, but I agree with their analysis. Sorry, Cain is a good guy who I think has absolutely zero chance to win a national election. Too much of a political novice, too much of a gaffe machine, too likely to blow up his own campaign by saying stupid stuff because he is not polished enough to know how to deflect and otherwise avoid answering questions or making statements that will play horribly in the media (which would result in endless distracting controversy and knock him off message constantly). He'd get the solid conservative vote and that is about it - which is just not enough to win a national election. If we could just appoint a President, Cain might be just the guy for the job - but I don't think he can win a presidential election. The reality is Perry is in fact probably the only person that really stands between Romney the chameleon and the GOP nomination.

I’m surprised to hear that out of your talk radio lineup.

What they are stuck on is the old playbook.

They are saying Cain is “doing it wrong” because he’s “not doing it the way it’s always been done.”

If they don’t think Cain should president, I have no problem with that. They should state that directly and give their reasons.

But it’s just dumb and poor reasoning to say Cain “won’t” be president or shouldn’t be president because he’s not using the traditional party apparatus to go about his business of campaigning.
