I’m a Cain supporter but I’m also a realist.

He has a long, long way to go before he’s Reagan. At this point, he’s simply being himself, enjoying the ride and putting forth a good message. He’s off to a good start but it’s a long road and it’s got a lot of land mines to avoid.

I'm a realist too so I'm having trouble with the 999 plan. I like it. But it's a gimmick because we know it'll never pass congress or be deemed constitutional. The federal sales tax component is the problem. Further any honest assessment of Cains recent comments concerning abortion and you'll see he's really pro-choice.

I too am a Cain supporter, without any notion of him ever being Ronald Reagan (esk). Time to get rid of that thought, true Reagan was great, but we need Cain to be himself, never falsify, or pretend to be anyone other than himself.

Avoidance strategies are like “prevent defense” in football. Kills momentum every time. And in my unscientific opinion ultimately loses more games than it wins. Cain is and should be attacking. It is the only way to win in politics.

I don’t have much time for people who expend more energy figuring out what they don’t want to say than they do what they want to say. Offense is always the best defense.

When you have your opponent on the ropes keep beating him until he falls unconscious to the mat or the referee stops the fight. Your opponent may get off some weak shots while being battered, but as long as you retain the initiative you will win.

It’s amazing to me that the Empire State building was erected in something like 8 months. 9-ll occured over ten years ago and the former World Trade Center site is still not much more than a hole in the ground. Why? Because we have become a society obsessed with negative thinking. We are more concerned with what we can’t do than what we can do. This is not what makes great people and nations.
