In a way, you are making a point for me. The business of America is business, and the CEO of America should be a business man. Our problem is that we are hiring professional politicians and lawyers and professors to be our country’s CEO or our country’s board of directors (congress etc) and thus a professional politician is exactly NOT familiar with the “core business” of the country.
I think this is a huge paradigm that most voters have missed for decades, and I think some are now waking up to that entire paradigm whiff that we have collectively made.
Now, it’s real easy to predict Cain won’t be elected because mathematically the numbers are on your side. One reason is a lot of folks will continue to think inside the box - which of course may become a self fulfilling prophecy.
As to whether he’s demonstrated the necessary skill set - the jury is still out on that. That’s what a campaign is for. He likely will get a chance to demonstrate a new skill: how to handle being top tier.
I am not shooting the messenger, but I will shoot holes through the message where I see them.
Hey, that's fine by me. We're not exactly in opposite trenches C. Edmund. I've said I like Herman Cain's positions, for the most part. And I agree the campaign ahead will teach us all a lot about the man's skill sets. I'm thinking about setting up a popcorn concession.

I agree with you about the paradigm, I just don't think enough are willing to shift theirs. I have to keep stressing I'm only being a messenger here about Cain's prospects. I'd likely vote for him if he's still around for AZ. Unless we get Sarah. Heh.

And I always have plenty of holes to shoot through. That's OK. I'm usually pretty off the cuff, straight from the hip around FR. I've been called (mostly by me) an "unserious poster." The truth is, I don't spend multiple paragraphs and pages to flesh out every aspect of things I say. If I did (on this subject) you would not be shooting at either me or my holes.
