If Cain doesnt know much about Chinas nuclear capabilities, and it is entirely possible that he doesnt, my answer is So what?
______________________________________
Sorry but there is a difference between not knowing much and not knowing anything about the nuclear capabilities of our probable number one opponent for trhe remainder of this century. While one would not expect him to know the President of every back-water country it is unsettling that he sees China as trying to acquire the nuclear capability that they have had for almost fifty years. That kind of stuff will get him chewed up in a general election debate.

As a liberal, Katie would hate Palin. As a liberal woman, Katie would really, really hate Palin.
And, as Palin was from Alaska, Katie would hate Alaska and all who lived there.
If there was more to it than that, I've no idea what it might've been.

The phrase nuclear capability, applied to a nation, refers to its militarys possession of nuclear weapons. Apart from the extreme nitpicking going on there who decided the above laughable criterion? Nuclear powered ships aren't considered a part of a country's 'nuclear capability?'

“...Tim Tebow will be available in January”
Of what year ???? It would have to be January of 2024, the first election after he turns 35, and he was born in the Philippines. Otherwise, GREAT idea !!

Apparently, you stopped reading too soon:
"However, tonight on Fox News, Cains chief of staff, Mark Block, explained that Cain was, in an inelegant formulation, referring to the nuclear capability China is getting for their submarines and aircraft carriers. But this clarification doesnt do much to help Cain: China launched its first nuclear submarine, part of the Han-class of attack boats, in 1974. In 2004, it launched its class of nuclear-powered ballistic-missile subs, which are capable of launching the strategic nuclear weapons China already had.
Moreover, Cain erred in saying that China is developing more carriers like we have: The Chinese navy currently has no carriers, except for an essentially unarmed rusting hulk, the Varyag, purchased from Russia and now on sea trials for training purposes. China is starting to develop aircraft carriers, but, at first, they will be conventionally powered, not nuclear, ships. This is according to the Chinese themselves: They are planning to build two 5060,000-ton mid-sized aircraft carriers, similar to the Queen Elizabethclass carriers that the United Kingdom is currently developing, with nuclear- powered ships possibly to come later. Nuclear aircraft carriers would, unlike the production of more nuclear submarines (on which the intelligence remains murky), be a big step for China toward a blue-water navy, meaning one with an independent global range. A nuclear-powered Chinese carrier would be extremely worrisome, but it is not a near-term possibility for China, the rest of whose navy is nowhere near blue-water capability."

That was the nitpicking I was referring to. The funny thing is it essentially contradicts itself on nearly every point.

Cain wandered around on the China nuclear thing and gave an opening to the he doesnt even know... about China. Only to you Perry trolls.
Read the original post here and get up to speed.
Cheers!

If Cain isnt nominated Im writing in Tebow! Cute idea, but in the two party system we are stuck with, any failure to vote for the Republican nominee (including in favor of writing for a legitimate third party candidate) is essentially a vote for Barak Obama.

If foreign policy experience is important, I hope all of you voted for Gore in 2000 over Bush!

Herman Cain is sort of the republican version of Barack Obama, in the sense that everyone thinks he's kind of cute and gives him a pass when he fumbles the ball on an issue. We have to use big padded gloves on him. "Hell, he's never been a politician, man. Cut him some slack, he'll learn."
I don't buy into that garbage with either Obama or Cain. We elected an inexperienced rookie in 2008 and we're about to do it again? Two back-to-back guys with virtually no experience in government? One, a community organizer and professor (with minimal junior Senator credentials,) and another who led up a bunch of fast food companies that employed predominantly uneducated minimum wage workers.
I think Americans are dumber than hell. That's what I believe.
