Herman Cain has many great things to say, and I'd love for him to be heard on a main stage, like an election debate against Obama...

but he is not a very good candidate for the actual nomination.
1. In 2006, he was diagnosed with Stage IV liver and colon cancer. While a VP (like Cheney) might be able to have serious health issues in his recent past, I don't think that the Undecideds will go for it in a Presidential candidate.
2. He is an "extremist" on abortion... and this is not a smear. His stated position is none, ever... including rape and incest. Again, the 40% of voters who are not devoted to a 'D' or 'R' vote (you know, the ones who actually decide these elections) will be greatly turned off by that, and the MSM will have a FACTUAL basis for their usual "too far-Right" mischaracterizations.
3. He has zero experience... even less than Obama did. He got 25% of the vote in a 3-way GOP nomination race for Zell Miller's old Senate seat, almost a decade ago. That is the sum total of his political experience. You don't go from losing your only HS game to being the starting QB in the Super Bowl.

He has a great mind, and great words, and many great ideas... but he would not be likely to win either the nomination or the Presidency.

I do have concerns about Mr.Cain's connections to the Fed and that he does not feel an audit of the Fed is necessary.

I do know that Congressman Allen West wants to remain in Congress at this time, but find it interesting that many think Allen is ready to serve as VP instead of President.

If I had the choice between Herman Cain or Allen West, I would choose Allen West as our Commander in Chief in a heartbeat!
