I guess it means that the republicans in Florida think Perry sucks.

<This weeks popular GOP loon bag> for president! Don't mind <last weeks GOP loon bag> didn't make it.

<This weeks GOP loon bag> all the way!

Never mind Cain has never held a political office, ever. Even Palin has more experience then he does and she didn't even make it one term as governor.

I don't see why people who hate the fed like him, as he chaired the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank at one time.

Then commodity speculating at Aquila, where he settled out of court for $10.5 million for utilizing the employees pension funds to do it. Classy guy.

I hope he makes it, he would be amusing to watch circle down in flames and crash during a real election.

Thay have to. If Cain were to win the nomination the left would not have the race card in the deck.

Right?
Isn't he just what conservatives are saying Obama is? Yet another rhetorically strong black guy (or so it seems) without much leadership experience? I mean, Washington and politics in general do not work like a fast food business

Still, I think he might well become the Republican candidate. He won the straw poll with quite a margin. And let's be honest, looks play a big role today thanks to TV and other media. Most of the other candidates look old, worn-out, slimy, physically weak or weird, appear cold, have unpleasant voices, or are otherwise not appealing to at least a considerable part of the population...

Agreed. And unlike Obama, Cain has never been elected to any office whatsoever. He couldn't even win the senatorial primary in Georgia. He has no real idea how government works. He'll find out it's much different than running a pizza parlor chain.

Cain would be ok to put on the ticket as VP for some symbolic reason, but he would be a net zero asset when it comes to actually governing.

He's a little cheeky, too, if you ask me. Never held elective office and he wants to be pres? Try for state senator, Mr. Cain. You might learn it's not so easy as it looks.
