Don't over-read the Florida straw poll. It consisted of a very small, highly motivated, self-selected group who paid to vote. Not quite a representative selection of Florida voters. What their vote did mean is a lack of satisfaction with the field; at this point no one has a lock on the nomination. It's still 10 months to the convention and a lot could change:
One of the "front runners" could suddenly implode (remember Guiliani in 2008?)
A strong Govenor (Christie, Balbour, Crist) could change their mind and come off the bench.
One of the current mid-pack candidates could suddenly take off (Cain, Huntsman, Johnson)
I don't see Bachmann, Gingrich, or Paul going anywhere.
Cain has actually run major companies For starters: obama has not even come close to these accomplishments!
Masters Degree Purdue
Navy
Coca cola
Pillsbury 77 where he rose to VP by the early 80's
Burgar King (Pillsbury co) He managed 400 stores in Philly. And under his leadership Burger King went from least profitable to most profitable in 3 yrs.
He then was appointed President and CEO of Godfathers pizza in 14 months he reduced the stores cut waste and reduced costs. and finally they started making money.
CEO National Restaurant Association
.
That has nothing to do with my comment. I said political experience. Business experience does not equal political experience, and being CEO of the National Restaurant Association is not like being President.
Can you name the last President who had less political experience than Herman Cain? Can you name the last President who never held elected office prior to being POTUS? I'm pretty sure the last one was a five star general, and the one before that was Secretary of Commerce. CEO of Godfather's Pizza just doesn't stack up.
You really just said this Because this describes obama not to T because obama has even more inexperience than what you posted! Hahaha so darn sad....
"More inexperience"? Just what do you mean by that? Obama was a state senator and a US senator.
Running the federal government is not the same as running a chain of pizza parlors! There's this pesky little group called "voters" who will oppose you at every opportunity as pres. As a pizza chain manager, your word is final. Period.
Until campaigning begins in non radical, Swing State America, there is no way to tell if any one of these "You don't know me" candidates is taking off.
Just because you hold a position at a company does not mean you should have that job or that you do that job well just because you have a title!
Nothing to do with my post. You said obama HAS less experience, which is factually inaccurate. At this point in time, he has more experience considering he was a U.S. Senator and has been the POTUS for three years. That is significantly more experience than Cain, and unless the Republicans come forward with a viable candidate, Obama will have 8 years of experience.

A senator who voted present all of the time. Yeah real hard worker! And obama obviously does not understand how the economy works other wise he would not be doing the things he is doing. He has NEVER Run anything does not understand how the real world works. That is obvious.

while obama has more government experience than cain does, obama has very little executive experience even when compared to sarah palin. cain mops the floor with obama experience wise. obama has never had to meet a payroll, he has never run a company in the real world. and cain was far from a pizza chain manager, he was in fact chairman and CEO of godfathers pizza. and cain had to deal with "voters", well actually stock holders of the company. remember that the stock holders can vote the chairman of the board out of the company, and the CEO can be fired by the board of directors. and it can be done easier than changing presidents.
I think the fear for Cain is rising. Haaahaaa They are amping up the attacks.... and are un-rational.
Oh yes everyone is afraid of Cain. That could be one view another may be that we just like making fun of this group of Republican candidates. They are terrible.
