Question for the Cain supporters

What is appealing about Cains is this:
1. He speaks bluntly, regardless of the demographics of his audience.
2. He takes a stand which smacks of conviction.
3. These two characteristics are requisite of a "statesman", not a politician.
4. He gives the impression that his #1 goal is to improve America, not to assure his popularity and successful election.
5. This smacks of courage and guts.
6. He is happy to be interviewed by hostile media outlets and hosts. He does not run from or avoid them.

The other frontrunners are RINOs. They might as well be registered as Democrats.

You're so far right, almost anyone in the Republican Party must seem like a Democrat.

Cain strikes me as someone on a book tour trying to sell books and who never thought he'd get as far as he has playing a Republican candidate -- as evidenced by his lack of campaign infrastructure. I guess he didn't count on how gullible and desperate many conservatives are.

I really do hope he gets the nomination but I suspect he'll end up a VP under one of the bigger players.

Since you view the world through the filter of liberalism, your interpretation of a true conservative will not be accurate. Fearful people view the world differently than bold people. Sick people view differently than healthy people, and so on.

His life accomplishments strike me as a person who has chosen to expect excellence of himself and take control of his own destiny. He has no sympathy with those who do not push themselves to succeed, but only plod along with mediocre expectations and then demand handouts from those who are successful.

Book tour? Isn't that how your god, Obama, got his fortune? Talk about a book hawker!

It works both ways, bubba.

I agree.

It would seem that Cain understands campaigning much better than the seasoned pros. Isn't he the top contender in the polls? And he has accomplished this with much less special interest money.
His results on campaign trail belie any criticism about his campaign structure.

You can't go by that. Perry was destroying everyone in the polls without spending one dollar. Just announcing that he was running. The R's just want someone besides Romney. Cain is getting vetted now and will start to drop when every thing comes out.

Time will tell, and we do not have to wait long. The primaries will be upon us soon.
Romney also took the lead in the polls immediately whenever he announced. It had nothing to do with campaigning. But now that he has campaigned a little, he has lost the lead. Same with Perry.
Their immediate lead in the polls was due to media hype and Democrat endorsement. (They want to pick out candidate for us so that they will have an easy victory.)
Cain started on the bottom, and by steady, hard campaigning, has risen to the top. If you had been following him, you would have seen that he was no shooting star, but the climb was steady. I believe that he will remain in the lead position and secure the nomination.
I have been contributing to his campaign for several months and was quite worried a few months back, but I am now pleased that he has established himself. We can only expect good things to come based upon his life successes and campaign results.

I'm curious. How exactly would Democrats pick out a Republican candidate for the Republicans? I would think Republicans would be the ones who would decide who their candidate will be.

Cain not spending the money to run a big time campaign? Sounds like a fiscal conservative to me. Unlike others who run up huge debts trying to get elected. Maybe once he sees that he is a player and is getting the donations, he will buy a full time crew and maybe even a more conventional campaign manager.
