Herman Cain is awesome. I love hearing his answers because he is not a career politician. He says what he thinks and is being genuine. Unfortunately, that will probably be his downfall as well. But it is refreshing to hear real answers instead of the usual, carefully worded, politically pleasing to as many people as possible answers.

Unfortunately, if Herman Cain's campaign picks up steam and begins attracting more campaign money, the "experts" will pressure him to use some of the money to pay for focus groups and polling. As a radio talk show host for the past several years, Cain has already spoken his mind on every important political issue and there is no reason for him to stop now. We can expect that if Obama and the media begin taking him seriously, we will be treated to many short audio clips taken out of context. No Republican running against Obama will escape being smeared by the left as an extremist.
