You know, every single nominee ever has had statements, policy positions, and records to overcome on their way to the nomination. None have done so without bumps and bruises. Herman Cain is receiving bumps and bruises, and will receive more. But could it be that voters will see something beyond the details of a campaign, and see a man that they like and trust to lead?
I have great reservations about placing trust in politicians, or even people in general, if I don't know them. I have reservations about some of Herman Cain's positions on the issues. But I'm coming to trust that he is who he appears to be, means what he says, and is just an all around good guy who might do a bang-up job leading this country.
