I don't know if anyone else saw this part of the Newt/Cain debate - when the moderator asked them whether they preferred a defined benefit model or a defined contribution model for Medicare. He threw the question to Cain, and he had a "Right of return.... Right of return...." moment, when he said with the same blank holy-sh*t stare, "Defined...... Newt, you go first." He didn't know what the question meant.
The man has demonstrated to my satisfaction, a lack of seriousness about the post he claims to be seeking. He has not familiarized himself with issues, terminology, positions, or the most basic talking points in support of the most rudimentary issues like abortion. He claims to be "studying" the things he does not know, but his study-habits and/or teachers seem to be getting in the way.
I think there is a good chance the accusations against Cain are false. But nonetheless, things about Herman Cain have been revealed by his response to the accusations, and compounded with other signs (as detailed above), I think it's quite likely that he is not ready for prime-time.
It pains me to say it. I had some hope that he would be the answer. But I just don't think it's to be. I'm starting to settle on thinking that perhaps it should not be.
