Support for candidate Cain is growing.
Hugely. HE is one of US...what the elites called the
unwashed...a Citizen-non politician...
Citizen CAIN! The epitome of the dream of the Founders.
Enthusiasm is not alone sufficient, I grant you.
But it does have the ability to bring other things to the table, like: more active campaign supporters (workers), more money, other campaigns' management teams (with experience in the ins and outs of the "infrastructure" needed to get a national campaign to the finish line), heightened publicity and heightened voter recognition of the candidate and his positions.
The naysayers will carp that all of this is a pipe dream. But the odds of an inexperienced former State Senator from Illinois who had served (in a lackluster fashion) for a brief time in the U.S. Senate going on to win the nomination of the Dim Party were pretty much also a pipe dream at the outset and for a period of time DURING his run for the nomination.
The OTHER big-name Dim candidate was THE consensus shoe in for the nod.
Yet, oddly, the long-shot pipe-dream candidate managed to pull it off.
Mr. Cain is clearly not a shoe-in.
But with a little bit of luck, the electorate will come to its collective senses and history could repeat itself after a fashion. The long shot may yet come in.
Adios President Obama; it's a pleasure to see you go.
Welcome, Mr. Cain. It's an abiding pleasure to see that a man like you CAN reach for the nation's highest elective office and -- we hope -- win it.
