Why Cain?
October 14th 2011 03:16
What is driving Herman Cain's meteoric rise in the polls? This may have something to do with it:
Politicians in Washington and across the country are almost universally despised. We vote in new people again and again, and the situation only seems to get worse. People want true, revolutionary change. To have "political experience" is NOT an asset at this point. What our politicians have tried has not worked.
So...why Cain? Maybe it's BECAUSE he has no political experience. He has real-world life and business experience. He has big ideas and advocates wholesale changes to the dysfunctional policies of Washington.
I could see Herman -- in January of 2012 -- kicking open the doors at the Capitol and proclaiming the following:
"You ... people ... have ... FAILED. The American people have lost all faith in you. So sit down -- with me -- and LET'S GET BUSY MAKING AMERICA WORK AGAIN. If you don't want to do that, there's the taxpayer-funded, gold-plated door. USE IT!"
Will he get the chance? We shall see.
The percentage of Americans who approve of the job Congress is doing returned to 13% in October, matching the all-time Gallup low on this measure, first recorded in December 2010 and repeated in August.
