If all of the other candidates continue to self-destruct, he's in for the nomination. But Obama is not going to lose to anyone that the GOP fields now. He's a brilliant tactician -- look at how he set up his record for re-election.

All we can do now is Hope that Obama Changes.........

Can't answer a difficult question without asking advisers. (See questions regarding foreign policy)
Can't speak without having to later retract or clarify. (See everything)
All fluff no stuff.
Caught lying. (See comment regarding fed)
Pander expert to appeal to audience of the moment. (see stance on abortion)
Doesn't understand good taste (see Political smoking ad that basically says nothing) And on this he says he didn't review it: He doesn't have 60 seconds to view it on a smart phone? I think i would take that excuse pretty seriously.

I can see the appeal. He is just like all the others we have elected over the past 20 years.

FAIL. An accidental flash in the pan. It is insulting that he gets so much attention.

Obama bought a house, however even that deal turned out to be very shady.

Based on his appearance in Ohio the other day, you could say the same thing about Romney.

President Oblame/everyone/else in fact DID accomplish ONE thing, before the time he fully revealed the absolute befuddlement of everyone he conned into voting for him for President, after actually BECOMING President.

The ONE thing Barack Oblame/everyone/else accomplished before becoming President was exactly that same ONE thing he CONTINUED to accomply after becoming President.

Namely, absolutely NOTHING !

John Dickerson left out the most important in the resume of Mr. Cain. Mr. Cain is the front end of a very wealthy (1%), terrorist Koch brothers, who are managing and funding the unconventional campaign of Cain. The agenda of Koch brothers is a sinister one; spreading misinformation across the country for self serving needs at the expense of National interest. I call Koch brothers terrorists because their actions mean harm to the nation.

Never heard of the Koch brothers, but I've heard plenty about George Soros! Is one extreme better than the other. Are we not all tired of extremes, I sure am.

I like Cain cause he's the only true antiestablishment guy running. All the others are politicians. America wants an outsider with no prior political experience - this is why so many are drawn to him. He's also a candid guy which is appealing - he's not afraid to own up when he can't answer a gotcha question - now that is presidential. People are fed up with politicians and neither Perry nor Romney looked presidential at the last debate, instead they were like kids fighting over a toy. This leaves us with one viable choice - Mr. Cain. Without even trying, Cain's ahead in many polls. Rasmussen has him polls nationally over Obama - keep in mind that Rasmussen was the most accurate pollster in the last general election! Cain is running an unconventional campaign proving that the voice of the people is more powerful than the voice of Karl Rove or the size of your campaign warchest! Although he has waffled on some issues and appeared inconsistent, this does not disqualify him from being a formidable opponent against Obama the president known for failed stimulus and healthcare plans. Get on the Cain Train!

Anti establishment? based on what? What about...

Cain proved to be the banking insider by not taking a stand with the people against the Fed (TARP, Bailouts, secret loans).? All the talk about 9-9-9 While the Fed destroys our economy.? No tax adjustments are going to help us while we are at the mercy of the Fed.
The first partial audit revealed $16 trillion in secret loans to bail out American and foreign banks and businesses and Cain doesn't think this is important!!!? Cain wants you to ignore the man behind the curtain while handwaving about 9-9-9

And you think he is non-politician? Google cain and flip flops, there are far too many to even list here.

Ron Paul 2012 - The only candidate supported by individuals and not insiders.

I wish that could really understand the news media real motive. The amount of energy spent dissecting Mr. Cain on issues irrelevant to the office of the Presidency is incomprehensible. The news media has a responsibility to report the facts, relevant and impartial. Their only agenda is to report the true aside of their personal bias.
We are in one of the most critical period of the economical history of this nation. There are 14 million American that are unemployed and unable to provide for their love ones or themselves. Dignity is at stake here to say the least.
Now I ask, have the Obama administration philosophy have either help or made the economical status of this nation better or worse? I do believe that "Jobs" is the greatest and most critical issue in the mind of the American people. So, why are we not scrutinizing the candidates on this issue? Why are we putting too much emphasis in trying to discredit any candidate that opposes Mr. Obama? The press has being such an integral issue in preserving the liberty and health of this nation, but it has lost its way. If we can be honest with ourselves we cannot be honest with the American people. In my military career, I learned that you must be honest with your subordinate at all time. I learned that "you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot full all of the people all of the time". Otherwise you lose credibility and without credibility you become an ineffective leader. The press is at this point. They have become bias, twisted and not trust worthy.
At this point I see myself voting for Mr. Cain. The more that I see the media/press pressing on issues irrelevant to the crisis that we are confronting today, the more that I entrenched that I become in my decision on going for Mr. Cain on my support. If the media/press is going to continue to scrutinize Mr. Cain or any other candidate as they are doing at least they should scrutinize Mr. Obama in the same manner. Let's be fair!
By the way, I am just a regular voter that holds loyalty to my nation first and last to any political affiliation.

i wish what you said was true, the media forms opinions in this country and are trying to put forward a socialist agenda in the U.S. Even the department of education is promoting the global community as opposed to what is in the best interest of America.

Or dumb, or communists. Obama has the largest team of advisers ever set under the sun. Every time he wants to fart he hires a committee.

Its not that they are evil its just that they are interested in feathering their own nests with your dollars. Dems & GOP advisors. I guess that makes them evil. I retract my first premise.

Has anyone noticed how Ron Paul is the only candidate that has released a Spending Plan? Not to mention, the only one who has released a spending plan with spending cuts. Everyone else is offering tax plans--none of which solve the runaway spending and borrowing and inflation.

I am not a fan of Ron Paul but he can very well end up as the GOP nominee. It will be like 1972 when George McGovern won the Democratic nomination. We all know what happened then.

Its amazing, cutting spending was supposed to be the most important issue. Ron Paul is the only one who is doing it. Too many people are voting for perception in the case of Cain. They 'think' he is an outsider and are totally ignoring his policies.

Ron Paul 2012

People would not elect Ron Paul if he were the only candidate in the race. He is not electable regardless of his positions. I do believe he is right in many of them.
