Of course right wingers will bash her though........
. . . What?
Seriously... what is "A black man's place" ... and how does Herman Cain demonstrate he "knows" what that "place" is?
You can't even put the race card into play... but you still mention it like it's won the day.
Honestly, though - Cain's 9/9/9 plan is a marketing deal. It's intended as an interim between now and something similar to a Fair Tax (or, so he's
mentioned before). I'd imagine the way it will really work out will be considerably different from 9/9/9.
He's kind of played a big gamble, however. 9/9/9 is not really a good tax strategy - but it is very simple and has a very profound social impact.
Cain is, basically, betting on the rock-star atmosphere he seems to carry with him for his campaign; and hoping the criticisms of his plan will not
cost him the primaries (after which point - it will largely be irrelevant unless one of the primary candidates decides to pull a Bull-Moose and
divides the conservative vote).
Really - I would be fine with him or Paul winning the nomination (and impressed if the two ended up running together for President/VP - I think they
would make a pretty interesting combination). I think Cain should back the Fair Tax from the start (this interim deal will likely come back to bite
us in the butt); and I disagree with Paul's foreign policy standpoint to a considerable degree - but I think the two would make pretty good
Presidents... Paul probably a little better than Cain, given his experience and overall temperament - but either infinitely better than Obama
(although I should find some wood to knock on... life has a very twisted and ironic sense of humor).
