I've had a unique opportunity to spend some time with Pawlenty and I've seen Cain speak. If our neighborhood homeowner's association needed a president, Pawlenty's my guy. He reminds me of the guy next door. But I don't want my next door neighbor sending troops to Afghanistan or putting people on the Supreme Court.
The more I see of Cain, the more I'm convinced he will say anything to be the "tea party" candidate, which is amazing because he was anything but a tea party kind of guy until about 18 months ago. I think he's trying to run the 2008 McCain campaign.

If he addressed that problem, he could move on to his other problems, among which are that he's bat-shit crazy. I'm not sure the American people are that dumb -- they hear Paul talking about going to a free market and creating 15 percent economic growth with no inflation and they realize this guy has no clue what he's talking about.
Or they hear him talking about how he wants to "correct" the housing market by clearing out the housing market and letting prices drop further. That collective gasp you hear is the 65% of households who own their home and just heard Ron Paul say he wants to give them a $50,000 haircut.
