How did Herman Cain jump to the front of the GOP's presidential candidates?
Before his name became a household word (for all the wrong reasons this week), the American public had not heard of him. Yet, Republicans have grabbed onto him as the next possible nominee for the presidency.
Really?
Would you vote for a man who
- Breaks into "Amazing Grace" at a major news conference about allegations that he paid off several women who reported his sexual misconduct? (Today, one of those women went public.)
- Says that China is a "military threat...trying to develop nuclear power."
- Says that the person he admires most is Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who weathered a similar storm of controversy that brewed after Anita Hill, his assistant at the Department of Education and EEOC, testified at a Senate confirmation hearings in 1991.
- Got downright nasty with hordes of reporters trying question him about the allegations.
- Has no political experience.
- Promotes a tax plan under which everyone--from low-income families to millionaires--would pay at the same tax rate, 9 percent.

Says a lot about the people who are supporting him, doesn't it? Great post! May I add 'referring to himself in third person' to your list?
I have a feeling that Herman Cain is a sociopath.
