Cain and Santorum = 2 more possible GOP candidates

I left out two potential GOP candidates when I discussed them earlier.

First is another Self Inflicted wounded.  Senator Rick Santorum.  He angered the web so badly that they created a new disgusting curse word out of his name.  If you must know what it is, google it, I won't describe it here.  This was done in large part as protest against his anit-homosexual comments and views.  The point is not his views (or the definition of the neologism that was created.)  Instead it is just one more example of members of the far right angering the middle, let alone the left.  People that inspire that much vile are not well suited to lead.

The second is another Zero.  Herman Cain is a successful business man, radio host and Chariman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.   But he has zero experience as a GOP candidate.  If he is serious about running for office, he should first win a lesser office. At least win a primary.  He has previously lost a primary for the Republican Senator candidacy in Georgia.  Granted, GOP primary elections are tough, but they are not as tough as a presidential run.  Georgia - both the GOP and the state, preferred Johnny Isakson to Herman Cain as Senator, what makes him think the entire country would be different?
