Cain Starbursts

I don't understand why everyone is so mystified about Herman Cain leading the GOP candidate field.  He's basically Sarah Palin - delightfully vapid, determinedly ignorant of anything of substance and running less for office than a show on FOX - with the added bonus of giving Republicans cover for their racism towards Obama by pretending to claim they'd actually vote for him.  If he looked as good as she does on a motorcycle they'd declare his birthday a national holiday.
