The problem with Herman Cain is that Republicans cannot do anything more than make an educated guess about him. He is entirely likable, understands the need to dramatically reduce the federal government's footprint, and is a happy warrior akin to the Party's patron saint, Ronald Reagan.
But he struggles with specification. He has failed to go in depth defending "9-9-9" or refuting the substantive concerns raised about it, nor has he given much indication that he has thought out his positions on other relevant issues like foreign policy or the judiciary.
Of less reassurance is the fact that he is just now beginning to assemble something approximating a campaign structure. Heretofore it has been entirely ad hoc.
Going into an election we cannot afford to lose, Mr. Cain asks Republicans to make a large leap of faith.
