No. A vote for Cain is a vote against Cain eating the sun, but he can still sell it off by the slice to other wealthy sun eaters. ---

These politician types don’t sound very trustworthy, do they? Well then, I’ll wait for a candidate to clearly enunciate a non-sun-eating \*and \*non-selling platform before committing to voting for them. ---

Chill out, **monavis** , I was making a little joke off the thread title, nothing more. I already know your MO concerning abortion (as you may well know mine) and I well know the futility of trying to change anyone’s mind around here on that subject. ---

On the plus side, Cain is just the latest in a long string of Not Romney’s so what he actually says does not really matter. [del]Donald Trump Sarah Palin Newt Gingrich Michelle Bachmann Maybe Sarah will run now Rick Perry (He’s from TEXAS, ya know) Now, Sarah?[/del] Herman Cain The man is not even running for president. He has no campaign staff in Iowa, SC or Florida. Not a good way to win a caucus or primary even if you lead in the polls. he spent the first month of being the Not Romney on a book tour, rather then actually campaigning. ---

I predict Newt will rise as the next Not-Romney for a week or two. ---

Hey, OMG? Did that mean Joe the Plumber was important? Are there any other criteria for ‘important person’ other than how much attention they garner? ---

There’s the traditional criterion of how much money they have. ---

> [@Truman\_Burbank](#): > > Hey, OMG? Did that mean Joe the Plumber was important? Are there any other criteria for ‘important person’ other than how much attention they garner? Sure, but one sure way to be important is to be a household name. It’s not a value judgment. ---

Huh. I guess to me, ‘important’ is the very essence of a value judgement. And even though I know who Jesse James and kat Von D are, that doesn’t render them important IMHO. Maybe I’m missing something here… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cains-definition-of-pro-choice/600477.md?page=4)
