Republican Candidates

 The South Carolina debates was recent, and with it, we get a first look at the playing field for Republicans.  There is a lot on the GOP's plate this Presidential election season, a bad economy, a war that has dragged on for nearly a decade, and government run health care.  Herman Cain came out as a front runner from the debate.  I want to know if he is the type of leader that can be Commander in Chief.
  Yes, there is much in common with running a country and running a business, but running the military is a different animal.  Can Herman Cain make the hard decisions from a military standpoint.  I will be more than willing to vote for him, if he is that type of leader.  But I need to know he is.  The other potential candidates seemed more of the usual politicians to me.
  We face a very critical election season next year.  We the people need proven leadership we can trust.  We can't hand the most powerful office in the free world to just anyone, and I for one would prefer to keep Pres. Obama over someone who can't in any way demonstrate the ability to make a hard call, one that my life and the lives of other service members rides on.
  Gentlemen, don't play politics, don't be egotistical about this.  If it isn't about serving your country, drop out now.  If it's about you being the center of attention, I don't want to hear it, there are serious candidates worth my consideration.  Figure out who is best for our country, and throw your support behind him.  Don't waste our time and money otherwise.
