He is a brilliant revolutionary and has more knowledge then the president (x1000) and all of the other candidates combined. I'm not positive he would be a great president as I would have to do further research but I believe he would be much better than the current president by a very long shot. He would be an incredible primary advisor to the president for sure. I would vote for him.
Unfortunately the media will destroy anyone who thinks for themselves. For instance he has his own opinions on some things that make many republicans cringe because they cant imagine they could be wrong about something. The close-mindedness of many democrats is no difference and some of them seem to have a real cruel hatred for someone who doesn't think the same thing as them.
He has his demons but look at Benjamin franklin and many brilliant men who changed history... They weren't the best husbands either....
The media nearly destroyed Cain with not one iota of proof and they will do the same to any republican that rises to the top.
Fact: the media is predominately liberal and in today's opinion controlled news rather than old school journalism and reporting that means there is a huge slant in the news. In many schools across the country where students are studying journalism those who show a rightward leaning opinion are judged and graded against their belief rather than against there skill and effort. In an article I read about 4 years ago journalists were polled on which way they vote. 79% of them vote democrat on a regular basis. Keep that in mind when you hear reporting from the major networks.
TIM RUSSERT we miss you

that was called journalism... There is no such thing today.
