Herman Cain progress

Herman Cain is one of the front runners, gaining a lot of support, attention and popularity, but with popularity comes a whole lot of criticism. Being the front runner makes the audience pay a lot of attention to you and everything you say and everything you do. The spotlight is on you so anything that goes wrong is pointed out and examined. Although Mr. Cain is still very popular there is starting to be a lot of second guessing and disappointment in his ideas and actions.
Mr. Cain has been contradicting himself in some of the most important issue while campaigning such as abortion and foreign policy which forced him to spend the last couple of weeks explaining himself and correcting the statements he has made. Mr. Cain is seeming to prove himself less and less by his actions, his inability to pay attention to detail and his contradictory views.
For the past couple of weeks as the heat has been put on him Mr. Cain has been spending a lot of time on his tour bus while at debates or speeches. He has been trying to stay out of the publics eye and away from the voters. While other candidates such as Romney, Perry and others are speaking to the crowd and interacting with them for support before debates and such, Cain has been hiding in his tour bus alienating himself from everyone.
Some of the people who have the opportunity to have one on one encounters with Cain, don’t have many good tings to say about him. There was a staff member who said, “do not speak to him unless you are spoken to”. To me that gives me a sense that Cain might be a little hard to handle and mean to people. That is not something that I would want in a candidate or that I think anyone else would want in a candidate to say the least.
Although Candidates are not perfect, for example Mitt Romney has had a lot of experience with elections and politics and he still makes mistakes. The difference is that Mr. Cain is a new candidate with no experience in politics, he only has his experience in his godfather pizza business, so he is getting a lot of hard critics on him, with the conclusion that he may not be ready to be the president.
Mr. Cain is also getting a bad reputation because he is unable to pay attention to detail. Cain had been missing meetings, canceling appearances in short notice and overall just forgetting important things that he has to do that will help him with the public. Some of his staff express how frustrating they feel about how hard it is to book Mr. Cain for appearances and to actually get him there, they compare it to “pulling teeth”.
One incident where Cain had was invited to speak to a crowd of about 200 people where afterwards he was supposed to meet potential Donors who would donate about $2500 to him if they liked him but Cain failed to show up.
