The conventional wisdom is that Herman Cain will fade fairly soon because of his inexperience, his almost bragging about his lack of foreign policy expertise, his 9-9-9 plan has been ripped apart, his gaffes, his puny pile of campaign cash, his lack of a real get-out-the-vote infrastructure, etc.
This analysis by a highly respected political statistician suggests the conventional wisdom might be right - or maybe not. So far, I'm not convinced it is, but I can't articulate why I feel he is not a flash in the pan.
