Fox News focus group: Herman Cain won the first GOP presidential debate (YouTube)

I hav't seen all that much of Cain but he has Business cred and confidence which goes along way.

Cain and Santorum seem the most realistic candidates of the night.... Though Santorum needs to take a shot or two before show time to take the edge off his nerves.

who the ** is Herman Cain?

Who the ** is Herman motherfcuking Cain?

good. i'm not the only one that didn't know.

Herman Cain definitely won last night.

Oddly enough, I kind of liked Gary Johnson although he doesn't have a chance in the world.

I can't stand Ron Paul supporters who get excited everytime he makes a sound. And honestly, I have no faith in his foreign policy ideas.

Pawlenty sounded the most polished. In other words, he sounded like the best politician. Probably not a good thing.

Santorum is unelectable but nominatable. Social conservatives will love him but he would get crushed by Obama.

Presumably you are not seriously suggesting a presidential candidate should drink to calm his nerves? Sounds marvelous.

A shot is no big deal.

A shot is no big deal.

Quite, just what every citizen needs, a president with a nervous problem that requires shots of alcohol to steady them

Some congressmen have had good success taking a hit or two to calm the nerves.

Your point? Surely you are not suggesting this is a good attribute for a president, are you?

They're only human.

[Peikko 1,575]

They're only human.

Indeed they are, but being only human doesn't mean that you need to get squiffy to give a speech in front of the masses; this is not a good thing. Taking a drink at the end of the day to relax is one thing, taking a drink to face a crowd is totally different, and something that doesn't give me much confidence in that person as suitable for a high pressure job.
