A Promise of a Job for Herman Cain

It is just what the doctor ordered and patient Herman Cain is taking the prescription ordered yesterday by Dr. Newt Gingrich.

One reason why Herman Cain could never be president is his total lack of political acumen. As he mounted the stage to hand off his endorsement to Newt Gingrich, it was never more clear that his seeking a position in the administration is at the root of his decision. The decision to endorse is of course late, but nevertheless somewhat worthwhile since he can still say he has a fraction of Tea Party grassroots to handover. It is not a rich cache because his 999ers would if not already, probably side with Dr. Gingrich since he is also a Tea Party darling.

Mr. Cain was probably vocal on landing a cabinet level position, but Newt Gingrich immediately made it clear the position would be a lesser position, his offer to Cain is a co-chair position on a commission to lead the policy on the economy and taxes.

The endorsement will probably not add much to the projectile of the Florida primary.
