The real reason they run for office. Scam artists from the beginning

Bloomberg had an excellent editorial this week about Herman Cain.   They call his policies simplistic, his candidacy a joke, and the only reason he is running is to promote his books and motivational speaking tour. 

But they also call him brilliant because it is working.  His 9-9-9 plan is just one example of why he is popular.  Everything sounds so simple.  The plan is simple (compared to Romney's 190 page plan) and passing it will be simple too - all he has to do is will it.  Afghanistan?  He will talk to the generals and win the conflict by wishing it so.

Some of his campaign staff quit because he doesn't seem willing to put in the hard work needed to win the Iowa
caucus.  Of course not.  He has no intention of winning.  Just like Sarah Palin is making millions off of her 15 minutes of fame during the last election, he is going to make tens of millions on his. 

Hmm, maybe I'll run for President next cycle.  My economic plan, health care plan, foreign policy plan, and trade policy will all be 1-page and be called "Make it so."
