Could Herman Cain be an actual contender...

... or is he yet another flash in the pan? Personally, I'm still skeptical that his campaign seems "serious" enough to win, but with the way this election is going so far, who know? If Romney were to become involved in some gaffe or scandal within the next few weeks, Cain could be in a position to pick up quite a few votes. The linked article provides some interesting analysis. What do you guys think?
