2) I think he has been in remission for about 5 years. That's great! However, I can't help but wonder if we are taking too big of a risk here, and a risk to him as well with the stress of running. Do we have any idea of what the risk is to him and to the country?
I just think he's too good to be true and something's going to happen to spoil it all. Are we rolling the dice with him? Is he rolling the dice with his health? What are his chances of remaining cancer free?

He said in the debate that it was a very fast spreading cancer. He's been free of it for a long time. A fast spreading one would probably have come back already if it were going to.
Beyond that, you never know with ANY candidate whether they're going to live or die in office. The whole thing is a crap shoot. Except that Herman Cain is the most refreshing, geniune, can-do, America-loving and solution-oriented candidate we've seen in a long, long time.
