I would reverse the Gingrich/Cain ratings, as Cain is not a politician; as you write, it works both ways, and Gingrich has way too much baggage. Cain is the only candidate to date that has a plan coherent enough that he speaks to it regularly, while the others have either mirrored it or ask the interrested to "view a website". If they can't speak to a plan directly, how complicated is it, and why can't they talk about it in an interview? I also note that no candidate exceeds a 6. That is a pretty mediocre rating on a 1-10 scale.
