Here's Cain's failing:

"I don't have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration. Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich; blame yourself! ... It is not someone's fault if they succeeded; it is someone's fault if they failed."

And the Times explanation of his faults, "Cain's answer speaks to the seeming inability of today's Republican candidates to defend free-market capitalism and curtailing government regulations on the private sector without sounding crass and insensitive. "

Good thing they are there to help us mere mortals discern what's what.
