The Democrats want to destroy Cain because he threatens their narrative about Obama and race, especially with a respected black columnist and scholar like Sowell saying that Cain is more authentic than Obama.
Romney wants to destroy Cain for being the guy who most threatens his coronation.
Perry wants to destroy Cain in the mistaken belief that he will pick up those votes.
