Victoria— I totally agree with your post. There is some smoke here, and I’m not going to unlock logic to declare a la Ann Coulter that this is a lynching. I supported Clearance Thomas after I investigated and more of the allegations became unbelievable (Coke cans and such). I am also 20 years wiser now, and I’ve seen some pretty horrible leaders in my life, as all people my age probably have. The series of stories coming out over the past three months from the Cain campaign point to what I tried to enunciate in the lead editorial of this thread. I believe Cain is an arrogant and reckless manager. He’d sink a submarine if he was skipper. I’ve seen this before. In real life.

I agree with you.
You brought up the metaphor of the submarine skipper sinking the sub, and I had to laugh. However, it brought to mind what I call the sub-plot to this story. It is the question of who was the leaker of the sexual harassment story? And the finger is starting to point to the Mitt Romney team. If that is true, the tactics he is using may be the big issue. I do not see anything good coming out of it. It could be the real submarine skipper, Mitt Romney, sinking his submarine campaign for president over an episode of dirty tricks.
