On Google, Cain buys 'Ginger White'
Politico ^ | 11/30/2011 | Ben Smith

Posted on 11/30/2011 7:35:30 PM PST by katiedidit1

A source sends over this screenshot of a Google search from yesterday, with a promoted Cain ad showing up when users in Iowa search “Ginger White.”

It’s not the first time the Cain campaign has used online and social-media advertising to its advantage. The New York Times noted the campaign’s use of a promoted tweet during the initial round of sexual harassment allegations:

Not long after Politico broke the story of the harassment accusations on Oct. 30, Mr. Cain’s campaign took to Twitter to help rebut them

Never mind. The Examiner.com link appears to be broken (or they took the story down), but it’s all over the place. Thanks.

You really believe this whole thing is beneficial to the Cain campaign?

They removed the article for good reason. See here:

Oh, no- not what has transpired with the accusation—

But since that time, just putting the best possible spin, he could end up like Hillary in NH in 2008—(if my recollection is right). She lost Iowa to Obama, and the media was proclaiming her dead,she cried, the staged thing with the guys yelling “iron my shirts”— and she turned it around.

With cain, my sense is that he thought he was a goner, his money was drying up— but now, reportedly, he’s starting to get more contributions. His accuser took her best shot, but seems to have no proof. People like a guy who can take a punch— he said as much on Cavuto (something like, most GOP guys fold tent when the media smears them, I don’t intend to let the media and elites do that to me)

People like a fighter- The tea party people like the guy who will fight the media and the elites. This situation gives him the opportunity to be judged on an entirely different basis-—someone who won’t surrender to the establishment tactics.

Democrats stood by Clinton hell or high water for 1 main reason-—he give it to the Pubs and didn’t take any crap. He beat them every time. So, they didn’t care, what the heck he did wrong- they stuck with him.

So, if Cain does that same thing- just fights tooth and nail against the establishment-—yes- I think it will benefit him.

Aren’t you glad you asked, Joe ???? -:)

The blogger is lying. NO WHERE does ABC say this.

So what?

Cain's accusers are lying as well.

She could also be a bisexual or polyamorous.

It appears that the original Joe Newby article has now been edited, including a new title...

Former business partner says Ginger White stalked her, never mentioned Cain

Joe Newby, Spokane Conservative Examiner November 30, 2011

http://www.examiner.com/conservative-in-spokane/former-business-partner-says-ginger-white-stalked-her-never-mentioned-cain

The original article is probably still available somewhere out on the internet...

Just 10 minutes ago I saw a new FR post about sex behavior questions regarding Dem candidate Gov. Richardson in 2008. The knives are coming out all over.

What an embarrassment that first article was. We’ll all need to be more careful next time we encounter an article by Joe Newby. Or should that be Joe Newbie?

...or polyamorous.

Interesting word. Breaks down to: "sleeps around a lot."

Richardson is a Dem, so whoever his accuser is better get prepared to be flayed, minced, and then shredded by the MSM. Cain’s accusers? Not so much....

He’s facing the onslaught because he’s splitting the black vote which has the democrates shaking like an earthquake...Obama has zero to run on...he’s going to need the black vote and he’s loosing it. I hope Cain stays the duration.......good for our side.

This stuff reads like a tabloid....just shows what the media thinks of the American people...they put out trash and call themselves journalists when they are simply gutter trash themsleves....disgusting to keep this at the front of news when there’s serious stuff happening here and worldwide.

In my opinion this is all about keeping the American people engaged with anything other than what’s really happening that we need to know of...distraction from the Obama administration and the media.

For that bit of optimism, I sure am glad Joe asked you, Vin. :)

Hey, maybe Axelrod could pay off Vince & Linda McMahon to have Beth Phoenix and Kelli Kelli come forward to claim that the Herminator solicited them for S&M and rough sex. But compared to the train wrecks that Axelrod already trotted out, these two are way too easy on the eyes for that one to have any credibility ;)

All the more reason I hope Cain stays in this. Even if he loses the primary, make it as costly as possible to the repub establishment and the dnc. Speaking of the Black vote, for the last year or so 0’s app ratings amongst them never went above the low 90’s Doesn’t sound like much, but Carter and Clinton’s approvals with Blacks were consistently +95%. Recently his app rating was BELOW 90. I understand that, if Cain can pull this off, all he needs is just 10% of the Black vote, and 0bummer is toast. THAT IMHO is the bottom line behind all this nonsense.
