I love the smell of fear at the New York Times.

If Herman Cain feels his management skills are up to any challenge, some of his former staff members think he should have started with the disorder in his own campaign.
Mr. Cain has hardly shown up in New Hampshire and Iowa, they said, spending the bulk of his time on a book tour through the South. He occasionally mishandled potential big donors or ignored real voters. His campaign churned through the small staff; last week, his campaign announced the appointment of the veteran campaigner Steve Grubbs, his third Iowa leader in four months.
Even bumper stickers have been hard to come by.
And then there was that e-mail to the staff about traveling in a car with Mr. Cain: “Do not speak to him unless you are spoken to,” the memo said.
“I found it odd,” said a former staff member who liked to prep Mr. Cain for appearances while driving. The aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, quit not long afterward, citing the e-mail as one of the deciding factors.
Mr. Cain’s campaign has generated much promise since it began over the summer. A former business executive rises improbably from anonymity to the top of the polls, using the strength of his speechmaking, folksy charm and catchy policy plans.
But Mr. Cain’s campaign may have undermined itself with questionable decisions and a series of missteps, which have led to the impression that the candidate lacks focus and preparation.
Mr. Cain has made several contradictory, and sometimes befuddling, remarks on abortion and foreign policy, which have forced him to spend days clarifying and defending himself.

I love the smell of fear at the New York Times.
Former Aides=Made up
Gotta love the Old York Times sticking to their script.
Pray for America
Articles such as this are only printed as a morale booster for the left. A typical Cain voter would either never read or toss off anything the NYT has to opine about him.

Sounds like the disorder in his campaign has taken care of itself. That is why you are a ex-aid complaining about your former boss who is surging in nearly every poll.
haha.

As opposed to what--Acorn fraudulent voters? WTF?
NYT creative writing at its finest.
“The aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity...”
Naaaaaaturally.
Because he knows his lies would be called out if he gave his name. Why discredit his own name when he can use a willing accomplice in the NYT to discredit Cain’s name from the cover of anonymity?
whatta joke!
cain turns around difficult companies,
but the nyt is in a crash and burn and
it manufactures a “news” story.
how convenient.
The free market IS chaos.
Herman Cain is running his campaign like a free market business.
You know what they call the well organized, everything in its place, top down organization? Dinosaurs! That’s the description of the maga-corporation. And that’s the model most pundits think of when the think of a “well run” campaign.
Well, for the last couple of decades those mega corporations have been getting their backsides kicked by small startup companies. Companies that look like total chaos to old timers.
So, these anonymous ex-aides complain that the campaign was in chaos? Well, jerks, whose fault was that? Yours, maybe?
Seems like every conservative that is the race has ex aides, aka unknown people with a foul big mouth, out disparaging our candidates.
Of course we can’t hear who they are because they don’t exist.
The last century was the age of big corporations created by men drawn to power, who believed they had not just the wisdom, but the moral authority to control and guide entire industries. It was also the age of big, centrally controlled government programs. These too were created by men drawn to power, who believed they had not only the wisdom to control and manage entire nations from the top down, but the moral authority to mold those nations into their image of what was good. The last century was the age of big; it was the age of centralized, top-down control.The information revolution shattered the previous age; replacing its centralized, hieratical power structure with decentralized, distributed power. This new age was created by nerds like Apple’s Steve Jobs, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, YouTube’s Chad Hurley, eBay’s Pierre Omidyar, Digg’s Kevin Rose, Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, Blogger’s Evan Williams, and Google’s Larry Page—all nerds who started businesses that fundamentally changed the world.

They can't comprehend that Cain is running a modern campaign modeled on the internet age. Top-down smooth running doesn't work today. Bottom up chaotic is the model that works.
just another hit piece...
If it’s Kevin Hall, heck yeah. He is not “tea party”.
Don't get to comfortable here NOOB, I suspect you have ozone in your future.
