And Obama’s guys would never have let this drop this early.

Before I knew about Perry's Arizona coordinator talking about this three days ago, I would have said Romney or Obama.

My first thought was that Obama or Romney got spooked by Cain's increasing donations and poll numbers and they were trying to nip it in the bud. If I didn't see it for my own eyes that Perry's campaign knew about this last week, I would have pegged Obama's campaign. Obama can't risk facing Cain. Romney is a safer bet for Obama, because if Romney gets the nod, the MSM will try to make sure that 100% of voters know Romneycare helped lay the foundation for Obamacare and that Romney is a Mormon.

I still can't get over the stupidity of Perry's campaign to openly discuss this last week. How freaking stupid could you be? This Shawnna Bolick might have just done a lot of harm to Perry's campaign and she'll probably lose her position. If she'd kept her mouth shut like any halfway intelligent person, we'd be looking at Obama or Romney as the culprits.

Somebody is going to ask Perry about how his Arizona coordinator knew about this attack against Cain last week. Can't wait to hear his response.

Yeah, but the argument could be made that if Obama wants to face Romney, they’re better off having Cain split the conservative vote with deep-pockets Perry. It’s way too early for them to be hacking at Cain. Likewise, if you’re the Romney campaign, you don’t want to give Perry more momentum earlier than you need to. It’s actually the Perry team who would benefit from this early drop. He’s known for going negative and playing hardball, but obviously we’ve no shred of evidence that it comes from his camp.

Oh, sorry, I see now, there is some emerging evidence of the Perry camp having it, I get it. (I was just speculating without that.)

Well...I hope you’re right and someone does ask Perry. He deserves the right to respond. What if, however, there is a problem with Cain’s past? Just asking.
