The Herman Cain Saga ["According to the October 2011 FEC report for ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT INC...."]
RushLimbaugh ^ | November 02, 2011 | RUSH

RUSH: Okay, moving on now to the Herman Cain saga, last night I got a note from a friend. "Rush: The Politico website's gone nuts. They've just unleashed attack after attack after attack." So I went to The Politico website, I looked at The Politico website, and I started laughing because my friend was right. I just had a different interpretation. I looked at 'em as going over the edge. There must have been five or six different links to Herman Cain stories about "the women," about lawyers for "the women," about how Cain has blown up the security or the confidentiality agreement, about how the women want to come forward. They can't wait to come forward, but there's in confidentiality agreement. They're doing everything, and I couldn't stop laughing looking at The Politico website.

Then I found this. This is from a website called Northern Virginia Lawyer: "Based on a suggestion from a local blogger to look into political donors on the Board of Directors of the National Restaurant Association for potential ties to presidential campaigns, I have attempted to identify anyone privy to inside information about the National Restaurant Association who also has recent ties to any presidential campaign." I'm reading from the website. Everybody's trying to figure out who leaked this to the Politico? Was it Obama, was it another Republican? Who's responsible for this. So that's why somebody here's trying to find out if there's a connection from the National Restaurant Association to a current Republican presidential campaign -- and they found something.

From the beginning I smelled the Romney Sleaze Machine.

Well, I have my suspicious about POLITICO-LEAK-GATE.

For one thing, I am much more open now to the suggestion that the smear originally came from the camp of one of two existing political camps in the present GOP presidential primary race, and not from the White House as I had thought. It is/was a fellow Republican competitor or competitors to Herman Cain, going to Lib Dem. POLITICO, for the character assassination attempt. The facts are not in yet, just the suspicions, so I hesitate to say if it was P, or M, or S, or P for that matter, or maybe a combination of two of them. Or maybe somebody not even in a campaign, but just a well connected Agent of Darkness such as Karl Rove, which I also suspect but need more "dots". Those dots are going to come out though, fast and furious!! Hang on folks. Meanwhile, Cain moves up in the polls and gets even more national campaign contributions! God is rewarding him for his suffering and humiliation over this, I am convinced. It is all going to backfire anyway, and whomever planted it is sorely going to wish that they had never done so. Mark my word.

“I couldn’t stop laughing looking at The Politico website.”

What’s so funny? What in the mudslinging, the character assassination, the high-tech lynching, the politics of personal destruction, is funny?

Cain has accused Perry’s team because a former Cain worker who knows this story is now working for Perry. However, the worker says its not him and Perry workers are suggesting that Romney people are responsible. Oy vey.

Did anyone expect otherwise? I have no idea whether he did it or not. But in either case, his answer would have been the same....

Politico ran a column, last January, which asked if Marriott was helping Romney's candidacy by banning porn in its rooms.

Another step toward Romney 2012: Marriott bans porn

Marriott seems to be doing Romney a costly favor: The in-room porn business is in decline, but was still making them some $175 per room annually, according to the most recent figures available.
