When did Cain not know and when did he not know it? :-)
Dirty Politics Readiness 101 for the Non-Politician — if you’ve got a potential scandal in your past, have an account from a constant point of view (i.e. when it was all wrapped up in an agreement or whatever) to address it if it should come up — and don’t let them see you sweat and get mad at getting blindsided.
I think if examined, almost everything that Cain said can be borne out depending on the view at a particular point in the time line of the understandably distasteful experience.
No.
Next question.
If Clinton can survive having committed several felonies, Mr. Cain can beat back the coordinated attack of his adversaries--the voting and TV watching public cannot concentrate long enough to carry this to Iowa and beyond IMO...

Parents were
Luther Cain Jr., born March 16, 1925 in TN, died March 29, 1982 in Atlanta, GA
Lenora Davis, born July 27, 1925 in GA, died August 20, 2005 in Atlanta, GA
Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)
Herman Cain is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama ISN'T!
Click on the cane, (Go Cain.)
I wonder if Cain plays golf....if so he will be compared to Tiger soon that is as a bimbo a day surfaces. To complete the analogy, does Cain’s ability to either get the GOP nomination or lead the Nation equal Tiger’s ability to play golf after the focus deflections caused by bimbo eruptions?
Unfortunately, I think we will not get to find that out as I fear this lynching has had its effect. I also think when the smoke clears, Newt will be the winner.
If they could give truth serum to Bill Clinton, he might say something like “Herman, are you crazy? Women were about to fall all over you and you turned them away with some hush money? No Georgiacides? I don’t know what to make of these silly Republicans.”
One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century.
It's all eerily reminicient of leftists in this country who were enamoured of Hitler; that is up until he invaded the USSR and was suddenly a threat to their precious communists.
Alleged flirtations with the female help or no, I bet Newt wishes that’s all that’s going to be heard about him if he grabs a piece of the limelight.
Will it sink his candidacy? Hard to say at this point, but the enemy will certainly keep the heat on. If this doesn’t knock him out, watch for the narrative to switch to his past bout with cancer... the “media” and their bosses in the DNC will attempt to paint a picture of undue risk surrounding the electability of someone “who could have a recurrence and die in office.”
I read somewhere Chuck Todd already dipped his foot in those waters.
Does that mean you are throwing the towel in?
Two old-world lefties had a vicious cat fight. Who woulda ever thunk it.
OMG! That article was truly frightening!
What was worse were the comments:
“I wouldn’t want to live under a China-type autocracy, but lately I’ve been wondering if we’d have come out any worse had we remained with George III and England. All this ongoing talk, usually from conservatives, about the wisdom and foresight of the Founding Fathers is a bore. What kind of country did they leave behind when they died? We still had slavery, right? They hadn’t solved THAT, and the vote was still limited to white property-owning men.
Yes, George III was quite insane toward the end of his life, but, really, let’s give him another chance.”
I listen to Fox for 30 minutes when I come home Charles Krauthamer (sp) said he hoped as time progressed Republican voters would come to their senses and change their minds about Cain. I don’t think I will I love Cain.
What can you say about a channel that puts the Kardiashan (sp) on a news program ha ha ha
Melissa
being accused falsely by a woman and then falsely accusing a fellow Republican with no proof.
One thing I guess we're all sure of is Romney's hands are remarkably clean, nary an innuendo from Cain.
This is becoming very clear.
The ‘ready for the presidency’ is an interesting question. For one, NO ONE is ready for the presidency. Many different things can help a person be a prepared as possible. This could be previous elections, military experience, or private sector executive experience. It comes down to being able to make good decisions on the go. Cain has the decision making experience, but not the experience of dealing with a legislature or media. That said, he is a smart accomplished man who has succeeded overwhelmingly at everything he has done.
Secondly, being President is not that hard. It is challenging and stressful, but success simply requires a core set of principles and skills in making the right decisions. Also, selecting the right people around you to advise and help make the right decisions. We have overblown the difficulty of the position.
Their craft and power are greatA man who has OVERCOME cancer, poverty, racial discrimination, and the corporate world will OVERCOME this ANCIENT FOE!
And armed with cruel hate!but
WE SHALL OVERCOME!
HERMAN CAIN SHALL OVERCOME!
And save America in the process!
Despite all else, my years of watching campaigns says that Cain has to stop the bleeding over this shortly. Another 2 weeks of continuous negative press, and his campaign is fatally injured.
His best bet, in my opinion, is to free up any of the females to speak openly provided they also offer up their identity.
In terms of foreign policy comments, everyone knows that’s an area he has to grow. I actually agree with him on US energy independence being a deterrant to Iranian agression, and I agree that a Naval task force or two has all kinds of possibilities in terms of overt and covert operations against Iran.
