Before you count your chickens, make sure you give this about another month to pass. The reason I say this, is due to the traditional lag in political polls when ever a scandal or issue like this becomes public. It takes time for the apolitical world to hear it or discuss it. But in time, the effect will show up and be extremely difficult to undo once it becomes branded into the publics mind.

It is also notable that Cain has not handled this well. His outright denial and at the same time, admission that this recent scandal occurred, will prove to be very much of a problem for his candidacy. He has done nothing to prove it as false, other than say so, which is all Cain has to go on.

Well.. how long did it take for Perry's meteoric rise to flame out? Once the Gardisil and immigration issues came to the fore, he dropped well back into the pack.

As for Cain, how would he go about proving it as false? The fact that neither specific details nor "victim" names exist to this point speaks volumes about the lack of validity of the accusations. If the "victims" have specifics, let's hear 'em. It's time to know the "what"... AND the "who."

If these women are so "livid" and so "wronged" as claimed, they should put it all out there on the open field for everyone to see.

If you had read up on this at all you'd know that Cain had no idea what was coming out because Politico refused to tell him. Nor was Cain a signatory to the agreement, his being gone from NRA when it was settled.

So, with "charges" of sexual misconduct (note that only the attorney for the claimant has said it "in his view" rises to harassment) being floated by a leftist blog, no confirmation because the claimant refuses to come public, and others tied to the campaigns of Cain's competitors and a nobody radio host in Iowa with a stupid "He asked 'darlin, would you sweeten my tea?', we are to believe this stuff?

The only people adamantly crying harassment are you people from the Perry campaign. Wonders of wonders; especially when one of his pollsters is a source of some of this crap. Well keep harping on it (as I'm sure you will...it's what you are). You simply make me laugh over your blindness on how this has made you, and your marble-headed candidate look to the public. Thanks for the help. You've only made Herman Cain stronger in the public eye.

BWAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAA!

The reason your candidate of choice is polling in single digits is because of these sort of tactics the Perry supporters all insist on using

GOP Voters want issue based candidates, not candidates who spend all their time flaming out at the other GOP candidates in the race.

Your style of posting is an excellent example of why Perry went from 30% to single digits in the polls.

GOP voters have seen your sort of gutter politics before. They are use to having it directed at them and so reject it when they see people, supposedly on our side, engaging in them.

Perry will never come back as long as his supporters continue using these childish personal attack style politics.

You Perry supporters were warned in Sept to focus on the issues and drop the sleazy personal attacks. But the Perry camp though they were oh so clever trash talking everyone else in the campaign. Having reaped the wind, Camp Perry is now reaping the whirl wind from GOP voters.

So how about instead of the childish personal attack at Cain you habitual post, you try ONE time making a case FOR your candidate instead?

Ah but that right, when you cannot win on the issues all you are left with is this sort of Leftist style sleazy attack politics

How about you stop recklessly and relentlessly lying about Cain and try even ONE time making a case FOR your candidate instead?

I agree with your analysis, but if he survives this and wins Iowa it basically inoculates him on this issue for the general election. That is why I do not fault any Pub hammering on this. If he cannot survive it with Pubs, he will never survive it with the general populace.
