Palin's finances were drying up from the cost of litigation. Democrats abuse the legal system. The lawyers need Democrats to keep the system going for trial lawyers so the lawyers invest in the system by pro bono means to assult on Republicans. Maybe you could lead an effort to raise a lawyers war-chest to defend Cain if you think going to court is all that easy. Otherwise, Cain may trust the instincts of the voters to support him so spending his money on the campaign rather than lawyers may be the wiser move.
This is Cain's battle and I will only donate to the candidate who has proved to me he or she can lead this country, and for what I see now--I have plenty of time to make that decision. I also am following other candidates day by day and not bringing all my focus on Cain. Bachman for one, is out campaigning and has no real coverage--why should I spend my time watching cheap tabloid journalism and not reading about the real issues that face us all each day.
As I said--Cain should have handled this situation better early on. He rebuilt the franchises for big corporations--this should be small potatoes in comparison to.
I do, however, feel great empathy for Mrs. Cain and what she must be going through. But again her husband can not use his wife to gain pity points for his candidacy. They knew what they were getting into--it's a war out there. Cain has been part of the "talk" media side in her profession for some time now. He's no little Red Riding Hood.
