Just an FYI. The reason that several people, including some pretty big names, suggest this is because there have been two credible warnings of a smear campaign on Cain coming from the Perry camp, the most recent was just last week - and the warning came directly from a staff member to Iowa volunteers.
I am not saying that is what it is, it could be Romney or Rove for all I know. I would think liberals would sit on this until after the nomination, if Cain were to be the nominee.
I think the establishment GOP may hate Cain as much as much as the liberals.
Yeah. I saw that too. I didn’t think they were credible warnings at all. I also saw that the Perry camp was going to destroy Romney quickly. I just shook my head. Foolish stuff. It shows you how the media thinks we’re a bunch of stupid kids. Perry is in no position to go negative. He has to sell his policy one on one. Michele Bachman is only hanging around so she can attack Perry for Romney. I honestly believed Cain was in for that reason too...but it looks like he wants the gig.
The only person who will benefit from this all out Republican war is Newt Gingrich. I think the story was planted by the Obama camp. They hate Cain attacking Obama and thus stories are going to start coming out just as they did when Obama and Hillary were competing.
If Cain is clean on this and holds on to his dignity by not playing the race card, nothing else will stick to him either. If the story has some legs, well, it’s best we know now. A lot of big names have endorsed him and a lot of credibility is at stake.
My choice is Perry. If a clean Cain is the last man standing, I’ll vote for him.
