Only because you Perrywinkles keep it alive because there's nothing else good to report regarding freefall Perry.
Herman Cain isn't fighting this charge effectively, so he's decided to turn the attack away from him and onto Rick Perry.
Everyone can see this tactic for what it is.
Cain should not have ‘gone there’ with the Perry accusations. He has been a sympathetic character in this story, the victim of a smear, so what does he do, he smears another candidate with nothing but speculation. Not smart.
The fact that the Wilson fellow does polling for a PAC that supports Perry means nothing. He was questioned as a former employee of the NRA, not as a Perry pollster. It’s common for experts in the various aspects of campaigns to work for one candidate in one election cycle, and for another candidate in the next. Those experts constitute a limited universe. These are purely business arrangements; seldom is there any personal or ideological connection. Or loyalty.
Similarly, a $1K donation by Anderson to Romney means nothing. People who make their living in politics automatically have a percentage of their income set aside for political contributions, and often they cover all their bases. I believe I read/heard that he also donated to Cain.
None of that, and all that is known as of today, creates a connection between whoever did leak the story to Politico and any other campaign. These dots do not connect.
Too many people in DC knew this story long before last Sunday. I was told by a Democrat friend two weeks ago that then-unspecified “stuff” was going to come out about Cain. If that person knew, you can bet your bottom dollar that there are dozens of people who knew. For all I know, it was that person who ‘leaked’ the open secret to Politico.
Cain’s and his campaign’s attacks on Perry are pure speculation, totally unwarranted with what is known now, and do not reflect well on him and his ability to face controversy if he wants to be POTUS. He’d better get his act together, and fast.
Cain was the flavor of the month. The month was October. This is November and he’s done. And good riddance. We don’t need another serial sexual predator in the White House.
