I think its partly racial and secondly there is no Ronald Reagan out there. I don’t think that he should be treated differently because he’s black and I don’t like when conservatives let him play the race card. People don’t like Slick Willard but they may end up with a RINO because all the conservative candidates just don’t excite them. Cain seems to be more the object of a recent crush than because people really like the candidate. Will he still be around in two months? Three? Its a political eternity to the caucuses and primaries and Cain could fade well before then - if not due to this scandal, then because he has been aggressively vetted and found wanting. We still don’t know how strong a candidate he is. And his lack of preparedness to be President is not something to be brushed off lightly. Yes, he is getting more scrutiny than Obama. I welcome that scrutiny and in the end his fellow Americans will decide for themselves whether he should have the presidential nomination of the Republican Party and if fate should so decide, entrust him with the highest office in our land.

I think he is our Ronald Reagan.
Herman Cain’s positive intensity score has been the highest every week, until the week Rick Perry announced, and Perry got a little bump - then Herman was back on top the next.
On the Gallup results:
Rick Perry’s image is suffering, with his Positive Intensity Score among Republicans familiar with him down to 15, and below 20 for the first time. Meanwhile, Herman Cain’s score is now 30, the highest for any candidate this year.
Herman’s has been as high as 34.
Romney’s is only 13 - I don’t really expect that to get much higher, do you :)
I relish the moment when I get to call a liberal a "racist" for criticizing Cain and watching their jaw drop to the floor in indignation.
