There are hordes who would like to see that happen!
I know and I guess that is what is really bothering me lately, more so than the media circus. The tactic of the left to drum up some "sin" so the conservative base 'won't vote for' whoever because of ....blah, blah, blah.
One needs to consider is the base being played for their holiness? I've seen my fair share of posts right here on FR saying ...well if he did x I won't/can't vote for XXXX. And if this attack on Cain is coming from the right, then they are counting on an unforgiving nature of the base.
In my mind, this makes the person who executed or orchestrated this attack actually holding that quirk alluded to in the article and a far worse candidate.
