Katrina Trinko over at the corner notes:

When talking to various social conservatives about Newt Gingrich’s personal baggage, there was a lot of willingness to forgive and forget. But there was no one who suggested that adultery was a personal matter voters shouldn’t be concerned about. It’s easy to see how this statement from Cain’s lawyer could alienate social conservative voters.

Unfortunately for you, His Slickness lowered the bar for everybody.

If it’s ok for His Slickness, it’s ok for Newt Gingrich, and it’s ok for Herman Cain.

For the record, I don’t believe Herman Cain cheated on his wife. His instant response to Blitz yesterday did not indicate to me he was lying.
