Too much smoke. There’s gotta be fire there somewhere.
IF true...WHY do these guys run for national office with all these skeletons in the closet? How do they think this stuff won’t come to light and torpedo them?
I guess they see how little vetting the media does of the Democrat candidate and they think they can get away with it......too bad the rules don’t apply equally! If you are a Republican and you picked your nose in the first grade, expect it to be on the front page of the NYT. For a Democrat, you can literally kill a woman while driving drunk and be lionized for the next forty years!
I don’t understand it either,these women are coming out of the wood work.

Hubris.
Ego. But in the case of Cain I don't think he ever thought he was going to become a top tier candidate, much less the frontrunner with the scrutiny that brings. He was going to go out on the road, get some publicity, be a gadfly at debates, sell some books and enhance his pundit credentials for future media contracts.
I am supporting Herman Cain and he owes his supporters an explanation of exactly what his relationship was with Ginger White.
Right now if Herman Cain drops out of the race I have no one that I would avidly support.
If it's between Newt and Mitt, I think the less of the two evils would be Mitt.
Power.
People in positions of power, be it political, economic, or in the arts inevitably develop a sense of immunity; they begin to believe they can get away with anything.
Power is an incredibly powerful aphrodisiac, it has been observed, and I agree wholeheartedly.
Power not only attracts those who wish to possess it, it invariably seduces those who wield it.
