>>> No that’s not the way to go, that’s what you want him to do.
It’s what I would like to see... yes.
But you are right... It’s his game plan and not mine. I trust his judgment over my own on this.
I still maintain though that he won’t be able to ignore it away. I know how the media works, and Cain himself said in the debate with Newt that it is the media which has surprised him the most. We saw this coming before he was a significant blip on the radar screen. I do not believe that Cain has a full understanding of just what he is dealing with in the mainstream media, and the lengths they are willing to go to defeat him like this.
>>> Cain needs to keep distinguishing himself ‘above the fray’...he was doing just that until the ‘press pushed his buttons’ with this scandal and he hasn’t been able to turn them off yet.
Do not underestimate the media’s ability to keep pushing his buttons. Notice how they are already turning up the heat now with all the offensive gory details of the accusations. Cain MUST answer this with a challenge for her to put up or shut up... and he can start with demanding a polygraph. Otherwise, the charges will stick. Just like they did with Thomas. The difference with Thomas was that he only had to get through 50 senators to get confirmation. Cain has to win votes from the general public.
Happy to see Cain’s cmpaign responded on his behalf... full of his political points while only touching briefly on the latest scam. Way to go! Point for Cain, Maybe he’s FINALLY getting it.
...No doubt from those who are advising him why he can’t continue to fight the press or let this take his oxygen out of the room as he has been doing.....I hear he spent about two hours with Newt about this.
