Is anybody surprised at this move. Remember, Herman Cain got taken out by the mere ALLEGATION that he had helped out someone who came to him with a hard-luck story, and it spun totally out of control.
When all else fails, try to pin a sexual misconduct story on the Republican officeholder. After all, it is the serious nature of the charge, not the factual content of the allegation, that is the important thing.
Of course, if similar charges are brought against a Democrat who is trying to defend his elective position, the charges are only a resume enhancement. Even John Edwards does not seem to be all that tarnished by his recent confrontation with the law.
remember the smear on Palin that Trig wasn’t her son
It was more than mere allegations with Cain.
