Not the least bit comparable. Cain was hit by a professional hit job. He had to be taken out and was (after I put a big chunk of my money into his candidacy). Unfortunately for him, he had undeniable problems.
This is not a scandal and has no chance of being a scandal. Driving fast is not a character problem and cannot be used for blackmail. What this is, is a love tap from the NYT designed to inoculate Rubio who is a safe RINO. It also inoculates the NYT who already attacked Walker, will attack Cruz, etc. That way they can look like they fairly attack everyone.
But make no mistake, the NYT would love to have Rubio as their patsy GOP candidate. Not as much as they would love to have Jeb or Crispy, but he's pretty high on their list.
Herman Cain was my first choice for the 2012 primary, unfortunately I could not vote for him because he got out before the primaries even started
