Cain is putting this slip-up behind him. The fact is, in the initial interview he reacted to the MSM baiting him and did say that, based on the story he was told (which was more than misleading) that Perry showed a lack of sensitivity over a long period of time.

Now he has found out the truth. I believe he owes Perry an apology and perhaps he has already called him privatley and issued one...I do not know. I do know that he has said this in response now:

“They painted over it. End of story! I accept Gov. Perry’s response on that.”

We shall see if Perry has a response to Cain on this. But my guess is that both men will now simply move on from it. It was a trap set by the liberal MSM from the get go and for a couple of days it worked. Now we know the truth of it and if the libs bring it up again they will get slammed over it.

One thing I noticed that the libs never said ... when Perry was hunting back then, and clear up to 1999 or 2000, Perry was a DEMOCRAT. The story could actually easily be made to work against them if they keep pushing it.

My guess is that the MSM believes it has served its purpose to raise questions about Perry in some minds, and got a knee-jerk out of Cain that he had to back off of and thus look weaker himself.

That's what they wanted, to hurt both men, and at this point the best thing we can do, now that we are all armed with the truth, is simply move on and see what the primary races and battles bring.

In the end, the real adversary is this:


THE MAN WHO DESPISES AMERICA

I did my job. I posted the words Cain originally said. Which he now says he never said.

Obama and the Senate of Harry Reid has always been the target. I post that all of the time.

I don’t have to pretend that Cain is telling the truth when he isn’t, about his original words, in order to be on the right side.

Perhaps he needs to write an OpEd for the NYT or the WSJ so EVERYONE can run with it like they did Cain's upset over Perry's alleged "insensitivity" -- only Cain didn't give him the benefit of that HUGE doubt.
