I really believe he has been in the POTUS race to get name recognition and make money. Serious candidates don't go off on book tours.
A member of Cain's staff has a history of campaign finance problems...banned in Wisconsin, I believe.
I really think that there is reason to suspect that you people who have sent him money have been financing a book tour and he has never intended to be a serious contender.
I think Herman Cain is on an ego trip on the Cain Train and I'm not going along for the ride! But, I am off on an over night road trip...will you miss me?
No.
Be sure to write.
One thing that this latest woman said about Cain in her interview was that “Herman Cain loves Herman Cain.” Like you, I felt he didn’t expect to be considered a serious contender, but did it sort of as a publicity stunt. But because people were so desperate for a blank slate upon which to project their dreams of a pure, innocent, cracker-barrel philosopher type of candidate, they seized on Cain and made him something he never expected to be.
This is not to defend him on the basis of his ignorance, however. I think he has handled this very badly and has cynically misled the people who trusted in him, and in fact, I was so angry at him when this latest woman stepped forward that I didn’t even want to post last night. I genuinely feel bad for the people who trusted him.
