You really believe this whole thing is beneficial to the Cain campaign?
Oh, no- not what has transpired with the accusation—
But since that time, just putting the best possible spin, he could end up like Hillary in NH in 2008—(if my recollection is right). She lost Iowa to Obama, and the media was proclaiming her dead,she cried, the staged thing with the guys yelling “iron my shirts”— and she turned it around.
With cain, my sense is that he thought he was a goner, his money was drying up— but now, reportedly, he’s starting to get more contributions. His accuser took her best shot, but seems to have no proof. People like a guy who can take a punch— he said as much on Cavuto (something like, most GOP guys fold tent when the media smears them, I don’t intend to let the media and elites do that to me)
People like a fighter- The tea party people like the guy who will fight the media and the elites. This situation gives him the opportunity to be judged on an entirely different basis-—someone who won’t surrender to the establishment tactics.
Democrats stood by Clinton hell or high water for 1 main reason-—he give it to the Pubs and didn’t take any crap. He beat them every time. So, they didn’t care, what the heck he did wrong- they stuck with him.
So, if Cain does that same thing- just fights tooth and nail against the establishment-—yes- I think it will benefit him.
Aren’t you glad you asked, Joe ???? -:)
