Hopefully Cain learned a lesson from this. I liked Cain and I still do. It does however point out his lack of experience, which has been one of my few problems with him. This should have been a no-brainer. It was an amateurish mistake and it backfired as it should have.
Cain’s only failing was taking the bait, and not properly handling this.
It shows a lack of experience in politics, but I’m not prepared to call him a race-baiter over this. I’d expect that a 65 year old black man, who LIVED DURING the civil rights movement, when told that a rival leased land that was called “n-word-head” would think it insensitive.
Cain was my #2 pick...when he lied about Perry regarding soft on border...he isn’t even on my list. So here we have this rock bs and the gay bs...so it’s more than the rock bs...he is laying out a clear path of being an establishment man. Endorsing Romney in ‘08 was the first hint of that track.
Now Michael Steele is disturbed too, and I sit back and wonder why every black man seems to think this posturing is effective in politics on the Republican side. Big ole sigh.
