What was his abortion goof? I understood exactly what he was saying.

As for his other alleged goofs: If they were in fact goofs, his star should be fading. No? Instead, despite a recent desperation poll showing Romney leading, Cain’s star continues to ascend. Why is that? I think it is because the man has demonstrated he is so much more than a quibble here or a quibble there.

All real leaders make mistakes because assuming leadership is a risk. Great leaders are not discarded because they are far greater than the sum of a few mistakes along the way.

“Gotcha” politics and an expectation of perfection in presidential candidates is exactly what keeps most otherwise good people out of politics.

Oh, and how about the other Pubbie/conservative presidential primary candidates? Are you implying they’re more perfect than Cain—that they are not making “mistakes”?

Let’s see, we have Romney saying he can’t prove man-made global warming is real, but he believes in it. That should have been fatal. The we have Perrywinkle saying that people who don’t believe illegal alien children are entitled to free schooling are “heartless”. Should have been fatal.

Ya know, if you’re gonna apply an impossible to meet standard to Cain, it should apply to all candidates equally.

I think my meaning may have been misconstrued here. I'm not laying out an impossible standard...My point was that the enemy and its media are looking for soundbites to wreck his candidacy.
