You know, I am Herman’s age, and I can not remember what I had for breakfast yesterday. If you asked me details of me getting grilled by the boss, there is no way I would remember 15 years back. Wait till you get in your 60’s.

Memory is the 2nd thing that goes! And I can not rememeber what was the 1st.

I can (remember what the 1st AND 2nd thing to go is as I have just celebrated--or rather, acknowledged it--my 68th) and that is every time I try and read something with small print and can't find my reading glasses....and

I'm reminded of the 2nd thing to go....every time I have to look for (which unfortunately is not that often) my "little blue pills." lol

This whole thing warrants a big fat “BFD”

Is this really the best they’ve got on Cain?

It’s beyond lame.

You know, I am Herman’s age, and I can not remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.

Agreed. Over the years my memory has slipped. I can't remember how much I paid for all my sexual harassment settlements either. I'll have to ask my wife. I bet she forgot too.

Just another smear campaign. That's all this is.

Uh-oh. Baggage./

[tnlibertarian]

Holy crap, it’s Night of the Concern Trolls on FR this evening.

[Rona Badger]

Has anyone ever identified the accusers yet? I've not seen pics or names anywhere.

No, but hang on two minutes and we'll have their Google map coordinates along with makes/models of their luxury cars in the driveway, no doubt bought with the millions made from suing Herman Cain twenty years ago. /s

Well a difference of opinion is what makes a horse race..I have no problem with how he handled it...but the democrats are probably involved somehow...October surprise, they almost didn’t make it.. There is an outside chance it came from some lefty republicans but I doubt it. Romney came to mind, but Karl Rove has been bad mouthing Cain for a while and just the other day said Cain was toast....maybe he knew what was coming....

[jessduntno]

Come on MSM, give us some more mud on the wall, we’ll take care of the rest..........

Heh heh heh ... “OK, men...circle the firing squad!”

When you start talking about putting ice on it or playing hide the Havana, then maybe, just maybe you might have baggage.

Bill Clinton and Larry Sinclair have set the bar mighty high!

[federal__reserve]

because yesterday’s breakfast is not important.

What is important is CORE BELIEFS. You never lose those. I am still following the same principles which I have followed all my life.

A good president is NOT a micro manager. Example:Carter.
Reagan also had bad memory but solid core values. A good president selects the direction he wants country to go. Ther are thousands of people in the executive branch to execute his orders.

Waiting for the big news tease headline, “Halloween Nightmare for Cain” to surface tonight.

[conservaterian]

Damn. I just now bought a Cain bumper sticker and yard sign. I’m not ready to trash them, but he has GOT to figure out an effective strategy, especially since he knows he’s in for a lynching by the left.

It's not the left, it's the Romney campaign. Oh..... wait a minute, you're right. Never mind.

[livius]

Apparently, everybody knew it was coming, including Cain. That said, I honestly don’t think this was launched by a GOPer, because it could always be turned against them if the Dems discovered it. To me, it screams OBAMA.

There’s a level of personal spitefulness here that I think is typical of him.

[trisham]

Generally speaking, I would guess that only those who were already anti-Cain will use this story to buttress their positions. Most of that group on this site appear to be either Perry or Romney supporters.

One of the things that I like about Cain is that he realizes that his real opponent is Obama.

[Mad Dawgg]

Well see my B.S. Meter is pegged into the red. If this was really a big deal wouldn't someone know the name of the accusers?

I got a feeling it may have been one of those get rich quick deals some asswipe lawyer rolled the dice on.

[WellyP]

I really smell ROVE behind this, somehow. It's just to early for the Dems, to shoot their wad!

[goat granny]

good one. Cain found out going begging for candy...

[livius]

Yeah, but he has to be smart enough and well informed enough to come up with the orders in the first place. Reagan had years of experience in doing this, while Cain has none.

But you’re making Cain sound like Joe Biden, and I’m not sure that’s a selling point...

[Tribune7]

Cain's weakness is that he doesn't think things through before speaking and gets himself tripped up by assuming people understand what he means.

Just the same, Rock on Herman.

I'm still for Perry, though.

[Rona Badger]

Heh... man, talk about much ado!!
