Early in his candidacy, Herman Cain may have accepted tens of thousands of dollars in goods and services for his campaign from a tax-exempt organization founded by his top aide, documents from the organization show, raising the prospect of serious violations of tax and election law by both Mr. Cain’s campaign and the organization.
The documents suggest that the nonprofit organization, Prosperity USA, effectively subsidized some early costs of his presidential bid, paying for computer equipment, charter planes and air travel for Mr. Cain or the aide, Mark Block, who is his chief of staff.
Such expenditures would violate federal election and campaign laws, which prohibit tax-exempt groups from engaging in any political activity or contributing to election campaigns, a major problem for Mr. Cain. He spent much of Monday fending off accusations that he had sexually harassed two former employees of a trade association he once led.

The taxpayers have been subsidizing obama’s campaign since the day he took office. Next!
Keep those cards and letters coming!
My grandfather said to me that you can tell a man by the enemies he attracts.
Suffice it to say, having the Old Gray Lady nipping at your heels is enough to tell me that Cain must have something going for him.
“Another Question, This Time Financial, for Herman Cain”
WE DON’T CARE!!!!!
We have our man.
I have decided to worry about this as much as the MSM worried about Tony Rezko.
“He’s been riding high in the polls too long, let’s get him.”
Boogie man
Republicans are hounded until they admit guilt and resign or drop out.

““He’s been riding high in the polls too long, let’s get him.””
They figured he would sink, like the others. And if that were the case, they wouldn’t have to pull out their heavy artillery and aim it at a black man (something they’d prefer not to have to do).
But by waiting so long, Cain was given the chance to solidify his support...now that artillery may just not work, against a conservative block that is sick of being told who they must nominate.
If the NY Slimes were not smearing Herman Cain, then we would know the demonic Left did want him to run. Go Herman!
“WE DON’T CARE!!!!! We have our man.”
I figure it’s time to circle the wagons around him BIG TIME.
I found his web site and made a donation to his campaign a few minutes ago:

I like the way you think.
No problem!
Bet the sniping is coming from a Salt Lake City address...
I’ve noticed the media is keeping their powder dry on Mr. Cain’s cancer survival. You’ll know they’re serious about destroying his candidacy once those stories start cropping up.
They are terrified of Cain! This is all good.
“Boogie man”
The Boogie Man” is John Lee Hooker, not Herman Cain!
Can’t figure out why the dems are so scared.
They’ve seen polling we haven’t seen.
