No.
Perry is deficient in many ways, and I do not like him, but he is an excellent politician, and he would do something like this in a heartbeat.
So would Romney.
Shame on all of them.
You think that doing this is “excellent politics?
Please explain why.
The truth always comes out sooner or later about these things and if the stories are pure BS, it will be the smearing side that loses out.
And even if it isn’t, voters have had it up to their eyeballs with sleazy politics. I predict no change in support for Cain or possibly some gains due to sympathy.
If a Republican set the scam up, he had might as well quit the race the same day.
Being an excellent politician means like being an excellent hit man, eh. In this case it would be. And it’s why Cain, as the only non-politician, has thus far transcended any “lack of experience” concerns (and it’s why Obama did in 2008, too). No political alliances in his past to trip him up, and no experience committing dirty politics.
