All the being said, we do ourselves no good when we deny the obvious..Cain has not handled this well. They had 10 days notice before Politico ran the story. What they should have done, IMHO..was hold a presser BEFORE the story ran, got it all out, which would have totally defused it..and but Politco on the defensive. They messed up. Block should not have been the one to be the point person on this..Get an accomplish, polished female to handle the press. There are many choices.Cain ain't the Pope..he's NOT infallible. And it shows..the biggest lesson.. that that despite running an "unconventional campaign, he'll need far more boots on the ground..polished political operatives..
There is no ‘good’ way to handle this crappola. It is like trying to convince people you have quit beating your wife.... What we should be doing is excoriating the media cycle jerks who promote this stuff. They treat everything like it is Kim K’s wedding/divorce news...breathless, all important, and can’t repeat enough rumor.
