“We want to move on with the campaign. Let’s get over these things that don’t mean anything to the American public,” Mark Block, Cain's campaign manager, told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on Thursday afternoon.

Poor choice of words, Block.

[RexBeach]

Thank, “Mr. Elephant.”

The MSM is really trying to model this into a huge scandal.

I don’t see it.

Meanwhile, Bubba got to stay in the Oval Office after admitting that he had received sexual favors from a young lady not much older than his daughter.

OMG.

[sam_paine]

Block’s not even aware of the first rule, “stop digging.”

[Guenevere]

Only you and the Los Angeles Times think so.

The rest of us have already moved on.

[altura]

Too little, too late, Block.

You’re in deep doo doo, don’t keep digging.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Hahahaha! He’s leading in the polls and collecting MILLIONS in fundraising since this happened. KEEP DIGGING is what it looks like they should do...

[Berlin_Freeper]

Cain, Rove and Rice going to be on Hannity.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Been over to RealClearPolitics lately to look at the polls? Oh, and I understand that he’s raised about $2 million dollars since this “scandal” broke in Politico. Governors Romney and Perry might want to try and manufacture some kind of sex scandal about themselves. Just sayin’!

Oh, and Speaker Gingrich just passed Governor Perry in the polls.

So Herman had a bimbo eruption.

BFD

[smoothsailing]

Herman Cain’s campaign appears to have pulled the plug on blaming Rick Perry for the swirl of accusations surrounding the candidate.

How convenient. Smearing a fellow candidate is no big deal in Hermanville, apparently.

[normy]

Oh? So Block can just smear a man whose whole livelihood relies on his integrity, Cain is right in on it too, and as it goes nowhere Cain and Block can just say "move on".

Cain and Block are lowlifes for this move. This was purposeful attempt to drag Perry down for something Cain should have already handled. He tried to shift focus to Perry and now that it's out he was lying its time to move on?

In their rushed attempt to change the story they could have destroyed Anderson's career if Anderson hadn't handled it so graciously. He gave all media outlets cart blanche to investigate his part in this mess.Only then did Block and Cain back off.

[rawcatslyentist]

Maybe put some Clearasil on that.

[dforest]

I don’t see that Block let up on Perry campaign, he let up on Anderson.

Meanwhile, Bubba got to stay in the Oval Office after admitting that he had received sexual favors from a young lady not much older than his daughter.

Bubba got to stay in the Oval Office after lying under oath about sexual favors he received from a young lady tramp not much older than his daughter.

Hahahaha! He’s leading in the polls and collecting MILLIONS in fundraising since this happened.

Christine ODonnell collected a lot of money too, now she's running around chasing reality shows or something, no?

[RitaOK]

So did Herb also lie about vetting his picadillos with Anderson, back during his failed 90’s campaign? Anderson says he found out about it all through Politico not from Herb. Serial lying going on here and I found Anderson convincing, far more than the Herb kabuki. This is the same guy who told us there were no skeletons in HIS closet coming forward. What a crock.

[dirtboy]

I am leaning towards Cain. That does not mean I won’t call out him or one of his aides when they say or do something stupid.

People who support certain other candidates have their panties in a twist over this, Cain supporters seem not to care. I think a lot of Americans these days understand that false allegations or at least overly sensitive women in the work place are not that uncommon. If people in Cain’s own party don’t form a circular firing squad (quite possible) I suspect this will blow over.
