I like Perry. I have no clue about who released this information about Cain and I frankly do not see that it matters. The only way I could understand Cain being angry about this is if the accusations and payouts never happened. If the NRA did pay to settle complaint(s) against Cain, then he knew he had a potential problem and should have had a plan to deal with the release of this information effectively. Negative information about a candidate is supposed to come out in the vetting process. My problem with the current Cain drama is that his team acts like what I think is an easily predictable event was totally unexpected. All candidates know what is in their own past and if there are any problematic areas, they should be prepared to deal effectively with the release of negative information and mitigate any damage to their candidacy. If his team knew about it and is reacting this way then they are very unprofessional. If Cain never told them about the accusations and settlements then he showed bad judgment to think it would stay buried A couple of months ago a Ron Paul supporter in Austin offered money to anybody with knowledge of Rick Perry having any affairs. If it had turned out that Rick Perry was hiring hookers do you think I should have been angry at Ron Paul for bringing that to light, or disappointed with Perry? I have been reading for months that this will be the dirtiest, most vicious election ever. Obama has a billion dollars to spend and he cannot run on his record of failure. His only hope to win is by making his opponent look dirtier and more corrupt than he is. His whole strategy will be to dig up and make up dirt on his opponent and try to smear him or her to death. Do you think the Obama goons would not have found out about this with that kind of money to spend on opposition research? For all I know, one of his minions is behind this release. I think that it is better that this came out now than if Cain had won the nomination and it came out next October. As I stated, I like Perry and I hope he wins the nomination but in the end I will vote for whoever the nominee is against Obama. I see this as an opportunity for Cain to show everyone how his organization handles adverse developments. I am less than impressed so far.
IMO if the truth were know it came from Obama Camp. Heard yesterday that they are focused on running against Romney.
Since Cain is polling ahead of Romney, Cain has to go.
That makes more sense to me than anything else.
Since POLITICO is a leftie site. WHY would the right go to them. NOPE, it had to be the Zero operatives that went to a FRIENDLY website. To bad Cain fell for it, and started attacking a fellow Repub. The zeros are getting a two-fer.
Although ROMNEY is awfully quiet.
