In more than two dozen interviews with tea party activists mingling at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach Saturday, there was overwhelming consensus: Herman Cain is the preferred candidate, though Newt Gingrich also is growing on them.
Over and over again, people dismissed the significance of sexual harassment allegations against Cain when he led the National Restaurant Association in the late 1990s. No accuser has been named, they said. No specific wrongdoing has been identified. The news media are hyping a story without much to it. Settling frivolous complaints is common in any business.
Things are looking good!
We HAVE to take the lead in ignoring this stupid story and pushing for Cain. I think there’s way too much looking ahead to the general election, which is why Romney (somehow) is the candidate prefered by country-clubbers.
If we MAKE Cain a viable candidate he will BE a viable candidate. And when (I hope) he and Obama debate? Oy, I may actually feel a microscopic trace of sympathy for poor Obama, looking like a lost child up there trying to deal with a man who doesn’t think he’s so wonderful (the way McCain did).
Wiser people at the convention than the one who wrote this story.
