Nah. My advice up to know has been shut up to anonymous accusers. Unfortunately, someone showed up with a face. Now he needs to go directly at it, take questions, and have a consistent story that won’t have to be walked back or modified in coming days. A “the media is against me story” is good for fundraising, but won’t stop the bleeding.
Listen, I hate to break it to you, but Cain handling this poorly makes ALL conservatives look bad. This crap is burying our message. It has to be nipped in the bud.
What is “our” message? Do all candidates have the same message? Did it have any bearing on the Cain-Gingrich debate? How about any of his campaign stops (press excluded because they want to gin this up)? Perhaps you should be more worried about why (whatever candidate you support) isn’t getting more traction. The top 3 are Romney, Cain, Gingrich. The others have pretty much stayed in the bottom tier, in single digits in most polls. So Cain leaves (allowing the media to chase him out with his tail between his legs...he doesn’t strike me as that kind of a person). Next one up is Newt. They trump out his baggage. He goes. We’re left with Romney. The lower tier candidates are simply too flawed to gain traction. They’ve been considered by conservative primary voters and dismissed. I don’t want to end up with Romney by default because we fell into the rumor and “seriousness of the charge” crap again.

I’m sorry but you’re an idiot.
