While Newt Gingrichs unexpected rise to the top of the Republican primary ladder had taken the spotlight off of the numerous sexual allegations against Herman Cain for some time, but that problem came barreling back into headlines today as Cain himself broke the news of a new accusation: a thirteen-year affair.
On tonights Factor, Bill OReilly had some pessimistic remarks on the matter, wondering whether Herman Cain can survive any more of this.
Joined by panelists Leslie Marshall and Janine Turner, OReilly noted that on his program they were not going to get into this, meaning the details of the affair, but did note it is a legitimate question whether Herman Cain can survive any more of this.
The panelists expressed the same concern, as Turner noted that especially in a conservative race, its going to be tough, but that weve had wonderful leaders throughout the course of our history that were great thinkers that had affairs.
Marshall had a more optimistic approach, noting that things look bad but between now and November 2012 is a lifetime in politics.

” Youre a Perry partisan. “
And your point would be.......?????
Name anyone who cares?
I am a Perry partisan only on the days when I am not a Newt partisan. I am simply not for Cain. He has no experience for the job IMHO. He does have a fun personality and is very likable though.
That is pretty nasty but not uncommon for many Cain or sadly some former Palin folks here..the evolution of Palin zealots
Turner had her daughter rather than aborting her and her boyfriend decided not to live up to his responsibility during the pregnancy and she has gone it alone. The daughter is now 14
Yes she had premarital sex...I assume you never did...saint you are.
And she did not have an abortion, would you have preferred that?
That you think a woman getting pregnant outside of marriage and forgoing an abortion when the sorry man opts out is somehow equatable to the now myriad of allegations against McCain and that she is somehow precluded from any opinion demonstrates the utter madness that affects the partisanship of some here over their candidate.
You would have a better case remonstrating Bill O’Buttinski than poor Janine and woulda not heard a peep from me on that.
You are simply..wrong.
This is a lie. The bimbo claims there are 61 voice or text messages "to or from" Cain's alleged cellphone number, and this from a woman who recently lost a civil suit for harassment, partly because of her calling and texting activities.
Bwok, bwok, bwok, bwok, bwogawk!
Great analysis. I completely agree.
Go Newt Go.....
Please. Learn history:
And then again, when taking the measure of any Gingrich enterprise, one is obliged to count the number of personal items he'll be bringing on board. One can be pretty sure that they won't fit in the overhead storage bin. The two pieces of "baggage" that stick most conspicuously in memory, the one distant, the other just this month, were these. The first was when Speaker Gingrich lied about his adulterous affair just as he was impeaching Bill Clinton for lying about his adulterous affair.
***
This is why the Gingrich camp has taken to making the weaselly distinction that, unlike Clinton, Gingrich didn't lie "under oath."
As if the President holding a press conference and intoning the lie that "I did not have sexual relations with . . . that woman . . . Monica Lewinsky" is just chopped liver.
Typical, though. Get used to it.
Ouch. Good one.
God bless you, wardaddy. You’re as incisive as a laser as you are once again seen reconfiguring the BS meter. Thank you.
My point would be you are only on this thread to complain and criticize Cain.
Go cause trouble on a Perry thread.
The report “says”. Have you seen them? Do we know whether they were love limericks or “do you know whether Burger King is hiring”? I can say the same thing. If I came out tomorrow and said I had an affair with Herman Cain and I had “proof” I’d get air time too. Wonder if they’d actually as for the proof or spend days and days insinuating an affair and then after nothing was forthcoming say “oh well” and go onto the next thing. We used to expect people to PROVE what they say. Evidently we’ve become a nation of “the seriousness of the charge”. Unless you’re a democrat.

Yet they are saying plenty as they gloat over unproven allegations against Cain.
Either a stunning lack of self-awareness or monumental hypocrisy.
Oh wait.
There do not seem to be any Perry threads.
You had agreed that you wouldn’t post to me......so don’t.
I have read enough of your tripe in the past and I am not at all interested in your posts.
Thanks...
Yes, his lawyer said Cain would not discuss this with the media. So, why on earth did Cain go to CNN and asked to spreak to Wolf Blitzer. I heard Blitzer say he didn’t know what Cain wanted to discuss with him until several minutes before he interviewed him.
I don’t get this - Cain should have kept silent just as his lawyer said it was none of the media’s business.
OK, so maybe the woman is lying.
Sounds like you would need more evidence before believing the report. Hope you are right.
But, what about the carefully worded reply by the attorney? He doesn’t deny the relationship. Sounds like what an attorney would say after Cain admitted to him privately that he did have an affair.
See what I mean? If the attorney said, “These allegations are untrue.” Then it would be used against him in a possible court case.
Speaking of “chopped liver”, that is the old news you keep trying to peddle to delivery as if it still matters. Cain has not had time to get past his troubles, if they are even true.
Newt’s old marital troubles have been sudsed out, in public, back in the 90’s for crying out loud. His own daughter has clarified the condition of the marriage you lament.
The press never covered the facts, but got rich on all the innuendo, and Newt didn’t howl about it, or try to explain.
No one cares. Newt is happy now and it shows.
” There do not seem to be any Perry threads. “
Exactly. That is why I am sharing here. :)
on her phone bills and verified as his - many calls in the wee hours. Hard to explain that away.
And, evidently, she has record of the plane tickets he paid for - for her to travel to cities to meet him - while wife was home.
She's the one (wife) I feel sorry for. to learn your husband is a philander is one thing - but for it to be broadcast across the world will be hard to deal with...the kids too - even tho' they're grown.
Afraid this smoke is about to burst into flames.
His lawyer's statement was pathetic.
At this point, Maybe Cain could do the honorable thing and get out of the race - to save his wife and kids at least a modicum of safety from the unmerciful press.
We should all innundate the MSM with reports of our affairs with Cain.....
The media is going to tear Gingrich a new one in the next few weeks. They already started to do so until Gingrich shot himself in the foot with the amnesty bit. Thus, they turned their attention back to Cain. But, the Media will return to attack Gingrich (And Perry) if they make a comeback.
