I think the subject is a big ‘yawner’. And I think the American people are sick and tired of this sort of gossipy material. The MSM has worn out this tactic.

Does Bill O’Reilly mean like Palin didn’t survive being governor, because the law suits were driving her to the poor house, plus the law suits took up so much time, she couldn’t do her job?

How much longer are conservatives going to take this without putting up a better fight!

Turner noted that “especially in a conservative race, it’s going to be tough,” but that “we’ve had wonderful leaders throughout the course of our history that were great thinkers… that had affairs.”

Well, Janine. Did you ever marry the father of your children?

Either Cain is the biggest tramp in the world or the marxists are scared to death of him.

Well. I guess according to BillO, we just need to find 5 women to claim past advances by Obama and he is automatically guilty and cannot be elected next year.

I don’t think I watch Bill O’Reilly anymore.

Yup, indeed.

I don’t. Haven’t for about a year now. He’s boring.

In Cain’s defense to this point there is no evidence. Just her word against his and she has some baggage herself like that bimbo Gloria Allred put forth. Let’s just sit back and see what develops if anything. We all know that there are those on Free Republic who are supporting their own candidate and will jump on the band wagon with some smears of Herman. Screw Bill O’Reilly.

Where was O’Reilly in the nineties???????? Look who survived rape and oval office masturbation and cigar tricks and semen dresses. Sheeesh....and he thinks that the latest “allegations” against Cain mean anything????

MSM needs to realize they have lied so much—nothing they say matters....like they said in the 90’s....it’s PRIVATE BEHAVIOR.

“Herman Cain can survive any more of this.”

Heck, I am not sure he is even going to survive this event, let alone “more”.

Well O-REilly managed to survive his TWO MILLION DOLLAR settlement for talking dirty on the phone to an assistant. The bonehead was recorded. So there was a dress.

I think this is about the 20th time OReilly has said this about Cain.

My personal belief is that Herman Cain has not been telling the truth and has in fact indulged in affairs, sexual harassment and groping as alleged. I believed that when the charges first came out and I have so posted and predicted that additional charges would emerge. I depart from most conservatives in regarding sexcapades as relatively unimportant and not particularly revealing of a candidate's character as it relates to his capacity to serve in office. That is not to say that these charges do not have a profound effect on electability.

As a practical matter I believe we are witnessing the end of the Herman Cain campaign and the question for Mr. Cain personally now becomes how to make a graceful exit. Apparently some remarks he made to the effect that he would stay in the race unless it damaged his family could be the early preparations for such an exit.

For us armchair pundits the question becomes who will get Cain's support? The obvious answer is Gingrich who is now ahead in the last four nationwide polls listed in Real Clear Politics. It does not seem likely that Herman Cain's support would go to Romney for ideological reasons. It is possible that either Santorum or Bachman could get a portion of the Cain people but it is unlikely in view of their inability to gain traction in general. So I think it is a safe bet to say that Gingrich will get a plurality if not the majority of Cain's supporters.

How does this affect the races on the ground? Romney is ahead in New Hampshire when he has two very difficult problems to contend with. First, he is on the wrong side of the expectations game and if the does not win decisively in New Hampshire he loses. So even a win for Romney by a plurality or a slim majority is a loss.

Second, Gingrich has momentum and he has increased that momentum through the endorsement of the New Hampshire Guardian newspaper which is a very significant endorsement because of the peculiarities of that newspaper in Hampshire. It is a statewide organ and it will repeat its endorsement on the front page from now until the primary vote, often attacking Romney. Eight Republican state legislators have just come out and endorsed Gingrich which further adds to his momentum.

After New Hampshire Romney faces a daunting challenge in South Carolina where he is behind Gingrich. I suppose his battle plan had been to take momentum which he expected to generate in New Hampshire into South Carolina. The problem for Romney is that you must maintain the aura of inevitability which is closely connected to an image of electability in order to prevail. He is not a favored choice of the conservative wing of the Republican Party who will consent to him as the nominee only reluctantly. They will do so only if they believe it is a question of electability and they will do so only if they think they have no other viable alternative. If Romney betrays vulnerability, he is finished. If he betrays questionable electability, he is finished.

The way it is now clear for Gingrich to perform at least credibly in New Hampshire and prevail in South Carolina. I believe by the time he has to go to Florida he will have enough money to engage in the air war necessary in that big state. He is apparently raising a lot of money now. If Newt can continue to put together a ground game in the important primary states he has a clear path to the nomination.

I was on the Cain train when most here were waiting for Palin to announce. But I’m off now. Too much smoke here, among other things.

I think voters MAY stick by Herman. I will vote for the most conservative candidate with the best chance of winning. That could be Herman, it could be Perry. I do NOT trust this Gngrich surge, I smell a McCain/media foisting.

I’m sorry, but I have to sink his bid for the GOP.

I know a friend who has a second cousin that will testify that she saw Herman Cain pick his nose when he was 4 years old!

If it is "alleged" to be true, but it turns out that it is not, then we have to draw a line in the sand and put a stop to this one-sided politics of personal destruction once and for all.

The question is how to begin? The answer is to deny the allegations and offer proof either way.

I'll wait for the proof. Allegations only play to agendas.
