If that was your point then we actually agree. Anything leaked to the media at this point regarding Cain was more likely from the Republican side. I think the Democrats would have LOVED to run against a novice like Cain - especially if they knew about the timebombs in his closet. And I'd still say we should thank anyone involved with leaking this information. Better we know now than in the middle of a general election campaign when there would be no way to undo a Cain nomination.
There is nothing "wrong" with me, thank you very much, I rather resent that. But whatever.
My apologies to you then. I was reading your post as an angry, bitter knee jerk attack at other candidates. I agree with you logic, though I'd say it is a very good thing we found about all this before any votes were cast.
Look, we don't know who released this stuff. Some may have come out the way lots of sleaze does - people that want their 15 minutes of fame. There is not necessarily any reason to believe there was any coordinated effort to knock Herman out of the race.
At the end of the day Cain simply had too many skeletons, with probably enough truth to them, to overcome. He bowed out the way all candidates with similar problems do, and with the same boiler plate statements - "the accusations are false", "my wife still loves me", "I'm still going to remain relevant", "the establishment is out to get me because of my ideas", etc, etc. That's all just a way to put a nice face on the fact he had sexually related scandals he couldn't get past.
That’s cool. Thanks for saying that. I can’t really disagree with anything in your post. It’s an unfortunate situation, but for Cain (and his handlers, if they knew) to not anticipate some degree of controversy just shows how unprepared he really must have been.
