Yeah, Cain should have investigated all the candidates so that he was aware of their property holdings well in advance. /s
No, but he shouldn't have been so quick to pile on and pull out the "race card". A more measured response, along the lines of "On the surface, this looks bad. However, I have a hard time believing that Gov. Perry would be involved in such insensitivity, so I'll withhold comment until I have a chance to review all of the facts."
That type of response doesn't jump the gun, but still leaves him open to critique Perry later if the facts did indeed come out against him.
No, Cain shut have said, I don’t know the facts surrounding this claim, so I won’t comment yet. No, he’d rather just do the Al Sharpton thing.
