Last night on the Impact Segment of the OReilly Factor Dick Morris explained to Bill OReilly that Herman Cain needs to know that time is on his side -- that the sexual harassment charges will be forgotten in a week or two if he is patient that time is the way to fight this. Morris, recalling his Bill and Hillary scandal days, said he was in Europe when Bill Clinton called saying he was getting hit simultaneously with the draft question and the Jennifer Flowers affair.
Morris said he told Bill that the draft thing would kill him but the Flowers thing wouldnt. He told him to get out there with Hillary and do an interview with the press (which they did with the famous 60 Minutes interview). Morris assured them it would end the story and that the draft story would die too. Morris seemed to feel Cain's accusations about Rick Perry were okay because he was on the defensive.
Morris explained that a well handled scandal can insulate Cain eclipse future problems with the presumption of innocence unless theres a smoking gun. Morris was truly in his element, excitedly recounting this episode with the Clintons. He said that Hillary and Bill taught him that time is on your side, if you just let it play out. The smiling Morris was energized the political fire horse sharing his war stories and expertise. No mention that after Bill Clinton was elected all the other shoes dropped.
Suggesting that lessons learned from Bill and Hillary on how to handle sexual harassment charges, and that this could playing to Cains advantage over time, hardly made Cain look good.
Between the bizarre Mark Block appearance with Bret Baier and Dick Morris appearance on the OReilly Factor, it is clear that this story isnt dead.

...it's extraordinarily foolish for the Cain campaign to make this about anything other than an unfair attack on it by the media.
Nope, that's the perfect approach to take.

So you run your mouth.
I do not work for any political group or candidate but that never stops you from throwing that lie out there.

We all know that old trick....keep repeating the lie until people believe it’s true.

Only because you Perrywinkles keep it alive because there's nothing else good to report regarding freefall Perry. Herman Cain isn't fighting this charge effectively, so he's decided to turn the attack away from him and onto Rick Perry.
Everyone can see this tactic for what it is.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
As far as I can see, the Perry campaign is dead.
Romney, Cain and Gingrich are the only ones still standing. The media has been desperately trying to kill Cain this week -- I don't think they have succeeded. Gingrich is getting a new look from a lot of people, but there is no question that he has baggage (I for one am overlooking his baggage: he's too smart, and I cannot ignore him).
I think Cain is the best man in the race right now, with Gingrich being the only other real choice. As I see it, the media wants to destroy everyone but Romney (whom they will destroy later).
Of course, at the GOP convention, if everyone is looking hopeless, we could suddenly choose a dark horse candidate -- but it's been a long time since that approach has actually worked.

You are correct, I expect a few thousand post, where the perrywinkles try to put spin out saying the perry people had nothing to do with this story. No one will buy it, but they will try.

BO wins, out of all of these attacks, and that’s all that matters to the left.

The "few thousand posts" will be from Cain defenders attacking Perry (just as Cain has) because you have no other way to defended a candidate who can't seem to help himself.
I know, send him some more money. He likes that.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
The irony in this is the very people accusing Perry have themselves accused Perry of some pretty outlandish things. What goes around comes around. Maybe Cain should have released the story himself and declared it untrue before it got to this point. Nah its easier to blame someone else.

Everyone can see this tactic for what it is. As someone who, at one time, supported Perry, I can tell you that most of us do see the tactic for what it is: justified. Perry's fingerprints are all over this. Within 72 hours, this will turn into much less about Cain and will have Perry on the defensive trying to spin his baseless attack on a fellow candidate through a smear campaign. I'll call a spade a spade: Perry is dead wrong on this and in it up to his elbows.

So you're doing this all for free?
You post so many threads that I keep expecting to see one that says
"Hello Dearest Friend, my name is Rick, and I am writing to ask you to help me get a vast fortune out of a security company's vault in Lagos Nigeria, my close friend died and placed the sum of 7 million dollars into a trunk now being held by heartless Nigerian rebels, knowing I need this money to re-ignite my almost dead presidential campaign. If you will help me retrieve these funds, I will share 20 percent with you (subject to my flat tax proposal), may God bless you and your family, Sincerely Rick"
C-Wife? You're at least good for a morning chuckle with my coffee.

Rudy Giuliani just didn't work out for you in 2008.
Now Perry is following the same trajectory.
You sure can pick ‘em.

It didn't take long. A few 'non-debates' where they call each other names and then some crazy opposition research to lynch Cain, a magazine cover making Bachmann look like an empty-head fool, some rambling incoherent sound bites by Perry, and the entire GOP field looks like a bunch of circus clowns!!!!!!!!!
These morons are the best we have to offer in America???? Get some perspective here boys. You're backing losers!!!!! This is already a major disaster. The lamestream media once again demonstrates that it can pick our candidates for us any time they want! I'm embarrassed by the entire field. Sitting this one out! Pathetic!
