Ben, and all, (you may know this I am sure), Capitol Hill runs this way: Most congressmen/women have an internal pollster, somebody who runs the numbers on various issues, trends, the so-called "internals". They look at these constantly like a weathervane. It is the key to their political survival, which for most of them--I don't care from which party, is "Job #1". What it is now telling them is this contrived Herman Cain character assassination-attempt cum "scandal" has been exposed as nothing more than a cheap smear by lib Dems, and that it has run its course. Sooooo, they do not want to be left out in the wind by giving a cold shoulder on Capitol Hill to the potential nominee to the Party who has been unjustly wronged. They are laying out their chits in advance. Tell ya what. If Herman seizes the nomination, LOTTTTTS of people who have detracted are going to "git religion" real quick, many of them here right on FR. You are starting to see the beginnings of this, they are accepting the inevitability that these liberal (and under the surface now doubt RINO/COP Establishment) arrows are bouncing off of hardened steel and are not penetrating the target for which they were intended.

PS Who is the puerile j*ckass who keeps tagging Cain stories with "Herb (sic) Cain". Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? I guess some Freeper's 12 year old kid somehow got the keys to the computer. Pathetic. Oh well, I guess it is the stress of falling hopelessly behind in the polls, gotta have an outlet somehow.
