YES! ... Block must go, yesterday not soon enough
I won’t say if Block should go. But Block can’t go.
Cain has no public office record. He has little to show on how he would surround himself with competent people to make up for the areas in which he has no experience, which are many.
If he fired Block, it would be an admission that, in his first real decision he had to make as a public official, he picked the wrong person.
Some might argue that he also picked people for his senate run. But he lost that race pretty soundly.
While we’re at it, can we demand POLITICO fire their chief of staff for allowing that Kardashian kid, or whoever the hell he is, to remain on their web site listed as a “reporter” when he no longer is employed?
I mean, they’re a NEWS site, right? And they cannot even get their own STAFF pages accurate? Makes one wonder what else on their site is totally wrong.
I don’t think Cain wants to reprise the Obama Model where everyone goes under the bus the second they become politically inconvenient.
I think the smoking ad was terrific. Personally, I gave up smoking 50 years ago. But I really liked the way it kicked political correctness in the face.
As for the Perry blame, that was probably a mistake. But there was (and still is) some reason to suspect that Perry may have had some input. There are connections. No, the charge shouldn’t have been made without more proof, but it wasn’t totally out of bounds.
I agree. If Mark Block is as good as he seems to be in most of his work, then it would be foolish to throw him under the bus because the liberal press is complaining about him.
Cain will make it or not make it on his own efforts. And presumably Block will be a bit more careful about making similar charges in public. Maybe he can use proxies and distance himself a bit, like most of the other political operators do!
Party members who don’t believe in social issues and support a given candidate (Romney) opposed to Cain will be using material developed by liberal MSM this to advance their guy..
Charlie Sykes a conservative talk show host at Milwaukee’s WTMJ am 620 8:30 till noon daily slot has spent his second week setting a segment of his time going after Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff as arrogant,and inept and warns Block will wind up embarrassing Cain because of Mark Block’s alledged mishandling of funds here in Wisconsin ..
Sykes citing some personal problems he’s had with Block opened up on Block 10/26/11 and claimed the ad depicting Block smoking a cigarette was pure ego and the focus would be on Block. Sykes is the kind of guy who doesn’t see smoking bans as a goverment intrusion.
Now Sykes was very helpfull in uncovering the shenanigans of the WDPO (Wisconsin Democratic Party Operatives) and to a great extent highly influential when Wisconsin voters went to the polls and threw out the democrats state wide.
Without his efforts the Wisconsin result may have turned out differently .
But Sykes is a middle of the road eliteist. A kind of Repbulican Blue Blood. He may claim he isn’t but he is.
Sykes is one of several talk show hosts and RINOS who are infulenced by MSM positions particularly on social issues. When the subject of the Keyes vs Obama race for Illinois US senator, Deleware’s O’Donnell or the Nevada Sharon Angle US senatorial races comes up he will decry the conservative position on social issues these candidates took ..
Sykes will never bring up the disasters in California where most of those statewide and US candidates took middle of the road positions and sunk like lead balloons to the bottom of the water closet.
While not yet openly endorsing Romney, in the 08 presidential Sykes endorsed NY mayor Rudy Giuliani . Sykes was almost a loss for words when Romney refused to reply to the Ohio union question raised by a reporter. Needless that lack of support went as they say viral. In fact Sykes reaction was amusing to those who loyally follow him but have a pretty good idea where this Charley is comming from.
Yeah; Block has done a terrible job, as evidenced by Cain’s weak performance in polling. /sarc/
