The end of Herman Cain's campaign

[Red Arrow]

I am now offering odds against Herman Cain being the nominee. I will give out six to one odds against.

If Herman Cain comes out of the republican convention as the nominee, I will pay all who accept this wager six bottles of Marshall's beer. When Herman Cain drops out of the race, you will lose one bottle of Marshall's beer to me.

This offer good for 48 hours from now.

Have you already bought the 6-pack?  Would the beer I "lose" come from that same 6-pack?

(You can probably guess I'm not much of a gambler.  )

The Teahadist/GOP Cain wreck.....

You really think this guy is not a token member of the GOP contenders?

[RecycleMichael]

No. I will buy the beer the day he is the nominee. That would be August 30th, 2012.

[Teatownclown]

No need to wait for the ole smoking pubic hair....

Cain's not on the right side of this issue..... 

I really was hoping he'd get the nomination....him or Ricky. Now, you get RomneyCare.

This is not Presidential material...at least POTUS Obama came forward with a speech on race when right wing nuttery attacked him for his Church and his skills as a neighborhood organizer. Cain pushes out his attorney during a crisis. You'd think the GOP/Teabaggers would have paraded out Condi instead of this Uncle Tom but she must not be Koched up enough....

Are you saying Cain should have immediately played the race card?

Disingenuous comment, RA. The race card was laid down by the GOP....candidate Obama merely took a brave way through it.

Are you defending Cain't?

I don't care at this point who laid down the card on Obama.  It was wrong then and wrong now.  It sounded like you are saying Cain should use it now.  Perhaps I misread you.

I don't know whether Cain did what he is accused of or not.  I am always suspicious of anything Gloria Allred is involved with.  Why does Cain, or anyone, have to prove their innocence rather than the accusers proving him guilty?

Uncle Tom?  Ease up on the racism, clown.  

Anyone else notice the track this has taken?  All the accusers we know of now are white.  What's more repugnant to the stereotypical bigoted male conservative?  Interracial relations and black men with great sexual prowess.  This is the lowest level of gutter politics.  

Her story gets worse as it goes on.  Who here can remember what they were wearing on a particular night a couple of weeks ago (Okay unless you were in a Tux or wedding dress) much less 14 years ago?  

Interesting coincidence: She lived in the same apartment building as David Axlerod.  For someone who seems to have a passive interest in politics, why would she have a clue who he was?

She's filed bankruptcy twice, she's got two tax liens filed on her property, she was sued for paternity(come on what woman is ever sued for paternity?) The only two people she ever told until now were two men.  Most women would not have confided in a male, but rather a female if such a thing had happened.

Google your own links if you doubt the veracity of those statements, they do exist.

This is an easy kill for whomever started the accusations here.  None of the claims can be corroborated, but they can count on the media as willing accomplices to focus on even the most slightly salacious detail and blow it out of proportion.  An MSNBC commentator is already saying Cain should have to register as a sex offender...

[RecycleMichael]

If you are so sure that these repeated scandals won't knock Cain out of the race, take my bet.

Trash the women all you want. When there is this many coming forward, it is hard for most of us to believe his story of innocence.

And now the other accuser that has come public has has a track record of filing discrimination/harassment cases against her previous employers. The "harassment card" is the only card that opponents can use against him, so I assume they will continue to capitalize on that.  I'm not completely convinced that this is just a Democrat conspiracy, but it does seem to be the standard course of action when a black candidate for office falls outside of Democrat control.  As Cain himself said back in October, he is prepared for attacks on his character because he "left the Democrat plantation long ago."

Through his flat denial and rejection of the accusations he has left himself open for a broadside, this is very brave and indicative of someone who is truly innocent.  One single fracture in his story will end his campaign, but on the other hand, inconsistencies in the tales of his accusers will make him stronger.

I love the new talking points about "trashing women" coming from the Dem scripts.  I seem to remember quite a machine for "trashing women" when President Clinton was in office.  In fact, it was beyond trashing.

Conan,

Think there are any women in your past that could be convinced they need to remember any indiscretions on your part?

I can well imagine someone could find at least one or two.

It would be not be unimaginable to find moral turpitude for vindictive or manipulative purposes in order to rectify a sociopolitical or psychological personal disorder issue.

And then again I am not running for public office.

And there would be many women in my past who could come forward to say I refused their offers on the grounds that I was in a committed relationship.
