The end of Herman Cain's campaign

[RecycleMichael]

He's leading the polls.  Whomever initiated this smile-storm is probably scratching their head right now because it appears to have back-fired.

He has gone from 31% to 18% in two weeks. He has dropped to 15% among likely voter women.

Then there is the fact that the other two have been proven to have lied - one admitted so in a sworn court document.

Did they lie when they said they lied?

Did they lie when they said they lied?

Well, who knows - but their actions throughout and other testimony would imply not.

If the internet and media had been as active twenty years ago as it is today, Clinton would not have been elected.

But times have changed. People have options to get their news and innuendo now.

Sucks to be Herman Cain. Just because Bill Clinton got away with bad behavior two decades ago doesn't mean Cain should.

He is toast.

I disagree.  His fund-raising is up and unless someone can come up with anything substantiated and corroborated, this issue is fizzling out. 

I don't think there's much hysteria amongst his supporters because most people realize a sexual harassment claim can arise from something as simple as telling someone you like the way their hair looks or if they catch you looking them up and down, or misunderstanding an invitation to dinner when they don't realize your significant other is coming along.

Secondly, Gingrich is rising in the polls, too.  People figured he would be an early drop out because of his marital issues.  What this is telling me is  the evangelicals in the GOP hate Obama so much they will be willing to hold their nose and vote for a philanderer or suspected philanderer before they would vote for a Mormon or Obama.

Hate the sin.  Love the sinner.  Hate the other faiths and mixed races.

[Hoss]

What does that say about evangelical Christians?  Sure don't act very Christian-like...

Sure is a whole lot of hate for such an "accepting" religion, eh?

Eh, it's a choice.  They're not born that way.

No that's what they say about teh gheys

[Teatownclown]

He doesn't make much sense to me:

This comment is not directed at anyone in particular.

I don't understand how so many people still fall for the Presidential politics soap opera.  How many times do you have to go through this cycle before you wake up.  Voting for Republican vs. Democrat party nominee candidates is like voting for whether you're going to have your hand chopped off or foot chopped off and then being told you're free because you got to decide.  The Hermanator is an ex head of the Kansas City "Federal" Reserve that is here to save us by putting the IRS in charge of a national sales tax!!??   Are you kidding me?  Ok, I gotta take a breath before I start ranting.

He's not supposed to make sense to you.  You're a liberal.

Clinton not elected?  He was running against H. W. Bush who had raised taxes, sparking the ire of people ignorant to financial realities.  And then against Bob Dole - decent guy who was not charismatic in any way, shape, or form.  Neither had a chance against Billy Bob.

If what you say applies, then how is Newt Gingrich resurgence explained...the guy who had the 10 year whore, then dumped the old wife to marry her.
