I don't give a hot damn about any of this trash!!
Ya know, JF, I didn't care about any of the previous bimbos either. That's because by the time they hit the fan I had more or less already written Cain off as a non-serious candidate. Oh, sure, I still thought that he was correct in most (if not all) of his principles even if he had a rather clumsy way of communicating them at the time. But what eventually pulled me out of his camp was the growing evidence that he didn't want to be president badly enough to learn the basic policy positions. His frequently offered answer to mildly difficult (and sometimes easy) questions, "I'll have top experts advise me..." is not what I am looking for in a leader.
So...I wasn't really interested in the previous round of very weak allegations against him.
And, truth be told, I'm not really interested in this allegation either for the very same reason.
But, that said, this allegation seems to be different. It seems authentic. The phone records are damning. The non-denial statement by his lawyer is damning. The accuser's reasons for coming forward have the ring of truth to them. If her story holds up (and I think it probably will) then Cain is finished. And I don't mean just in the nomination race. This kind of very public revelation can be devastating for every aspect of a person's life.
I see all this as good, though, for the nomination process. What doesn't kill our candidates will make them stronger. It's a proper vetting that the Dingus never got and can't get now. That President Downgrade hasn't been vetted leaves him wide open to a challenger publicly demanding that his past be revealed. I don't know if anyone will ever demand that but they could. And should.
What I am wondering right now is just how much more is unknown about Gingrich and when will it come out. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
