And therein the beauty of this whole thing. One party in effect caught in a trap and now gnawing off an arm hoping to extract itself from it's own devices. The Trap? Cain's a skirt chaser and Perry's being blamed and Romney's dancing with glee. Obamacare verses Romneycare, an anti-stater's dream election because I get to watch you people close your eyes and vote for the man who gave us Gov't Care in the first place so in effect have railed against Obamacare, you'll be voting for the man to lead your party who ultimately wrote the template for it.
No wonder democrats are so giddy and they should be because either way the bases are covered!
Absolutely true. While the allegations themselves were along time ago, the "trap" was the reaction that the "operatives" knew CAIN would apply. He walked right into it. He had no choice. A history of sexual harrassment that CAIN believed was "buried" in legal contracts made CAIN think he could deny the charges.
Problem with CAIN, and everyone knows, is that CAIN speaks before he thinks and his GOP rivals know this for a fact. CAIN in fact, wasted 10 days where he could have investigated the facts, work with his lawyer and devise some plan to deal with the charges, rather than come forward at the 11th hour and tell lies only to refute himself in the 12th hour.
CAIN isnt quick on his feet, and he's even slower with his mouth.
The GOP knew CAIN would handle the matter with a match in one hand and dynamite in the other. Now, the story grows and the truth will eventually come out and sink CAINS campaign. Floundering is what CAIN can expect to do over the next three weeks as this matter dips into legal challenges.
He should have NEVER criticized the women involved by calling them liars, golddiggers or opportunists. FOXED SPEWS helped him hurt himself by giving him AIRTIME intended to clear the record and get in front of the story only to place himself behind the 8 ball.
Now, the trap is set, the non disclosure agreements CAINS lawyers personally negotiated will be released and the women will speak. The "Other Side" (pun intended) will come out and destroy CAINs chances of continuing in the GOP race.
WK, you made a good analogy when you said " One party in effect caught in a trap and now gnawing off an arm hoping to extract itself from it's own devices."
If CAIN wants to save his dignity, he would withdraw today and call out the GOP candidates and the GOP process for ruining his chances at being elected.
There is a GOP debate coming up, and I would love to see both CAIN and PERRY standing next to each other! ALthough I still believe Romneys camp is behind this, Perry seems to be drawing all the CAINS camps heat for leaking this story to the press.
As for you CAIN supporters, good luck hanging on to this dream, its turning into a nightmare!
Peace.
