The Cain Train is derailing again as yet another woman steps forward to proclaim having had a 13 year affair with married-man Herman Cain. This news can’t go over too well with the base. However, most are keeping a stiff upper lip.
Most people can get by with an indiscretion or two if and only if they haven’t bashed others over their marriage behavior. Cain has been a basher so he will have a harder time overcoming the long string of women who have voiced some form of impropriety.
Poor Rick Perry misspoke and said the voting age was 21. Give the guy a break. He misspoke. Picking at Perry over misstating the voting age is petty. His gaffe was small potatoes and very forgiveable. Perhaps the voting age should be 21.
Meanwhile, Newt equivocates and says he wasn’t a lobbyist because he didn’t need the money. He charged $60,000 a speech. Does this offend anyone? Mr. Sell a Speech. Make no mistake. Newt is an insider. Newt makes more per half hour than a truck driver in South Carolina makes in a year. Twice as much as a matter of fact. He makes $20,000more in that half hour than a registered nurse or elementary teacher makes in a year. There is just something wrong with his arrogance.
