Here’s what’s most damaging to Herman Cain
Things we have learned today about Herman Cain’s candidacy for president:
– It is quite plausible that Herman Cain harassed no one; clearly, not everyone accused of sexual harassment is guilty of that charge, and in the presumed absence of a smoking gun, we will never know for certain what transpired roughly 15 years ago. Even settlement payments don’t establish evidence of guilt.
– However, it is much less plausible that five-figure financial payments were made to each of the two women involved, as Politico reports, and that Cain, as CEO of the National Restaurant Association, knew nothing about such settlements, as he claims. That discrepancy could come back to haunt Cain, given that Politico claims to have seen documentation of the payments.
– This is not a case of character assassination or unfair treatment by liberal media. Any candidate for national office with such allegations in his or her past should expect them to become public at some point and should be ready to deal with them. It’s just a fact of life in modern politics.
– Politico reports that it had been attempting to get a response from Cain and his staff for 10 days before publishing its story. Yet despite that long time to prepare, Cain’s campaign has badly botched its reaction. It shows no sign of having crafted a strategy for how to deal quickly and forthrightly with the allegations, and that failure has compounded the damage.
(Case in point: The botched interview that Cain’s communications director gave to Geraldo Rivera Sunday night. Among other things, you don’t offer an initial national response to such charges via a telephone hookup featuring a relatively low-level staffer with no story to tell. You put the candidate himself on air and have him deal with it directly.)
– A campaign operation is always useful as an illustration of the type of White House a candidate would run if elected. Whatever you think of Barack Obama’s politics, he put together a highly professional, disciplined and effective ‘08 campaign that managed to defeat the vaunted Clinton political machine. Conversely, the impulsive nature of the John McCain campaign, from the decision to make Sarah Palin his running mate to his announcement that he was suspending his campaign during the ‘08 financial crisis, also reflected the candidate’s leadership style.
– Throughout his campaign, Cain has acknowledged that he is not a trained politician and does not have ready answers to many questions. Time and again, he has said that if elected, he would rely on a CEO’s style of leadership, which is to surround himself with good, competent, experienced people and take their advice on complex issues.
On foreign policy, for example, Cain has said that a president doesn’t need “to have extensive foreign policy experience if you know how to make sure you’re working on the right problems, establishing the right priorities, surround yourself with the right people, which would allow you to put together the plans necessary to solve the problem.”
– Cain, as a candidate, has not surrounded himself with good, competent experienced people. He has not demonstrated the ability to establish the right priorities or work on the right problems. Quite the contrary, as this example demonstrates, he has surrounded himself with rank amateurs who don’t know how to put together and operate a strong campaign organization.
The mishandling of the sexual harassment crisis isn’t even the most recent example of that failure. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports today that Cain’s chief of staff and deputy chief of staff may have used tax-deductible donations from a Wisconsin nonprofit that they ran to help finance Cain’s early campaign, which would be a violation of both tax laws and campaign finance laws. (Among other problems, tax-deductible donations cannot be used for political purposes.)
If true — and the documentation is extensive — it’s a mistake no serious candidate should ever make.
– In the end, even if you judge him by the leadership style that he himself has advocated, Cain has proved himself unqualified for the office that he seeks. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, and he clearly doesn’t hire people who know what they’re doing.

With our present tax system and smothering regulations for corporate business, I hope your figures are correct. Your post is certainly cogent in that we should re-light the fires and again compete. Let’s hope that the unions don’t get a foothold in that “prosperity”. If so, that light may dim.

What planet are you on? If the accused was some analyst he never met…… I’m with you but he was the accused and didn’t want to know anything?
Really?
Thanks for the belly laugh
I have ZERO evidence of his guilt so him saying I did nothing wrong………. Good for him

GLL : “The networks mentioned have been listed as leaning left by every single fair source. Perhaps you are just so far left that anything to the right of you, you consider conservative ”
Show me a network that features Chomsky and Olberman in prime time, and I’ll reconsider. As it is, only MSNBC hints at a radical left perspective, but even there it’s still establishment liberal, which is to say, center left at most on a wild hair day.

This Herman Cain speak is why he can’t be trusted to run anything outside of his campaign,( and that’s not going so well). But here is an example of his gobbleygook:
Asked about the report Monday morning during an interview with Fox News, Cain at first suggested that he had no knowledge of the report, but then said his staff was reviewing it.
“I’m not aware of this report,” he said. “So, my staff has not had time to go through it. And so I’m not aware of it. They’re not aware of it. We are going to look at the report and see if there is any validity. So at this point, I can’t say that there would be a modification because we don’t know at this point whether or not it’s true or not. So we’ll have to wait until we look at it. But we will take a look at it. But at this point, I didn’t even know about the report until you brought it up on the show.”
Well if you were not aware of it until I just asked the question, how is it that your staff is reviewing it? In the words of the Monday Night Football crew, C’mon man.

Welcome to the Occupation,
I listen to NPR every day. The lead up to their 4:00 news hour is filled with liberal pundits who dissect everything from conservative lunch menus to how conservatives tie their shoes. There is seldom a portion of any of these segments that does not portray a conservative as some sort of knuckle dragger with no heart. I have never, never, never heard even ONE of these pundits criticize Bozo as incompetent, amateurish or without substance. They continually prop him up. No mention of anything negative….. not even in the face of devastating news about Solyndra, Fast and Furious, the stimulus, Cash for Clunkers, unemployment….. it’s as if these issues didn’t even exist.

“With our present tax system and smothering regulations for corporate business”
These are code for the Right’s denial of the absolute advantage (currently) held by low-wage countries of the Pac-Rim.
However, as wages rise (invevitably) in China and most assuredly fuel costs rise, that advantage will evaporate. Not to mention intellectual property theft.
I think eventually, the whole low-wage capital shift will wear itself out.

The Chinese wall may work in China, but this ain’t China. The idea that the head of an organization as large as the NRA wouldn’t want to know what type of damage has been done to the bottom line in a settlement whose allegations specifically name him, is laughable.

Maybe some of our resident conservatives can translate this for me from Limbaugh-ese into English.
According to Rush, the Politico story represents ““an unconscionable, racially stereotypical attack” on Cain.
So what, in Rush’s mind, is “racially stereotypical” about this allegation?

Quite possibly because most of the employees of NPR at least respect the office of president, if not it’s current occupant. I’ve heard plenty of NPR coverage pointing out problems with Obama’s administration and policies, including the Solyndra bankruptcy. They just don’t buy into the right wing paranoia that sees an attempt to subvert the captitalist system and The American Way of Life in every sneeze that issues from the White House.
Care to cite a single NPR story depicting any conservative unfairly in a negative light, or without giving the subject of the story a chance to respond? They’ve got really good archives.

I know that you will never admit it, but this is just like the electronic lynching of Clarence Thomas. After all, what did Cain do?

Did Cain touch anyone?
Did Cain force anyone to have sex?
Did Cain screw around on his wife?
Did Cain threaten anyone with their jobs if they didn’t have sex with him?
You started this, this morning. So be brave and rationalize what you claimed.

this is a teachable moment for all right here on jay’s blog……..the liberal media pushes a non-story about cain to attack him and bookman spins it as not really having a problem with the false media template, but uses it as a springboard to attack on other issues and in conclusion decides that cain is unqualified for the presidency……so at the end of the day, libs like bookman have taken something cain didn’t do and spun it to a point where he is unfit to lead……it’s so fun to expose the liberal media for what it is these days……incredibly biased, unethical, and full of itself to the point where it can’t/won’t change even when people like me expose it for what it is……shameful
FYI booky….if you used the same litmus test for hussein, he never would have made it out of the domestic terrorist’s house where he STARTED his political career……this is fun….enjoy the destruction of the dem party brought on by hussein and the radical left……..good times….

If I were working in Obama’s, I’d much rather be facing the Hermanator than most of the rest of the Republican field.
Based on what Politico’s released so far, Cain could survive this. I would hate to see him lose on evidence that is so little and so old. But I sure won’t mind seeing him lose because he can’t seem to think in any terms so complicated that they can’t be expressed in simple declaritive sentences, using words of less than two syllables.

I think at worst case this will be viewed by the voters as a minor foible on Cain’s part and he will continue his rise in popularity. Why?, because Americans are tired of career politicians who’ve been running this country into the ground for too long. Jay’s analysis that Herman Cain hasn’t run a well disciplined campaign in comparison to Obama’s isn’t going to resonate with voters because Obama’s campaign abilities have not translated into effective presidential leadership.

GLL, arguing or debating with someone requires that both parties occupy somewhat the same universe. We don’t, and I’m just fine with that.

Sooth.
“It shore looks like we got a lot of Cain supporters on this blog.”
Not really, but he’s a lot better than what we currently have.

The sexual harassment story is not nearly as important as the “Cain: ‘Pro-life,’ no exceptions” story.
It is hard to imagine an anti-abortion candidate who refuses to make exceptions for rape or saving the life of the mother winning the presidency.

“But I sure won’t mind seeing him lose because he can’t seem to think in any terms so complicated that they can’t be expressed in simple declaritive sentences, using words of less than two syllables.”
Truly a racist comment.

the fact is that the media openly works and roots for the dems now and they picked a winner in hussein in 2008 who is the most radical leftist leader in our country’s history and they have to cover themselves by portraying the republicans as the radicals……But cain is a normal guy who happens to be a conservative who is black(which the leftist media just hates) and who happens to be very successful, so the media has to try to trick the masses into thinking this here conservative is radical…….it won’t work, none of this will……at this point the country knows who the radical is and he is in the white house…..the media will try to change that image over the next year by attacking whomever his opponent is, but the damage hussein has inflicted is already done…….he in deep doo-doo and bookman and the lib media will foment 100’s of these non-stories over the next year…….i love to educate the masses and expose the left media…..once again, good times!!!

The Japanese go well with a bit of saki and a touch of musubi. That’s of course if you eat ‘em raw.

In my universe, I address points and answer questions. You, on the other hand are getting to be more and more like your little emotional friends and when you fall on your face when trying to debate someone, you pull out the personal attacks and insults.

Kayaker 71. I prefer to avoid the liver.
The heart, now that’s tasty. I prefer raw but the few times I’ve had one well done at a cookout, well, those aren’t bad either
Jay ripped Cains heart out for no good reason. Maybe I can get some leftovers.
Jay, if you can airfreight what’s left of Cain, he’ll be reasonably fresh. Transylvania has a fedex office.

If a man scratches his groin in the presence of female co-workers, he’s probably looking at a sexual harassment charge. It’s all about the money.

O Jay says it’s not a case of the liberal media using a double standard to deal with unsupported allegations about Cain. Well THAT settles it. Of course you can believe Jay Bookman. He would not lie to you.
Right.
Unless he though it might help one of his liberal causes.
