The Cain Train Runs Out Of Steam.

  Well here we go again. That was Republican Presidential hopeful Herman Cain's latest reaction to the new allegation against him. Just when it looked like Herman Cain might be able to forge a come back in his Presidential campaign, another woman named Ginger White has now come forward, and says, that she and Herman Cain had an on again off again affair, for thirteen years. Herman Cain says, he had a friendship with her but at no time was their relationship any kind of a sexual relationship. I have to admit however, in this case,  Miss White,  does have text and phone messages at some what unusual hours and while that alone doesn't make Herman Cain necessarily guilty of anything, I have to admit, it doesn't look good and this new allegation will most likely end Herman Cains bid for the White House.
  The truth is, at this point,  it almost, doesn't matter,  if  this latest allegation is true or not when you add all the other instances of  improper conduct as alleged, by four other women, enough doubt has been created that I think Herman Cain will ever be considered as a serious Presidential candidate. As a result, he won't receive the Republican nomination for President.Republicans, are always held to a higher  standard, because they are perceived as the party of  moral family values. therefore it was very important for Herman Cain as a conservative Republican, to avoid even the appearance of sexual misconduct or infidelity something apparently, Herman Cain, has failed to do.
  The Liberal Democrats, unlike the Republicans,  do not cling to any type of traditional family values or standards, they can more easily afford to be more Politically indiscreet. The Press now admits, they were well aware, of  John F Kennedy's affair with Hollywood screen goddess, Marilyn Monroe. The President was  very popular however, so the press just looked the other way. Former President, Bill Clinton, had  no less than three,  sexual accusations made against him both before and during his  Presidency. First, while he was running for President, in 1992, the Gennifer Flowers,  story broke. Remember, how Presidential candidate and Mrs. Clinton, went on Sixty Minutes and Hilary Clinton said,  she wasn't standing by her man, like Tammy Wynette? That's just exactly, what she was doing, and no doubt it went a long way in saving Bill Clntons Presidential campaign. During President Clinton's second term, two more women, come forward with charges of sexual misconduct, against President Clinton. Kathleen Willey said,  she was groped by President Clinton, and Paula Jones, also stated that President Clinton,had mde improper sexual advances towards her. Finally, while serving as President in the White House, Bill Clinton, carried on several  sexual encounters, with a twentytwo year old White House intern named, Monica Lewinski. and although this conduct did force President Clinton to be impeached by the House in 1998 there were not enough votes in the Deocratically controled Senate,  to carry out the full impeachment process Thus, President Clinton, was able to finish out his Presidency. Today, President Clinton's less than discreet past seems all but forgotten, Herman Cain, may be completly innocent, although I believe he may,  be guilty at the very least, of showing poor  judgement. The problem is , the seeds of  doubt  have now  been firmly planted in the minds of  the voting public at large. I'm afraid the Cain train has come to the end of the line. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
