The news from Atlanta today was
that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain was suspending his campaign.
Rep. Allen
West (R-FL) had
some advice for Cain when he announced he would be reassessing his run for
the White House. West said, “Beyond
reassessing his campaign, he probably needs to understand that he is a
distracter for what’s going on right now and we should move on. That would be my advice to him.”
Cain
attributed his decision to too many "distractions," as he called
them, on the campaign trail which are now interfering in his personal life. So
West was correct.
A president
cannot afford to be the target of blackmail attempts and the number of bimbo
eruptions made Cain ripe for the picking.
I hold with
the opinion expressed by John Hinderaker at Powerline,
“What happened to Herman Cain is what the Democrats intend to do to whoever the
Republican nominee turns out to be. They know they can’t win a debate on the
economy or on President Obama’s record, so they will do everything they can to
distract the voters’ attention from those matters, which should be decisive,
and instead turn the focus to the GOP candidate and his or her alleged foibles.
If Republican voters allow that to happen by nominating a candidate with
baggage that permits the Democrats to turn him into the next Herman Cain, it is
all too likely that President Obama will be re-elected, with consequences that can hardly be overestimated.” [Emphasis
mine.]
