sabotage?

An unlikely frontrunner for the GOP 2012 Republican nomination, fellow GOP candidates have watched in shock and dismay as Herman Cain, a fairly unknown business executive, has climbed up the polls like lightening over the past few months. Former frontrunners Mitt Romney and Rick Perry were unceremoniously cast aside as Cain’s now famous calling card “9-9-9″ captured public interest and overshadowed other, more mainstream approaches to conservative presidential campaigning.

Herman Cain had seemed unstoppable in the press… until now. With a double sexual harrassment charge on his back, Herman Cain’s less experienced political camp is scrambling to do urgent damage control, but are these sexual harrassment charges against Herman Cain nothing more than trumped up smoke and mirrors uncovered by the folks that specialize in digging up dirt on behalf of political opponents?

Herman Cain is being accussed of sexually harrassing two women in the workplace and there is a point of contention between whether Cain had “settled” with his accusers or if he had “reached an agreement” with them. “Two very different things,” claims Cain. Against conventional thinking, Herman Cain is currently on an interviewing rampage in the media trying to clear his name, but many feel he is talking way too much and that as he talks, his story keeps changing. I disagree. I think he is simply trying to recall of the details from an incident that was filled with gray area to begin with.

Fellow conservatives like Donald Trump and Ann Coulter are rallying around the groundbreaking candidate, claiming sabotage and racism by the news media and by the “left.”

According to the New York Daily News, “Right-wing author bats back sex harass claim: “This isn’t dropping your pants and saying, ‘kiss it.’” Coulter is calling this a “high-tech lynching.” And Donald Trump called the allegations “very unfair” on Fox News.

Rush Limbaugh called out the big elephant in the room, bluntly declaring, “This is about blacks and Hispanics getting uppity.”

How this sexual harrassment charge will effect the remainder of Herman Cain’s presidential campaign for the 2012 GOP nomination remains to be seen.
