Herman Cain

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain seems to just keep digging himself into a bigger hole these days: first, with the emergence of his alleged sexual harrassment scandal, and then recently, the revealment of a supposed 13 year extra marrital affair with Atlanta business woman Ginger White. Not only has his image been completely tarnished by such accusations, but his ability to hold a ethical, drama-free presidency is now questionable.

Even if Cain decided to continue on his campagin, which he revealed has become less viable throughout the past couple of months and has therefore had to "reassess," it is hard to believe that he could pull out of such a sticky predicament and regain any kind of popularity that had been lost. Furthermore, if Cain were to hypothetically acheive the Republican nominee for president, he would be demolished, crushed, by Obama simply because of such scandals. Herman Cain, who continues to focus and rely on his "999" tax plan to overshadow the news allegations, simply will not be able to bounce back. America doesn't want a leader that has possibly sexually harrassed a woman or has possibly been cheating on his wife for 13 years. America, who is in an economic turmoil and citizen unrest, wants someone strong, someone reliable to help pull through the mess, not create an even bigger one. America has already seen someone fail at the presidential moral code (Clinton) and more than likely will not let that happen again. Therefore, Cain's allegations have proved to America all they need to know: Cain just doesn't fit that kind of bill. Sure, he has good ideas, and sure he seems like a nice guy, but his past and his inability to firmly take anykind of stance on such issues have caused his campaign to continually digress (Not to mention how he couldn't come up with an answer posed by an interviewer about what he would do concerning Gadaffi and Libya, how he basically forgot what he probably at one point had memorized, what he probably didn't have any personal thoughts towards anyways). All of these things lumped into one equal a very rough road ahead for Cain, and possibly mark the beginning of an end to his campagin.
