Unfortunately, Herman Cain doesn’t quite know how to play the political game. In the wicked 
world of politics, it’s a whack-a-mole game to keep scandals – whether true or fabricated – from disrupting or destroying a political agenda. Cain took a business approach to the sexual harassment claims, and though it may have appeared the more sensical route in the business world, Cain jumped that train a long time ago. Business smarts don’t exist in Washington (a tragic reality in its own right).
We’re not in Kansas anymore, Mr. Cain. When potentially fatal rumors arise one must squelch them before they kill you first.
Yes, it’s possible the women making the claims are being paid to lie or embellish upon a mostly forgotten story from long ago, but the media does not care. During general election years, any bone from any closet will do.
Cain’s campaign can actually gain ground if he comes forth and tells the whole truth before the alleged harassment victims do. He cannot sweep this one under the rug. In the race to the White House, every speck of dust is examined under a microscope and turned into a mountainous heap of steaming manure. Cain can take this speck of dust and keep it at a minimum pile of crap if he addresses the issue head on and attacks the accusations with the truth. Because chances are, most of A.D.D. America will forget the hiccup by January’s primaries.
