He appeared very distracted and (quite honestly) it seemed I was watching an actor who forgot his lines. NEXT!

Could it be he pulled an Obama, where he fumbled without benefit of his teleprompter?

I like Cain and thought his participation was good. Although more of an insider than perceived - he brings a fresh perspective. Unfortunately, this video is a nightmare.

I don't. At least not for national public office. Now, if he was running for some local office in my area, then I'd probably vote for him, and even contribute to his campaign. That is, he seems eminently buyable.

So he hit on a few women. So what. The truth of this seems to me to be transparently evident. We've all hit on women. It's normal. It's natural. Problem is that now he's running for 'President'. So, I'm sure he's kicking himself in the butt, figuratively speaking. "Why wasn't I just a bit more careful", he might be saying to himself.

Anyway, this harassment stuff isn't why I don't like Cain. It's that he's just such a lightweight. Make that, uh, bantamweight. No, flyweight. Is there a category that's lighter than that?

In a twisted way, I think the severity of the charges in the Penn State matter have given Cain cover. Rubbing the leg of a grown woman after dinner and drinks hardly compares to the alleged activity by the former coach with young boys.

So Obama, with a few years of law practice and half a senate term under his belt is more qualified to run our country than the CEO of a major corporation?

How do you figure that?

So he hit on a few women.

That's been alleged, and as has been pointed out, a significant number of such allegations wind up being false.

The truth of this seems to me...

It's not seeming that way to many of the rest of us.

Compared to Cain, I'd have to say "Obamaweight," if there were such a category.

I don't figure that. I don't like Obama or any of the candidates of the major parties. Definitely won't be voting for either a Democrat or a Republican in the next presidential election.

And a significant number of such allegations wind up being true. Cains obviously a player.

Then you're just being naive, imho.
