One Potemkin Candidate is Going Down--I mean figuratively.....

The Herman Cain Experience, Train, presidential campaign, or whatever you might have been calling it (I was personally calling it The Griftulence) is chugging to its climax.  If this campaign was not being run as a joke, this is the very worst of ways to run a campaign, ever. If this campaign was intended as kind of a joke, this is one of the unfunniest jokes, ever. At this point, the candidate has gone from simply an unprepared, ego-driven former-business person out to sell books, to a guy who is kind of perceived as a sleazy, uninformed adulterer who might have actually hurt his family by letting his personal business air out in this way.

That is simply tragic. But like the voyeur of political tragedy that I am, let me just dwell one little moment on the thing that is the "Women for Cain" website. The above logo is the former one, with the stock "positive sister-friends" photo beckoning conservative Women (Platonic)Friends of Cain to share how much they think Herman Cain should be president because God wants him to be and stuff. And how them "women" are lying because someone paid them, and also, how Satan does not want him to be president. Because people posting on websites is exactly how you know a guy totally isn't a womanizer.  Other people might think he isn't. Sort of.  Or will vote for him anyway. Also--they took down the "sister-friends" stock photo, so now the header looks naked., but it is still "lady lavender" colored.  And the website is apparently strong enough for men but made for women. Or whatever. So ladies--stop fleeing the Hermentum. He cares enough that a website for you to admire and support him was set up on his your behalf.

Oh, and he's giving some kind of announcement a little way from now, after meeting with the chair of Women for Cain, who happens to be his wife--and I'm thinking that one woman for Cain might just maybe think she isn't for Cain being president right now.
