The *edited* interview DID do damage, thanks to Nicole Wallace allowing leftist hack Katie Couric over six HOURS worth of interviews. Palin's annoyance at Couric came through. You didn't see Couric asking the same question multiple times. Palin is an extremely bright and savvy woman, and McCain's inept campaign wasted her. :mad: Rob I don't think that any states will break away, but their economies ARE on the precipice of collapse, and I agree that the entire nation will become a rotting corpse if socialism prevails in 2012. :nope: Rob
God Bless him and his family.I don’t think even Cain thought he would make it this far. Still don’t know why he didn’t anticipate these attacks or allegations. I think it shows questionable judgement on his part, at best.Cain is suspending his campaign.
I have to say I am a little sad even though I don’t think he can win now, he brings a new spirit to the Republican party, and I am sure that will be lasting even though he has stepped out. Herman Cain is awesome.
True, but then again his whole campaign seemed a little disorganized. The biggest question mark over the authenticity of the sexual harassment allegations for me is the timing. When he ran for senator, no allegations in the media. When Cain was low in the polls in the presidential campaign, no allegations in the media. When he became the frontrunner, the allegations appeared.
No, that is not a problem. You don’t “get a new flavor” every week, the candidates get a trial run so to speak to allow the voters to get to know them and decide whether to support them over the long term. The reality is that one may have had an impression of a candidate based on previous experience, what the media says or better yet personal interaction. But when you see the candidate debate or hear a speech you realize that your impression was erroneous. Remember Rick Perry coming in at number one? It’s because many voters had a preconceived notion of who he was and what he stood for. When he made that crack about “if you don’t want illegals to get in state tuition you don’t have a heart” I thought OOOPS! That’s going to peel away a lot of support. Who knew he had that attitude? I didn’t. As to Newt’s rise, look back and remember that he was written off early in the race, his staff quit, he was a dead man walking. By being persistent, performing extremely well in debates he showed voters that rumors of his political death were greatly overstated.
Absolutely! But I think we have learned from this experience and while I am deeply sorry for Sarah Palin and her family for the horrible way they were treated, I think this increases our resolve not to allow the MSM to take control of our candidates and futures.The edited interview DID do damage, thanks to Nicole Wallace allowing leftist hack Katie Couric over six HOURS worth of interviews.

I’m not a conspiracy nut but I think someone or some organization was behind this. I thought the women were NOT very credible and I was embarrassed for women everywhere that they promoted this gold digger bimbo image. No one was helped by these revelations and I think Mr Cain’s candidacy would have run its course. He is an amazing man and I pray that he and his family will recover from this media lynching party.
Now he can get back to the business of selling books and giving speeches, except now he gets to charge more. He wasn’t a good candidate, but he’s still a great businessman.
“Great” businessman? I’m not so sure. “Good” businessman is more like it. In the world of pizza restaurants, Godfather’s Pizza is as kaput as…is it even still around anymore? You’ve got Papa John’s and Pizza Hut and Domino’s and California Pizza Kitchen and Little Caesar’s and local mom’n’pops… but I am going to take a guess and estimate the number of Godfather’s Pizza locations to be in the dozens, not in the hundreds. (Someone else can Google the accuracy of my guess.) The guy from Domino’s, the one who started all those Catholic programs, has a better track record as a “great” businessman.Now he can get back to the business of selling books and giving speeches, except now he gets to charge more. He wasn’t a good candidate, but he’s still a great businessman.
Just because Godfathers isn’t the number once pizza chain does not mean he is not a great businessman. I think I’ve seen them here in Oklahoma, but from what I’ve heard the company was in worse shape when he took over than when he left.
Wallace and Couric are friends, Lisa, and I have every reason to suspect that Wallace acted as a double agent against McCain in the campaign. If she was really trying to HELP McCain, she'd be even more staggeringly incompetent than anyone could imagine. :rolleyes:622 locations in only 39 U.S. states? And that’s impressive… why?
You made the claim that he is not a great business man.622 locations in only 39 U.S. states? And that’s impressive… why?
Mitt Romney’s business experience extends beyond the U.S. (all 50 states).
It took only a very few keystrokes for me to learn that there are 622 Godather’s Pizza restaurants.
