I feel the same way. If it is true, I could care less who leaked. If it is not true, I hope they nail, with tangible proof, whoever started the whole ordeal. So far, there is no one that can be emphatically pinned down as the source. Joel Bennett told CNN that is was a present or former NRA member. That is all we have to go on right now.

Exactly! And why in the world is everyone looking everywhere else than where the lawyer, Joel Bennett, on CNN said he found the information - a present or former NRA member. Good grief! How hard was that.

These women and their lawyers are going to regret the day they decided to smear a good man for personal gain. I hope the conservative media will go after them and turn their lives upside down journalisticly speaking.
For God's sake! This happened 15 years ago, not a week ago. At least one woman is bound to some sort of non-disclosure agreement.
Third Woman Accuses Herman Cain Of Harassment; Witness Goes Public : It's All Politics : NPR

And you hope their every movement is brought to light? Every skeleton in their closet? You better hope you never have to accuse someone of sexual harassment.

Why not have one national primary day and let the chips fall where they fall?

With your flat earth approach to the issue, as opposed to being able to comprehend the whole, your end results will be disastrous. The percentage of radical right in the Republican party can never win a national election, you must have the support of the Independents. Independents will never support bible thumping religious fanatics or tea bagging lunatics that have hijacked the Republican party or candidates that are supported by the same. In the last election baggers were defeated in DE, CT, WV, CO, NV, CA, AK, etc. state elections. Now that the public has had a chance to see the debacle created by the tea bagging lunatics in the House of Representatives, they are ready to go to the polls in 2012 and vote these "my way or the highway, no compromise crowd" out.This country cannot operate without compromise. These tea baggers must go the way of the Whigs and any presidential candidate of like persuasion will never reach his goal and will be swept out with them. Is your F------g ear to the ground or is your head in the sand?

Spot On, Packeryman. Joe Scarboroughs' article said it all in 3 words: "Crazies Never Win". That is what BOTH parties extremists camps represent-crazies.

Every Republican who hasn't run as a conservative has gotten his ass kicked in a Presidential election.

Romney is McCain is Dole is Ford is Bush 41's doomed re-election.

Doesn't pay to reach across the aisle.

Was Bush Sr. a far right winger? Not really. Even baby Bush, compared to the current crop of nutcases doesn't seem that right wing.
