Oh Mr. Cain...

Okay so whether you've been following the election or not I'm sure you've heard this developing story. Apparently back in the 90's Herman Cain sexually harassed a number of women. At first I didn't really believe it because of the way the story came out. It was an anonymous story from anonymous women during an unspecified time. I mean how vague can you be? So he apparently harassed some unknown women by saying some unknown things at an unknown time. Confusing right?

At first I just brushed it off. Then the first woman came out and added some legs to the story. I began to think 'hmm... Maybe he did do something.' Her story opened up more questions for me than answers. Why did she choose Gloria Alred as her lawyer. Don't get me wrong she may be a great person but lately she have only defended the worst of the worst (like Tiger Woods' 20,000th jumpoff). Another flag was that she didn't tell anyone about this until now? Really? I mean you held on to this since the 90's and didn't tell a soul until be decides to run for president? How can you remember something that happened so long ago with such vivid detail?

I'm not saying that she or any of the other women are lying or bending the truth but I always have my doubts when people come out years later to say something happened to them. Especially when the accusers is trying to accomplish something. It always wreaks of something even more dishonest.

While these women may have been sexually harassed why wait so long to say something? That's all I would like to know. Why not say something right then and there to stop this from happening to the next woman? That is what its all about right?

I'm just sayin'
Sincere

GOP: Herman Cain

After a recent conversation with a friend, I decided to take a closer look at Herman Cain. I really didn’t look at him in my eyes as a possible likely winner for the GOP candidacy. I even took a look at some polls, according to CNN/ORC International Polls 34% of Republicans and Independents say that Cain is the most likeable candidate in the race. Also 33% say Cain is most likely to get the economy moving, especially since the reveal of his 9-9-9 Tax Reform Plan. Note: this is just for how likeable a candidate is, not actually a reflection of how likely he is in topping the GOP candidates.

Cain was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a degree in Mathematics and a Masters in Computer Science, which I find pretty impressive. He worked for the Navy developing fire control systems for ships and fighter planes. He later continued his career in the business realm moving from companies such as Coca Cola to Pillsbury Company gaining experience. While with Pillsbury he became Vice President for the Burger King Division. He later became the President and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza. His success got him the title of President of the National Restaurant Association where his political advocacy begun. He has even played substantial roles with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

The only political race Cain has run was for 2004 to take the Senate seat of Senator Zell Miller. Although he lost he took 26% of the vote. Everyone seems to have a curiosity about Cain and the fact he isn’t a known “politician” is probably one of the reasons he has become one of the top tier candidate in the race for GOP candidates.
