What does it tell you about the repubican base that a guy like Cain, with all . . . .
. . . . the accusations by a growing number of women, with his abject failure on foreign policy in not knowing China is a nuclear power, with his insensitive comment about Leader Pelosi, with his having no obvious empathy for those less fortunate, with all of that, he leads the polls and the worse he gets, the more they favor him?

What kind of people favor a guy like Cain?

1. I think somewhere it said Cain has lost the support of 1/2 the teabagging women. The men are
all ***holes but at least some of the women can empathize with sexually harrassed women.

3. My teapot mom was all over facebook defending Cain recently
which I found ironic given she was so offended by Clinton's Monica scandal.

For her it's OK if it's her team.

Funny cause she used to be a sweet caring arty democrat before she turned into a bitter mean republican.

hope that doesn't happen to me

4. The kind who think he can beat Obama.
"See? We're not racists!" liars.

Also misogynists who'll always rally behind every poor persecuted male.

6. That's what Cain himself believes
They are just parroting out his nonsense. I think some are just hoping that a minority candidate will bring in some more votes, but the problem is that the GOP still very much heavily depends on the Southern Strategy. There's too many wingnuts who when given the choice between two black men are just going to stay home.

8. Me, too, but I don't think it will happen
He's shown some slippage recently, it just takes the Republicon mind (please forgive me for using that word) a bit longer to process information and make even a slightly rational decision than it does normal people.

Newtie is the new Great Pumpkin to rise from the pumpkin patch for the game of whack-a-mole.

9. I know. It would be way too much to hope for. They're stupid. But
they aren't THAT stupid.
