If something isn't done TO Mr. Cain, the libs are afraid he might end up IN the White House.
This explains today's "news."
Cain isn't currently running for the presidency. He's running for the GOP nomination. Consequently, is quite possible that this info has come out at this time because either Romney (and his staff), or lower-tier conservative GOP candidates (and their staffs), or the inside-the-beltway GOP establishment is/are trying to derail his candidacy.
If it was the Democrats who were supposedly behind this, don't you think they would wait until Cain was the GOP nominee before releasing this information?
He is currently running for the Presidency. You can try (for some dumb-ass reason) to try to spin it. But there it is.
OF COURSE he's doing so by running for the GOP nomination. It would be pretty difficult for him to seek the Presidency without getting the nod of one of the two major political parties and he's clearly not seeking the liberal Democrat Parody nomination.
The MSM is decidedly biased in favor of the liberal Democratics. So any "news" they toss out there about any of the GOP candidates serves many different agendas.
You can pretend otherwise, but your pretense is not convincing.
