Welcome to the big leagues, Herman

It looks like things are just getting worse for Cain. A third employee at the NRA says Cain harassed her, a conservative Iowa talk show host says Cain behaved inappropriately around his female staff, and a Republican pollster has gone on the record to say he witnessed Cain harass an NRA employee. Cain continues to blame liberals who he claims oppose him because he is black. Daily, Cain is reinforcing the message that he is politically inept (along the way he issued a warning that China was pursuing nuclear weapons) and probably up to his ears in sexual harassment incidences. He has promised that his wife will come out of hiding, but at this point he may be hiding from her.

So, as the Cain campaign starts circling the drain, who will be the next anti-Romney?

Yes, I guess he changed his tune since this morning. Romney probably is in need of oxygen after being out of breath from laughing so much.

Who is laughing harder, Romney or Obama.

Obama. Killing the Cain campaign hurts Romney by making Perry seem like the only viable choice to the "anyone but Romney" crowd, and Perry has enough money that he might be able to do something with that opportunity. Fortunately, I think Cain is going to grind on and do well enough in the primaries to keep it a three-way race until his campaign ultimately implodes.

Romney will be the last man standing, Mr. Steele. All this stuff is the media trying to create a horse race where none really exists. If the Tea Party had someone good, this would be different, but they don't. Christie could have beaten Romney, but once he sat it out, the outcome became a foregone conclusion. Yes, I'll have a few moments of angst if Perry gets some traction, but at the end of the day, Romney is the nominee at a probability of about 90% now.
