Raising Cain

I agree with Herman Cain. Talking about a politician's sex life is a distraction from discussions of the serious issues Americans are facing. How that pertains to Cain, however, is a mixed bag. Even measured against the low standards of discourse among the GOP presidential field, it was unclear that he had much to contribute to that discussion, with or without distractions, on either international or domestic issues. The other key point, to which Cain himself seems oblivious, is that he could have avoided these distractions if he'd been a bit more careful about what he was doing with certain parts of his anatomy (or asked to have done as the case may be). In short, he has no one to blame but himself.
