Perry has his own problems with that goofy press conference he just had. Cain has not been adversely affected yet (poll-wise or money-wise) and if this continues to pan out as a hit piece, Cain may end up stronger than ever.
even if it is a hit piece - and it could be...
we see that Cain will lie at the drop of a hat, or, "not recall things".
we see that cain had 10 days to prepare a response to this allegation, and was a mess. He bragged about his biz experience - but isn't crisi mgmt part of that? As president, something silly like this will be nothing compared with "Mr Cain, CHina and Russia just dropped the dollar and are massing their warships".
Will he get 10 days to fuddle that?
Mitt and Ron paul are the only adults left. huntsman too.
