The Cain scrutiny

So, goodbye to candidate Herman Cain.  When he admitted that he never told his wife about his 13-year friendship with Ginger White, which included cash payments to, um, help her out, it was all over for him. You don’t dig your way out of that, not with all the sexual harassment stuff on top of it. The only political question now is: which Republican will get his endorsement? I’d think Gingrich Fink-Nottle would have to be the heavy favorite. The more enduring political question is: In this day and age, why do men who behave that way with women think that it’s not going to come out if they run for public office? Are they really that arrogant? I guess Cain — who still denies all the allegations — has gotten away with this sort of thing for so long that he really believed he was invulnerable.
