I honestly think Cain is getting away with things that Perry, Romney or Paul couldn't get away with- here's my point at least 3 times Cain has played the race card.
1) He played the card recently with the Sexual harassment allegations- oh I am now leading and someone is trying to tear me down- then when asked was race a factor- Cain said Yes.
2) He played the race card by saying prominent African American figures like Al Sharpton and Harry Belafonte had issues with him because he was Black and a Republican.
Can you imagine Romney saying I am only getting attacked because I am a mormon?
Also imagine how much heat Romney would have if he said China is trying to develop nuclear weapons. Cain also didn't know what the Right of Return was- gosh what a moron. Cain got a huge break when he took both sides to the Abortion issues. Let's not forget Cain admitting it wasn't important if he knew who the President of Uzbekestan- this was perhaps the most ignorant mistake a Presidential candidate could make: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmkvtfEEFT0
Also, this may not be a big issue to some of you- but Bill Maher made a reference as to how Cain gets away with not even shaving his mustache- Maher then ask what other candidate have you known running for POTUS that wasn't clean shaven- I immediately thought of Bll Richardson- but a went on Youtue and look at several debates in 2008 and Richardson was clean shaven- so again Cain get's another pass- simply WOW!!!!
