Let's think about this logically. He can't win. He doesn't have a operation in place, he has no experience and no money. He cannot win - and he knows it. Because he is NOT stupid.
.
So, what is in it for him. Selling books and increasing ratings for his radio show. And for those purposes, these allegations only help him. They raise his visibility and make him a victim of the "Liberal Left Wing", which helps him sell books.
.
So what if the "democratic machine" or "liberal media" or "high tech lynching" is a lie, and a proven lie at that? He doesn't care. Because there are 25% of the people who believe him. And he just needs to make those people - who think Herman Cain is being persecuted, buy his book. He is after money, not the Presidency, because that really is the American Dream.
.
I think these details were leaked by Herman Cain himself. What better way to raise awareness, while giving you a nice out from the drudgery of a campaign? It even gives him a whole set of chapters in his next book..
Also, think about it. We will won't elect a candidate named Herman with the memory of Herman Munster in our collective heads.
