Unsurprisingly, Herman Cain has raised more money from donors since the allegations of sexual harassment have been revealed. Well anyway, unsurprising to those of us who know anything about the how the Republican mind works. It paradoxically celebrates and rewards politicians who sexually infantualize women while simultaneously condemning the "liberal" media that exposes it (even though it was logically the Perry or Romney campaign that leaked it). It's legitimately a win-win for a Republican candidate. That's why I don't think Rick Perry's already famous debate gaffe will hurt him that much (if at all). The truth is, most Republican activists celebrate and reward stupidity. I mean this literally. When choosing candidates, this is a feature not a bug. I mean just watch this clip again below (I can't even make it through it myself). For the right wing, Rick Perry is super Jesus + super George Bush combined. I guarantee you, he will be still be a player in the Republican field. He may not be smart, but he's smart enough to know we need to get rid of those big bad government bureaucracies! He can't name them, but we know they're bad!
