I think I can speak for most conservatives when I say that we’ve always lived by Martin Luther King’s admonition to “judge a man by the content of his character.” So skin color isn’t an issue with us. But multiple bimbo eruptions are a bit of a problem…
 
The first couple “allegers” accusing Herman Cain of sexual harassment merely seemed to be grabbing their 15 minutes of fame. (Curious that they didn’t they say anything until he became such a public figure.) But the latest story of a 13 year affair is going to be a lot more difficult to dismiss.
 

 
Her name – “Ginger White” – reminds me of an old cologne I used wear. The only “proof” she has are phone records. And her personal financial situation isn’t exactly peachy. But her story does sound a bit more plausible than the earlier ones. Where there’s smoke there’s not necessarily fire. But where there’s lots of smoke, well…
 
It’s sad, and I don’t really want to believe it, but could this commenter at The Blaze be on to something?
“I guess the Cain train pulled into to(sic) many stations before he decided to run for Prez.”

Update(11-30-11):
Brent Bozell at Townhall looks at Cain’s bimbo troubles in light of the main stream media malpractice:

But here’s what’s sick. Ginger White makes an adultery charge against Cain and she’s on NBC within hours. But when Juanita Broaddick accused Chelsea’s father of raping her in a 1999 Dateline NBC interview, then-anchor Tom Brokaw never allowed one second of her voice to break into the NBC Nightly News.

 
Well sure -and I hate to trot out that old standby but – if the Left didn’t have double-standards they wouldn’t have any standards at all.
