Herman Cain is learning the reality of being in the spotlight the hard way. Woman number five has popped up from nowhere, accusing him of sexual harassment. Mr. Cain sees this as a big conspiracy theory: liberals and Democrats trying to put him down. A few days ago he accused his fellow GOP presidential contenter Perry of leaking a past sexual harassement case.

The game is not over yet within the GOP. Cain may lead in the polls, but there is no guarantee that he will be the GOP candidate to face President Obama. Maybe his worst enemies are within his own political party. For sure, he needs to get back on track before women number six, seven, or maybe eight come out. As the Bakota of Congo say, “He who doesn’t find his way back from the forest gets lost within it.”
