Too bad Mr Cain could not stay in the race. Some people complain that only the same kind of people run for political office. Mr Cain represented a different kind of candidate.
The level of scrutiny a national candidate gets today he\she pretty much has to decide at an early age to go the political career path and behave accordingly.
In fairness I think there are other reasons not to cheat on your wife and commit sexual harassment (I am not assuming he is guilty of what he's accused of, but those are the misdeeds discussed in connection with Cain), and also plenty of good reasons to crack a newspaper and learn about both the political process and international relations. I know plenty of non-politicians who wouldn't have the same shortcomings as a candidate that Cain had.
