Cain campaign contributions have accelerated since the harassment charges!

I've been telling you, America was looking for a horndog in the tradition of the most popular and successful American Presidents.

To illustrate, let's just look at one party so that we can take politics out of the equation. Look at their ranking among all the Democratic presidents, as formed from an aggregation of various historians and polls.

The five worst Democratic Presidents are: Obama, Jimmy Carter, Martin van Buren, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan - all of them sexless or faithful. (Four of them cherished their wives. James Buchanan was just a strange duck who seems to have gone for years, maybe decades, without sex.) I added Obama to the list, but there's no question he would be in that group somewhere, since the next-lowest guy on the list is Bill Clinton, who was obviously more successful in the Presidency than Obama.

All the horndogs ranked higher than those five: JFK, LBJ, Bill Clinton, and the top-rated Democrat, FDR.

On the other hand, horniness has not worked out as well for the Grand Old Party. While some of their worst presidents have been faithful or sexless, their very worst was Warren Harding, who was the Bill Clinton of his own day. He had numerous extra-marital flings, and once had sex with a woman in a closet at the White House, according to that woman (Nan Britton, who was, I suppose, the Monica Lewinsky of her day).
