1. I was wondering the same thing myself
Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of press conference involving three of the female victims? Or did that take place without my paying attention?

7. I heard that when he started going down in gop polls the ladies
decided that they did not have to do any more. Don't know if it is true.

2. Good question - I suspect it is because he is no longer the front runner
Don't take that to the bank though, the bank may have had other ideas.

3. Because "we the people" have the collective attention span of a gnat.
Why, that story's almost a month old...ancient history! :sarcasm:

4. He's no longer the idiot du jour.
Mittens and Newtie are the top bananas this week.

5. republicans always make "their" stories disappear...
maybe because they own the media.

It's Okay When a Republican Does It.

8. Simple
He's out of the way now. That's what the news items intended to do, and I'm sure they will be resurrected if he becomes a problem again.

11. because he has no chance now. no need to talk about him, I would guess.
the only candidate most of TPTB on their side feel has a shot is Mittens. The rest are hysterically embarrassing.

13. Because unlike Democrats (remember Anthony Weiner)
Republicans do not care what the 'other side thinks' and they are loyal to their own.

Democrats, otoh, cannot wait more than a second (see Shirley Sherrod eg, Van Jones) to rid themselves of former highly respected members of their party once the far right, (Breitbart et al) point a finger at them.

Republicans tough it out, stand by their people, and gives the media nothing to keep the story going.

Contrast what happened with Weiner, who did nothing other than have a little cyber sex. Republicans did not have to do a thing, he was done in by the Leadership of his own party.

16. Because Cain is on his way out so nobody really cares any more.
