Arianna appeared on 'This Week With Christiane Amanpour' to discuss how Herman Cain's sexual harassment allegations scandal will effect his chances for the GOP nomination.
"I think this is more of a problem with our media culture," she said. "Herman Cain is the latest balloon boy, everybody's obsessed with it. If you really ask commentators off the air whether they really think it's probable that Herman Cain even before these allegations would be president...they would tell you no, so why are we obsessing about it?"
She also suggested that, despite performing weakly in recent polls, Jon Hunstman could end up proving a viable choice for the nomination.
"As all the frontrunners are imploding one after the other...Jon Hunstman may be the last man standing," she said.
WATCH (via ABC):
But given the divisiveness introduced by ultraconservatives since Obama taking office I don’t see how Huntsman can get through the primaries. And if he did, it's not hard to imagine an independent challenge coming from the Right by someone with name recognition with nothing to lose (perhaps Newt?) thereby splitting the conservative vote. The Right may have ended up shooting themselves in the foot with the Teaparty.
Otherwise, the press might ask him about his total lack of experience, knowledge or how about the 'oranges and apples' in his whacky 999 plan.
He has NO experience
He has limited knowledge (thinks China is preparing to get nuclear capability - they've had it for decades)
He has a nutty tax plan that even he can't explain
Of course, he 'their' Black - whatever that means.
