Poet quoted by Herman Cain in recent debate turns out to be Pokemon

Have you been following the Herman Cain campaign? It's still going, despite the fact that a fourth fifth woman has now raised allegations of sexual harassment. (Slate has a good article about why these charges don't matter so much to conservative defenders--because sexual harassment, "like racism, used to exist but is now over.")

We'd also like to point you to another development: Rachel Maddow has identified the poet who Cain quoted in a recent debate as having once said, "[L]ife can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it's never easy when there's so much on the line. We have a lot on the line."

It's Pokemon! Watch Maddow uncover the biz below.
