The toxic press continues to dwell on sexual-harassment charges against presidential hopeful Herman Cain, to the point that one CBS story erroneously reported he had been accused of “sexual assault,” says Matthew Balan, an analyst with the watchdog site Newsbusters. Are voters buying it? A new Rasmussen Reports voter poll conducted Tuesday finds Mr. Cain remains 13 points ahead of rival Mitt Romney; details at column’s end.

I look forward to meeting Gloria Cain on Greta’s show. Hers is one of the very few (and dwindling) ones I still watch on Fox. I wish she would get the 8p.m. slot.
The timing this week though, is horrible for her. She sounds like a quiet, decent woman...who will soon have a relentless microphone shoved in her face questioning her.
Honestly, is it any wonder any decent human being would consider running for political office?
No evidence, none facts, no paper trail. No evidence at all. Merely a string of anonymous sources making accusations.
The accusations are then "validated" by more hear say accusations by third party sources linked to other GOP campaigns.
The GOP machine better buy a clue. This stupidity on their part may just buy them a Tea Party presidential candidate in 2012.
If Cain doesn't survive, we are truly alone.
Cain has to get better at dealing with the press. They are trying to murder him and he acts like they are his friends.
I guess that’s what inexperience means. I like Cain, like him a lot. Haven’t sent him money yet because, frankly, I’m waiting for him to toughen up. If he can’t do that, I don’t want to send money to a lost cause.
He’s got to toughen up fast. It’s not just this bogus sexual harassment issue, it’s the whole issue of his mouth getting ahead of his thoughts when he’s talking to people who literally want to murder him. He can change. This isn’t like Perry’s problem (being a dimwit), this is something fixable.
But he’s f*ing gotta fix it and he’s gotta fix it fast.
Don't fool yourself, at this point in time, this is 100% Establishment Republican.
Why? So when Rommney becomes the standard bearer for the Republican Party, they can say to the Conservative Wing,"Vote for our guy or obama is re-elected". won't work with me. If it means that obama gets a hundred terms, I will not give my vote to Rommney.
Ditto what you said!
Not ready for prime time!
Cain is as bad as Obama when it comes to blaming others.
TRY learning the facts rather then perpetuate the smear.
They heard 10 days in advance a smear was coming. They knew NO details, just that Politico had “heard about sexual harassment charges”. Politico, to date, still has not presented anything but accusations. No facts, no paperwork, no court docuemnts. Nothing. Just the accusations.
Kind of hard to respond to fraudulent accusations in advance.
So spare us the emotionally hysteric drivel Perrybot
With a 10 day warning the Cain campaign made a mess of the whole mess!
More like a 10 year plus warning and still was caught flat footed.
“Be Prepared” ... A Boy Scout he apparently wasn’t.
Cain's team should have been out front with the info that Cain had been "falsely" accused of harrassment at NRA.
Block looked like deer in the headlights with Bret.
FACT--a lot is NOT known about Herman Cain.
This was not handled well...in fact Cain and his staff only made it worse!
Cain did a lot better when he was on his book tour!
True!
