I liked Cain early on, and hoped that he could take the heat of the process. Alas, I am afraid his crust has been cooked.
What really hits home here, however, is how far the people on the Cain Train are willing to bend over to dismiss what now appears to be a major character flaw. If this was any of the other candidates, be it Mitt, Newt, Michelle, or (heaven forbid) Rick Perry, this board would be exploding with negative comments about how inept they are. In the process of eating our own, we seem to have lost sight of the objective - which is to defeat Obama.
I think Cain supporters, (present company included), are not dismissing “ a major character flaw”, but instead are very well aware of just how much of a threat Mr. Cain has turned out to be to both the Left AND to the Establishment Republican opposition.
Another poster coined the term, “Palined” sometime ago when the first of these women came forward, and Cain addressed and answered the concerns. Next came the meme that Cain was not intelligent enough, and while the cumulative effect of all of these questions did slow some of his momentum, they did NOT drive him out of the race, and people have not only stayed with him, but with each attack, more have joined him, if for no other reason than this all has laid bare the stunning bias, and agenda of the StateRunMedia.
So now it seems we are back to the women issues, and again, we Cain supporters are simply waiting for an rather important piece of the process in American justice - proof.
May God guide our course.

That is so true.
People here are so wedded to Cain that if a video came out they’d swear it was doctored.
Loyalty is a good thing, but a little restraine and common sense are good things also.
