He addressed it when asked.

He is not continuing to talk about it, but the MSM is the one that won't let it go..I like what he said to the media a couple of days ago that he is not answering their questions about harassment, he is going to talk to the group of doctors about other things, but he did address it when it was raised and then moved on.

That is good, but he could not afford to ignore such questions in the beginning. So far I have no problem with how he has handled things, but it seems that some think he should not have said anything, that would be a plan for defeat...The media will not let it go away, but so far he has played his cards right...

My problem is that some seem to think he should NOT have defended his reputation and integrity.

My problem is that some seem to think he should NOT have defended his reputation and integrity.

How many times does he need to defend the same thing he's already made his statment on? and how many times does he say he's moving on and then ,as today, he gives Hannity an hours program about the ordeal on the same stuff we've already heard him say. He needs to let it rest instead of fueling the flames.

Each time he answers to anyone the media runs with it all over again, and again and again....all spinning the heads of those who love scandals and dirt, and all with framing their own opinion of what went down, if anything.

I want to see Cain rise above this...yesterday would have been good...and he did so with the dignity he's carried before this nonsense. He's letting it get to him and he needs to stop letting it. He's on the hot seat and must pass this test and BE "presidential" about it.

It's no secret I like Cain very much...he just is not ready without being propped up... and I'm not so sure he's one to take the advice of those qualified to do that. I sure as heck don't want another one like Obama who is unwilling to hear advisers. That's why I've said over and over... ...It's not about the happenings and crisis....it's all about how Cain handles them ...with dignity and integrity and not playing into the bait traps layered for him...he's not doing so well in that respect. IMO

BTW Granny...I liked how Cain’s very first statement on the issue...calm, measured, confident and answered all that needed to be said. Went downhill thereafter and it makes me mad he could have simply refered to his statement and let the media do whatever...it easily could have been history by now.

Remember they tried the same thing with Perry...died fast too because he wasn’t going to play in that park. None should...history is just that..when it comes to peoples personal life...though it matters it does not need to be replaed over and over.
