Cain is toast. He has made too many misstatements (claiming he’s “joking”) and has been too evasive about the facts concerning the sexual misconduct issues. He’s done. He just doesn’t realize it yet. Like it or not, we are going to be stuck with Romney as the Republican nominee.
He needs to get out in front of this or he is toast. Release any confidentiality on the women and let them speak. Two women AND a witness? He needs another witness to come forward and say nothing happened or corroborate his story. The press isn’t going to let this go. I’m starting to understand why neither Romney or Perry bothered to attack Cain during the debates. They probably both knew this crap was coming.
Bull. Unless he touched a breast or poked a finger where the sun don’t shine, most people aren’t going to give a rat’s butt.
This is no longer the 90’s. Women are tough. We run with the boys and many are just as rough. Saying something “inappropriate” in 1990 is going to sound like sandbox talk today.
He hasn’t been evasive on this issue. If his flat denial proves to be a lie, then he is done.

False claims of harassment and discrimination are filed every day in this country, and the accusers bought off to avoid more costly court expenses. Do you have evidence that these "incidents" were any more than this?
You have been listening to too much Michael Medved. It is too early to know how this will play out for sure. Personally I doubt that this issue is going to hurt Mr. Cain's poll numbers at all. It will definitely increase his name recognition and has already caused his followers to rally to his defense. It is also very possible that black people will sense that just another unfair baseless smear designed to take down one of their own.
I have watched a lot of his interviews and after each I felt he did a good job. If this “controversy” causes more people to actually watch him... it is almost certainly going to help him. Clinton was accused of rape, illicit affairs, intimidation, sex acts with an intern in the oval office and lying about it. Much of the allegations were proven to be true. We don't even know for sure what Mr. Cain has been accused of... the best guess is that he was "insensitive" in some way. And you think this is the end for him? I sure don't want you to be the doctor making my prognosis when I come in for a tummy ache.
You could not possibly be more wrong.
Take a look at the Real Clear polling average. Your boy Romney is fading while Cain is rocketing up.
So nice try but you lose
Do you really believe Cain supports will throw their support to Romney?
Your are completely in denial, Pweeeybot.
I think you're right on. Cain may not be toast with conservatives, who generally like him, but as far as getting 50.1% of the general election vote, that ship has sailed. The press will hammer away at this unmercifully and it will sway just enough of the undecided to make him a close second. Looks like Romney is warming up in the bullpen. Not what I was hoping for, but that's what we're going to get.
Yes, and add to that his OBVIOUS lack of knowledge in foreign/military affairs and there is no way he'll even place in the primaries. In fact, I suspect he'll withdraw from the race.
Herman Cain is over. Right or wrong.
