I'm reserving judgment against Cain and the accusers until more of the facts come to light. Generally my thoughts thus far are:

I am somewhat bothered by the fact that Cain's answers have changed repeatedly in various interviews. Although, when recalling an event from 12 or more years ago, it's not unusual to remember more details as you begin thinking about what happened. More details is acceptable. Contradictory details are not
I accept the idea that Cain was not involved in the settlement negotiaions and therefore cannot speak to them. The NRA's HR Dept. would have handled such negotiations and intentionally excluded Cain from them.
Cain says the claims were resolved in his favor. Block says Cain wants to move on and discuss campaign issues. That is a little troublesome because if Cain truly was falsely accused, there is no reason to keep the details quiet. He should ask the NRA to release copies of the complaints and the final settlement agreement. At least one accuser seems to want that too.
It's standard legal procedure to require a confidentiality agreement in any settlement. So the fact that these women cannot provided details does not in and of itself discredit the accusations.
Anonymous witnesses should not automatically be ignored. There is legtimate reason to fear going public. The witnesses have to consider the consequences to their family members and the potential of damaging relationships with their current employers. Media tend to camp out in front of homes and businesses hoping to get an interview. It's intrusive.
Three women having issues with Cain indicates a pattern of behavior. One can be ignored as an aberration, but not two or three. There seems to be a "there" there. What that is remains unclear.

BS, they can come out anytime they want to. Rush says one of the women told her attorney to set down and shut up. But the attorney is a clintoon mouth. Pajamas media has proved it is a. Dog crap organization .

Oddly, all three during his 3(?) years as head of the NRA. Cain is in his mid-60s, so has been working at least 40 years. Was he perfectly upstanding and true until he was with the NRA, when he suddenly turned into Bill Clinton, then reverted to his normal self.

The whole thing stinks, IMO.
