Cain’s not an idiot but he is a man. As such, when accusations of sexual impropriety were made he knew his disadvantage and settled to avoid damage to reputation. Very understandable and explainable. But Cain’s seeming inability to shut down the talk with clear explanation and straight answers speaks to a bigger, more tragic truth. He doesn’t want this tale told! He would rather not do what needs be done to clear his name or, more likely, it can’t be cleared and he knows it! Either way his character suffers a fatal wound. If he won’t fight unjust accusation or own up to indiscretion he’s not a man I can champion for president.
I’m afraid he’s toast!
Exactly, it's not the issue of if or not this was a happening or the details of...it's how is Cain handling this crisis...and that's not good by any means...especially knowing it was coming when he decided to run...should have been far better prepared and he simply wasn't. Now it's a matter of making the best out of the situation, make money as he goes, and wait til the cash cow is milked to death for all making money off this scandal....but he needs to shut up!
