Anyone who thinks these allegations, even if not proven, would not hurt Cain fatally in a general election is smoking crack...or in need of psychiatric care.

There's 5 of 'em.

whatever happened to Larry Sinclair? Did they kill him, or is he still around?

Right, 4 Obama zombettes and a ditz that needs money more than her dignity. Without a doubt these 5 should choose the Republican nominee.

Every woman in America should claim that she was asked out on a date by Herman Cain. When the number reaches 5000 then the storm will die out.

There's 5 of 'em.

And more copycats to come, no doubt.

Yes because far worse allegations really damaged Clinton.

As I said on another discussion, many need to grow a spine. Our guys are always going to have some version of this attack. They have successfully knocked out good candidates like George Allen, Palin, and destroyed the reputations of Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, and countless others. This is a fact of serving as a Republican, and if we wilt under attack the conservative movement will continue to be diminished.

There is zero evidence of any impropriety by Cain, and until there is, this must be challenged. If it turns out that he was out there chasing women, that might be relevant, but just puts him in the same class as countless other politicians.

Big deal. I've made more than 5 females pised off at me in a single night, and sex wasn't even involved. ; )

Cain is done. Romney can’t win. At the end of the day it will be a Perry/Newt or Perry/Rubio ticket. That’s fine with me.

[Hoodat]

There's 5 of 'em.

Really? I know 500 who allege that Cain wasn't even in town when the alleged crime occurred. Looks like I've got 100 people for each of your five who will contradict every word they say. So according to your weak standards of guilt, Cain wins.

Keep in mind that clearing the ballot so the worst president in American history can continue dismantling our country is a big project that has significant support. Finding 5 or a dozen or more people willing to lie is not that hard, whether for the "cause" or for more ignoble reasons. Remember the principle of the Big Lie. Lie with repetition, saturation, domination, and you too can manufacture public perception of reality. This is a dangerous moment in our history, and we must be more vigilant about basing our views on valid evidence than we have ever been. So far, there is no hard evidence, at all, that Cain did anything wrong, or even questionable. Benefit of the doubt must go to Cain.

[TigersEye]

We got 5 waiting for your candidate too. Isn’t this game fun? :-)
