Bachmann has already said that Cain is too risky because the accusations could be used against him if he is nominated. Gingrich has adopted the establishment line that Cain needs to come clean (which is difficult to do with false allegations.) I was split between Cain and Gingrich before the controversy, but unless he changes his rhetoric, I don't think I can support Gingrich any longer.
I hope that these Tea Party candidates take the high road and adopt a Tea Party, instead of an Establishment, line. They should say that Herman Cain is a good man and the gutter politics of personal destruction needs to stop. They should denounce the big-money dirty politics of Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. They should urge Republicans to ignore the unproven allegations and to concentrate on the issues.
Gingrich, Bachmann and Paul have a lot more to gain, especially with the Tea Party, if they take the high road.

Hopefully Cain will take the fight to them.
Cain has come clean, he said he didn't act inappropriately with anyone. What else can he do?
Bachmann has already proven she will attack Cain every chance she gets.
You expect them to cheer lead for their opponents?
"Gingrich has adopted the establishment line that Cain needs to come clean (which is difficult to do with false allegations.)" Frankly, I think you're working the 'nominee by default' crap that benefits Milt Rominy or Barry Bassturd Obama.
