I'm not going over the top in defense of Cain. The people accusing him have an established track record of false accusations. Why is that not enough for you to dismiss their accusations?

Yup there are track records to consider and that can certainly lead one to speculate one way or the other. But to dismiss the allegations out of hand because of track records is one step to far - at least for me. Regardless there is still the possibility that the allegations are true and that should caution ones approach to this.

And what is it about Cain that make accepting his assertions in this "one step too far" for you?

At least you are being consistent - you ignore the accusers track record to give them the benefit of doubt, you also ignore Cain's track record to continue to doubt him.

I choose to take into account both side's track record.
