Frankly, I think this will be a big deal for Cain’s campaign. Part of the charm of his campaign is that he’s an ordinary man who has been successful and has the morality and intellect to lead the nation. He has never held an elected office, after all, so we need to believe he’s ready for a huge jump from private citizen to President of the United States of America. But if this sordid story is true, he a hypocrite and a phony. There is no honest way around it. And it doesn’t matter that Clinton was too; we all know that. The Left was cool with that, but we conservatives expect more from our leaders than lies and claptrap.

Yeah... let’s assume it all comes out he had a mistress for 13 years? I’m not like shocked if it was true. It just means that Cain is a guy with feet of clay. Whether that sinks him, that should be up to the voters and not to the media.

I haven't been for Cain because I have thought he is a phoney.

He is as quick to point the finger of blame and never accepts ANY responsibility for his mis-steps.

I don't trust him! I'm not in the least bit surprised to learn of this woman and wouldn't be to learn there are others out there.

I agree, I was Herman's biggest supporter through all this, but now, I'm sorry, I am dumping him if this is true. We do not need this crap, very bummed and sorry for his wife. I really , really wanted to see him run on the GOP ticket against Obummer.
