Quite frankly, although I realize that there are plenty of people who have been softened up already, and from fatigue, if nothing else, are throwing up their hands and giving up now in the face of this latest allegation; but quite honestly, I think this one is even more suspect than any others.

If it were legit, Cain would have know this was coming more than any of the others. It’s also hard for me to believe it wouldn’t have been made much earlier. It has the feel of someone trying to ratchet up the pressure because what’s been tried so far hasn’t quite gotten the job done.

There are a number of background facts to this that make it less than wholly credible. But more than anything, if this woman doesn’t come up with some hard evidence like recorded phone calls, photos or hotel records of their alleged resort trips together, etc., then those of you believing it should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.

If it turns out to be true, I’ll naturally be disappointed, and I won’t say that the accusations have planted some doubt, but if I make my voting decisions based on what’s been presented thus far, then I will acting on innuendo, which is just what a smear campaign with nothing behind it is intended to accomplish. I won’t give them that victory.

And by the way, before putting too much stock in Cain’s attorney’s “non-denial,” while I haven’t read enough about the chronlogy to know one way or the other, it might be worth considering the possibility that Cain made his announcement prior to consulting with his attorney, and the lawyer was just in CYA mode prior to getting the facts. Of course, this wouldn’t have been a wise move by Cain, but depending on when and how he learned that this was about to come out from other sources, he may have felt that he couldn’t afford to wait for such a consultation.
