"They are attacking my character, my reputation and my name in order to try and bring me down."

"I don't believe that America is going to let that happen," he declared.

Herman, the question isn't whether or not America is going to let them bring you down. The question is "what are YOU going to do about it?"

If you can't handle unexpected challenges during the campaign (yes, even dirty ones), how are you going to handle them once you are in the Oval Office?

I believe he's handling it by refusing to quit and firing back. Did you have another suggestion? What would it look like to "handle" these specific challenges? To me, they seem to be thin, half-hearted accusations, each one intended only to use up Cain's "face time" in each news cycle, and then fade away until a fresh one replaces it.

I don't mean to imply it's not conceivable Cain might do something differently. But if a claim against a candidate is false—and the GOP contenders can all look forward to a year of such claims from the Axelrats—is there an alternative to sticking to one's guns and waiting for the news value of each successive bimbo to grow shorter and shorter? Even if we find out one of the GOP candidates really did have a secret mistress, does it really matter? Warts and all, wouldn't any of them be better—and more moral—than the larcenous traitors now running the White House?

I don't get the impression you're a fan of Mr. Cain's. But all the Republicans will be in his position sooner or later. I suppose he could give up, but it seems to me that feeding the crocodile only makes the next Republican in line an easier meal for the beast.
