Look, when this story first broke, Cain had everyone on his side.
We (even non Cain supporters) were indignant that such an apparently baseless smear would be leveled against the guy.
We all know how hard it is in business not to be accused of something by some nutcase.
But why is it still a hot topic? Why wasn’t it a one-day wonder?
I think one of the reasons Rush is so passionate about it is that it reminds him of Clarence Thomas and Rush loves Clarence Thomas as do I.
Mr. Herman Cain has kept this story in the press by his own words and actions.
Doesn’t anyone wonder why?

I doubt that it has been Mr. Cain's intention to keep this story in the press. Although he has admitted that he would have liked to have handle it better... I am not sure that his words and actions would have changed the outcome.
On the other hand as I said previously in another post; the only way that this is going to turn out badly for him is if a beautiful young woman with a heart breaking story of abuse and a semen stained dress comes forward. Short of that, the name recognition and the perception that the media and the other candidates are using smear tactics against a good man are only going to increase his numbers.
Lets face it, most of the public would much rather tune into a sex scandal than boring debates about the depressing state of the economy, or a candidate droning on about foreign relations. So I definitely understand the point you are making. After watching Rick Perry great performance on Hannity tonight... I am cringing even more about the feuding going on between Republican candidates. It is just bad news.
