Cheated? What makes you think that it isn't an open marriage? In any case, that is a personal matter between them IMHO.

Bullsh!t. Cain is running for President as a Republican. Nothing ticks me off more then double standards. I am holding off for now and will watch this unfold. But if Cain is caught lying or in a pattern of real sexual harrassment or infidelity then he is toast and deservedly so. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. All of this could be made up nonsense.

IMHO, based on what I see thus far, the sexual harassment charge doesn’t hold water even if these stores are true. Genuine sexual harassment would be pressure get sex in exchange for promotion, etc. If Cain just propositioned a woman who happened to work for him, or had consentual sex with a woman who happened to be drunk. it would not be genuine sexual harassment under a reasonable standard (notwithstanding our witch-hunting laws on this subject).

If Cain is caught lying in a claim that he never propositioned a woman, or had an affair, I’d agree with you.....but then I would blame him even more if he lied us about more serious matters, such as lying us into war.

To me, in any case, the serious flaw would be lying, not having an affair per se.
