What a person is in his private life,he will also be in his public life.

That's not necessarily true. No one is perfect. I'm not excusing anything he may (or may not)have done-its just a fact of life.
That being said, I maintain,as I have all along,that Cain himself brought his campaign down.The accusations were not handled or addressed correctly by Cain or anyone on his campaign staff.
As for the "woven web of lies",the problem with that statement is that Cain himself admitted to knowing the woman,keeping the association (innocent or not)with this woman from his wife for 13 years,and flummoxed about making weak excuses such as he's "soft-hearted" and "was helping a friend",and at least one time admitted to "making a mistake", all fodder for the media and blogosphere grist-mill.Cain did it to himself-period.

“That’s not necessarily true.”

YES, it is. If I lie in my personal life, I will do it elsewhere as well. Character does NOT compartmentalize.

“As for the “woven web of lies”,the problem with that statement is that Cain himself admitted to knowing the woman...”

I agree that he did not handle this well....but it does not negate that he is being attacked with lies.
