Regardless of what “it” is in particular, it should have been resolved within minutes by phone, or he should have been on the next plane home if it needed discussion in person.
Holding numerous press conferences declaring “I’m going to meet with my wife in a few days to discuss what sounds like an affair or other indiscretion” belies screwed-up priorities at a moment when he MUST keep them straight.

Exactly, it should be easy to see the difference, but apparently it is not. I am not sure I buy all the accusations, but I am sure that the whole thing was handled in an inept and amateurish fashion. That is too bad as I was warming to Cain after Bachmann flamed out. Right now I do not have a horse in the race.
