Why suspend if the allegations are baseless? Me thinks that these un-vetted I-am-not-a-politicians have more skeletons in the closet than career politicians.

You obviously are an Obama supporter trolling this website.

Prove you are not a political scumbag.

Oh NOW Innocent until proven guilty is the standard?

He did admit to knowing and giving the girl money for 13 years and not telling his wife, so that one is not totally baseless.

Political outsiders wanting to really change the system are not welcome by media or the current insider players. Haven’t “earned” it, put their time in, played the game to be brash enough to say the system needs to be overhauled.

That said, the thing with this gal is weird. I understand most of the calls were her to him, begging for money. She was the one who did the odd hour calling. Almost all calls except one or two from him to her were him calling her back.

The weird part was not discussing it with the wife, about a non-family woman you’re financially helping out. That’s bizarre to me.

This doesn’t necessarily mean there was really something to the allegations. It seems at least as likely to me that Cain just got a taste of what it is to be a prominent Republican political figure and simply decided it wasn’t worth it anymore.

There were plenty of indications that, at least at the beginning, Cain was not really that serious about running for President. He didn’t seem to get serious until the polls indicated that he had a real shot at winning the nomination. Now that the nomination is seeming much less likely, he is probably less willing to pay the price than he was before.

This is really sad. Obama will be reelected. I will work hard for somebody once I decide upon a candidate, but we will have Obama for four more years.

It truly is ridiculous how sorry the state of GOP candidates is this year.

Because people believe that there is no "smoke without fire". In politics what people THINK is true is just as important as what IS true. This is a total nonsense from a moral point of view of course, but unfortunately that is the way people respond. Lies or distortions that are shouted long and hard enough become kind of true, in the sense that everyone just "knows" they are right.

Thus, as far as I understand it, none of these allegations have been proven as yet (at least not ones with any substance), but the left has assembled so many of these character attacks and coordinated them so well it doesn't really matter whether they are true or not. In the minds of the public at large, Herman Cain is now a serial womaniser/adulterer/hypocrite/molester, and the more he denies it, the more attention he draws to the allegations. Even more usefully from the POV of the opposition, because Cain has an (R) after his name the GOP gets tarred with the same brush as well.
