The Cain camp had a 10 day heads up on this and really did a terrible job. If this is the way he handles things as unimportant to some as this is, not a good sign at all.
How were they supposed to comment on settlements that had confidentiality agreements?

What were they suposed to say?

We now have three women accusers and two eyewitness accounts of Mr. Cain's bad behavior. I think we reached the tipping point where you can't just keep blaming other campaigns and the very real media bias. I expect it to only get worse as the week goes on, with more people coming forward.

My prediction is he will cancel all public appearances for the rest of the week and be out of the race by the weekend.

Imagine if Cain won out in the primaries and this came out just before the general election.
Herman Cain is an unmitigated disaster waiting to happen, and no amount of funding from the Koch brothers can change that. It's up to your god-awful party to figure that out and put the brakes on it before that runaway freight train of the primary season goes too far down the track.

But heck, I'll enjoy it. Four more months of Cain just might mean four more years of Obama, so keep it up. This is great fun to watch -- for Demtards like me anyway.

If there is any real truth to the alligations I don't care who leaked it, if there isn't it is deplorable.

Look, having a sexual scandal is one thing -- most people can ignore that. People can probably even forgive a second or third complainant popping up out of the woodwork, too. But it's his handling of it -- I mean, dude, come on....he's literally the gift to the Democratic party that keeps on giving. Does he really think that reporters are just going to forget about this and let him focus on his publicity events? What is he going to do, hide in a decked out 'Cain Cruiser' bus? He's running for the f-ing White House. Maybe it's time his supporters start figuring that out.

ooh please... not that im supporting his actions or him as a candidate.. everyone has a past. i remember obama attending a certain church that had a certain reverend giving sermons there... hmmm ring any bells? and yet he was elected president. bill clinton was cheating on his wife constantly and getting it non stop in the governor's mansion and white house. and yet he was elected. most people even consider him a good president

The right wing media was defending Cain all the way until he accused one of their other darlings of leaking this. Now, they are turning on Cain in defense of Rick Perry...what a kooky mess this is.
