Well I liked Cain, but my support for him has dropped. Barring legitimate indications that the affair allegations where made up, I won’t be supporting Cain in any manner.

It’s not because he had an affair. It’s not because he hemmed an hawed about it when it came to the surface. It’s about if he did have the affair, why didn’t he just get it out of the way before throwing his hat into the ring?

I don’t understand. It’s such a simple strategy — get all your bad news out of the way up front, then any support you build afterwards if rock solid.

How can you run for such a high office, and not consider the skeletons in your closet.

When did he hem and haw? I read that he firmly denied it.

That's a good point, if the accusations are true, he will go down in history as a real butthead for wasting the money and time of those that believed in him.

But what if there aren't any skeletons? Should he drop out just because he is under attack? (I guess then you would say he didn't have the backbone to fight it)

You have this backwards and I don’t think you appreciate how deceitful the MSM and the Marxist Democrat party have become. Absolutely NOTHING is beneath them.

You have all the indications you should need. Any story being spread by the MSM and which goes against any conservative candidate should be immediately dismissed as a fabrication until “legitimate indications” are shown that the story is in fact true.

How will you feel if Cain is able to secure irrefutable evidence that this story was completely fabricated by this woman?

In other words, it’s about “guilty until proven innocent”. There isn’t any real evidence about any of this. You’ve let the media condition you.

What if he had no skeletons? As in what if these women are lying? How was he supposed to get ahead of that?!
