As was obvious, you missed my point. I threw an unsubstantiated allegation against you. Do you acknowledge things you haven't done with a "I messed up" ? Cain's problem is that he wasn't prepared for gutter attacks from a party that will do anything and everything to win. It's why so many good, talented, and accomplished people don't want to run for office, precisely because they don't want to be (or their families) subjected to gross slander.
