People who are going to vote in the upcoming primaries are probably all going to asking that question. I think that either way the truth will come out, but not on anyone's time table. Sexual harassment is bad, but it's hardly relevant when an accuser no longer has anything to do with the accusee. I think this is an election year like no other because there are so many critical issues on the table, and this isn't one of them. Certainly, we need a president that is honest, just, has good judgement, and isn't what many would call an a**hole. But we know who our opponent is going to be, we know how repugnant he is, and we know that he knows that the only way for him to be reelected is if the GOP is divided and distracted. We have to get enough people to do what is best before the primary season ends, because the chance of a decent third party candidate winning instead reelecting Obama is slim to none. I wish it was different, but that's the way it is.

And if both parties are doomed to take the country off the ledge either way, it hardly matters.

Cain's worst enemy is the ignorance of many Americans who base their votes on stupid issues they don't understand, and issues irrelevant to what kind of President he would be. Along with liberal Republicans, and so-called "Conservatives" who somehow find ways to support guys like Romney and Perry over Conservatives like Herman Cain.

If Michelle Bachmann doesn't make any significant gain with tonight's debate, and I doubt she will at this point, I would like to see her finally drop out and endorse, AND campaign with Herman Cain along with Sarah Palin. I think Cain's our only Conservative chance, but I will support any of the actual Conservatives if they get the nomination. I hope the Conservative candidates attack Romney and Obama instead of each other. Attacking each other only hurts us Conservatives, and help Romney and Obama. There are also ways to disagree with each other without attacks that just build resentment and anger between Conservative candidates, and their supporters.

his is now the second time he’s popped off with bogus assertions and insinuations.

I don't see the problem. Some say it is bogus, some say it is not. What we know is that the Politico journalist has been accused of being related to the woman.

Not at all. I support Cain and think he needs someone else representing him in front of the camera. Why would anyone consider her a RINO for that? There are plenty of establishment types critical of him and saying he should get out (as if it’s their choice) and they’re suspect. But I’ve seen Perry supporters do similar things, especially to Cain supporters on this forum. Politics is passionate.

"What if"....exactly. "What if" it's all true?

On the other hand, "What if" everyone took another hard look at Newt. At least he's been through the wringer so many times, the juicy stuff has been squeezed dry. If he'd come around on AGW, the Tea Party and immigration, he'd have my complete attention. He's just the man for a "New Contract", as far as I'm concerned. It was Newt who masterfully held the Clintons in check. Time for the Phoenix to rise again.

Compared to the possibility of pulling the country out of its economic nosedive, I don’t care.

Cain needs to prove he can attract top-tier lieutenants. Amateur hour is over.

By the way, that Madison quote on your profile page is obviously bogus.

NRA has released the 2 accusers from confidentiality. Can Cain obtain the records and results of the investigations and release them? If they were frivilous as he says it would really help his case.

I think you’ve been smoking dope, judging from your posts and whom you’ve supported.

Which is why Herman Cain is leading in the polls. Conservatives are sick of career politicians, who have only destroyed the nation at different rates, pandered to illegal immigrants disregarding the vast majority of U.S. citizens, and obvious aren't willing to sacrifice anything themselves for the good of the country, or risk taking the obvious radical actions needed to save the country.

It's pathetic enough that Herman Cain's words throughout the years on illegal immigration make him the only front runner for President to even have a tough stance on such a serious issue. That alone is enough to make you support the man. He thinks like a normal Conservative American, and that's why we like him. We are tired of the majority of politicians who are so out of touch with us, it's just perplexing. Cain is on the right side of all the major issues.

The way many career politicians act has gotten tiresome. There are people out there who think you have to sound like a scripted politician, who's been practicing their entire life on how to speak and act, to qualify for President. You can't talk like a normal guy who's not completely out of touch with most U.S. citizens, and be qualified to be President by some ignorant people who want the scripted robot type.

Why can't they talk like a normal intelligent person like Herman Cain? That's refreshing in a candidate. He's not an actor playing out a scripted campaign, and presidency, where you rarely see them with any substance. He's not a robot who's so afraid to say one little thing that isn't politically correct that he can't speak without a script, or has to make vague useless remarks just to be safe. Everybody says things, at least in private, that aren't politically correct, and they aren't going to get upset hearing politicians do it.

Herman Cain can win this campaign easy if we stick with him. The media tries to brainwash us into thinking a candidate has too much baggage to be elected. They want us to drop our support because we think the candidate has been attacked too harshly, and have become unelectable. It's what they did to Sarah Palin, and it worked on a lot of Conservatives who liked her, but had started to doubt she could be elected. It's a liberal strategy to get Conservatives to abandon certain Conservative candidates that liberals fear. It's a lie, and it can't work unless we allow that unwarranted doubt to seep into our conscience by constantly being bombarded with liberal lies.

Cain can win this Republican primary, and the presidency fairly easy if we stick with him, and counter liberal slander with everything we have. Let these ridiculous lies solidify, and motivate you even more to get Cain elected. The fact that Cain's been attacked as bad as he possibly could be, without it causing much damage, and even helping him raise more cash than he has in his entire campaign shows he can't be stopped unless us Conservatives just give up on him for some reason. They have done what they could, and it's backfiring on them. After tonight's debate I hope he pulls away from Romney by a significant margin. The Cain Train can't be derailed by the liberal scumbags, and he has proven that.

A lot of the time that criticism is deserved because the person is criticizing Herman Cain, because they are supporting one of the liberal Republicans in the race like Perry. I would like for every Conservative to get around Cain now, but you're only a RINO if you are supporting one of the liberal candidates while attacking the Conservative front runner.

You're falling for the liberal strategy they used against Sarah Palin. They use a constant, and vicious attack against certain Conservatives they fear. Their goal is to make us Conservatives start questioning whether they are electable or not. It worked against Sarah Palin, and started making a lot of people start thinking she couldn't be elected even though they preferred her to begin with, but then switched their support before she even announced she wouldn't be running. They aren't going to be able to destroy Herman Cain unless we allow them to do so by dropping our support of him based on their liberal lies.

Cain has been attacked as viciously as possible, and it hasn't done much damage to his campaign, and has even helped him raise much more cash than he was getting previously. If that couldn't derail the Cain train by now, then they won't be capable of doing so, unless too many Conservatives like you fall for their strategy. We should all stick with Cain, and should never allow the liberal mainstream media to cause us to drop support for a Conservative candidate, based on their manipulating tactics.
