I think Cain blew it with these allegations.
I think he could have defended the sexual harassment charges and been OK.
But this doesn't smell good at all.
It’s crazy, it looks like the Cain people are just lashing out in all directions to divert attention from something else.
I agree, Allegra.
Everybody was upset and sympathetic when these charges emerged.
As a non-Cain supporter, I was totally on his side. These seemed like charges dug out of the waste can... just baseless smears.
But it’s what’s happened next that looks so bad for Cain.
Mishandling, bungling, accusing others, incompetence.
This story should have been a done deal in 24 hours.
Mr. Cain and only Mr. Cain and his staff are to blame that it is still big news.
