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.

[make no mistake]

Strange how the issue has become who leaked the story and not “is the story true.” I hope the ladies will be able to come forward to tell their side of the story and maybe it can be determined if Cain has a problem before the 2012 elections. I don't believe for one moment Perry leaked this and I know Obama is having a good ole time watching this spectacle.
