I'm extremely familiar with Clarence Thomas. There's a BIG difference between winning elective office, and getting confirmed for an appointed job.
There's also a BIG difference between an accuser who comes forward and names herself and one who doesn't.
The point is that Thomas was able to get the elected republicans to NOT throw him under the bus because of the way he handled himself. Cain is the same spirit. The question we have to ask is, are WE going to throw him under the bus?
Or are we better than that?
