Calm down. Please.
Let's face the awful truth: There were sexual harrassment charges leveled at Mr. Cain. At least one was awarded -- for whatever reason --- a cash settlement (don't nitpick over "severance" nonsense).
Like it or not---this is the truth. Cain was concerned about this when he ran for the Senate a few years ago. And now he's asking us to believe this is all a big plot against him.
Not even he believed in his heart of hearts that this wouldn't "come out". Doesn't really matter by whom---you want to play in the major leagues, you come trained and prepared.
Cain knew it was a potential fireball, and he did not prepare himself. And he had years, not days, to do so.

So, is your concern the fact that he DID sexually harass someone, or that he did not handle the accusation well enough to your liking?
As far as I kmow, the following facts are clear:
Firstly, Herman Cain was going to dispute the allegations.
Secondly, the woman settled with the NRA, which if we know sexual harassment cases, did some bean counting and decided it was cheaper to let her go with a $45,000 settlement than drag it in court.
Thirdly, Herman Cain DID NOT SIGN any agreement.
So which one are you concerned with? That he was indeed guilty of harassment or that he did not handle the accusation to your satisfaction?
If the latter, what should he have done to satisfy you?
