"Cain is a creep."

A question for anybody who STILL thinks this is a "setup" or some such nonsense: Why does this sort of thing NOT happen every election cycle? Think about it. We are almost at half a dozen accusers, and two people have come forward.

This is beyond embarrassing and it is shocking that Cain thought he could run for president after pulling all of this stuff in his past. It's no coincidence that Obama is POUNDING Cain by 15 points, and has even pulled a slim lead over Romney for the time being. In other words, at this point anybody who supports Cain is really supporting Obama for re-election.

Clinton, Edwards, Gingrich.

Although each case is different.  It takes some megalomaniacal b@lls to run for president.  It attracts a certain type of person.  The type of person you may vote for but not the type you would want to date your daughter.

Not to defend Clinton, Edwards and Gingrich, but only one of the three has ever been accused of sexual harassment and that was after he became president (And Clinton was only accused twice, not five separate times). To me, there is a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference between being unfaithful and being a total scumbag who assaults and/or demeans women. Both activities are wrong, but one is far, far more wrong than the other. They are not even the same ball game, let alone the same ball park.

Of the incidents, we only know the details of one, the one that came out yesterday. And that was just Herman Cain trying to have sex with a woman who was not his wife, NOT sexual assault or harassment or anything.

The Cain trolling is no longer funny AT ALL. It was amusing until these sexual allegations became serious.

Putting a hand on a woman's thigh and asking her, "You want a job, don't you?" is not right. Maybe it's not sexual harassment since she was not employed by him or his firm at the time, but it's basically the same thing: Promising career advancement if you perform sexual acts. It's just beyond creepy. And I'd be willing to overlook this if it was an isolated accusation, but now we have a second accuser who has stepped up publicly, and there are at least three others who may or may not step up too. This is worse than John Edwards, and I thought that was a tough act to top...

And now all of a sudden Obama is destroying all of the GOP candidates except Romney, and Obama has a slim lead over Romney for the first time in a long time. Guess what: It's the female voters. This circus is turning them off from the GOP offerings and pushing them back into Obama's corner. It's time for Cain to drop out.
