If you run a big company for any length of time, as Herman Cain did, it's no surprise to have accusations of sexual harassment made, and I don't think the fact that they were made proves anything by itself, even if there was a financial settlement. So I've thought all along that it wasn't the accusations themselves, but Cain's response to them, that made a difference, and his response has not been good. He basically lied when he was first asked about it, and that was a huge mistake, IMO. And now this PAC that supports him is pulling out the race card on it. True, it's not him himself saying it, but if he doesn't say anything to distance himself from the comments then everybody knows that's going to be interpreted as an endorsement of them calling it a "high-tech lynching." This is a huge mistake, if you ask me, one that's going to cost him supporters, particularly women. He wants this thing to just go away, but that's just not going to happen until he addresses this issue. But then again, if you look at my comments about him from when he first hit the scene, I'm obviously no expert on the matter
