White said she came forward because of the way Cain's been disparaging the various women who've accused him recently of sexual harassment.
"It bothered me that they were being demonized, sort of, they were treated as if they were automatically lying, and the burden of proof was on them. I felt bad for them."
It's hard to imagine Cain's campaign surviving this, especially on the heels of the harassment scandal. He's done. And it's a great day for Gingrich, who, by comparison, is starting to seem like an altar boy (not exactly hard to do in the Republican Party, where political, ethics and sexual scandals run rampant).
The GOP presidential pack is motley crew of misfits and miscreants. By default, Gingrich has found himself atop this garbage pile as he's watched the campaigns of Donald Trump, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and now Cain implode. His chief rival at the moment, Mitt Romney, is stuck at around 20% and is not liked by voters or GOP leadership. His reign at or near the top is misleading. It's not because voters want him there, it's because they've had no one else. That they've now jumped aboard the skeleton-filled NewtWagon is proof positive.
Newt may have cost himself much support among hardcore conservatives with his controversial amnesty-like position on immigration offered at the last GOP debate. Additionally, we've yet to see how his many past, well-documented political and personal indiscretions and transgressions will truly impact his campaign. They nearly sunk him once before. Gingrich is his own worst enemy. To be sure, his mouth, if not his past, will put him in the hot seat once again.
The question then is, who's next to lead this sorry pack? Is Jon Huntsman, the only Republican with the integrity, character and experience to be president, going to have his turn at the top? Will Romney win by default after Newt's next fall? One thing's for sure, the GOP campaign train wreck will surely provide more entertainment over the next several months.

The GOP is totally incapable of governing this country. If we want to save this country, indeed, if we want so save the planet, let's fire the GOP.
The Republican have their own book written for them and by them of code words to say that enhances personal prosperity and financial growth in their own glass houses.
what happened to its only sex, this doesnt matter! I remember that being screamed from the rooftops as Clinton was having an affair while in the White House!
A candidate should be judged on his/her entirety, to be sure. But additional weight should be added on the issues he/she claims are important. So when a candidate roars about the fall of society over gay rights and it turns out he's frequenting airport restrooms, then his personal orientation becomes an issue not because of what it is, but because of the hypocrisy.
This is a very easy concept to grasp. I'm sure you can do it if you try. Even if it makes your world uncomfortable.
His only hope is to run third party like Gary Johnson is considering. Maybe they could join forces?
Yeah. Right. When non-bipedal pigs fly.
Sorry CEO Cain, your national fame ends in Nov. 2011, instead of Nov. 2012.
