If the accusations are true they are relevant, but if it is just a huge slander campaign by the democrats shame on them. Whatever happened to innocent before proven guilty

I don't believe the allegations are relevant. I don't believe infidelity is an admirable quality. I do however, believe if it doesn't impede ones ability to perform their job, it shouldn't matter to the public. The country spent tons of money trying to figure out the truth about President Clinton and Monica, but who cares. The only person who should have cared is still married to him. This is the way it goes in many of these cases. The husband cheats on the wife, she forgives and stays and they country is ready to fire the person. Why are these two things ever equated. The woman is an American, not a Russian spy.

Says “Most definitely it's relevant. No public servants should have flawed character or record!!!”
What proved “flawed character or record” on Cain ???
Shall we strike Moses, Thomas Jefferson, FDR, Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower, near every Kennedy, Bill C., Newt, etc.. Or just Republicans. How about Carter who lusted in his heart ?

It's MOST relevant. This is scary. When you've got power in your hand, you began to behavior differently. How can we trust policy making to him? How do we know he's not going to act in his own interests?
Most definitely it's relevant. No public servants should have flawed character or record!!!

When Bill C. said he did not have sex with that woman, was that relevant or did liberals care when he was found guilty ?
First, must be proved that Herman lied about first harassment and now affair after harassment didn't pan out. Many claimed Micheal Jackson was a pedophile.
Shooter in AZ was NOT influenced by Palin & Fox. Learn from your many JUMPS TO CONCLUSIONS that DON'T PAN OUT...

They are relevant if he is willing to lie about them. He has preached fidelity and honesty. Could he support himself for President?
So far he has stated 8 or 9 women are lying about him.
It is clear he does not want to go down the path of follow up questions as he seems to have a ton of voice mails and texts to explain. I suspect he will bow out instead of dealing with these issues.
