are true. but i don t think it matters at this point. that s the problem. there are so many of them that it doesn t matter. he can t get his message out. every single one. these women could be lying and cain is done. so the big winner today, newt gingrich. he s up 15 in iowa, 28 in south carolina, and with cain s vote breaking 3-1 to him. newt gingrich is celebrating. but iowa, is it 32 or do you think it s real? i think it s real. everything i am hearing is the romney people are panicking. he s been frozen around 20. he s not going up. newt is up. he is serious. the race is changing and people have to wake up to that. romney is saying gingrich is a life-long politician and newt is saying i can win, i m a conservative. and conservative is better than attacking. why? well, romney, as a businessman he cost jobs by
from a fiery herman cain in the wake of a new scandal. right now the republican presidential candidate is on the campaign trail in ohio, vowing to push ahead with his campaign. last night, on hannity, ann coulter said mr. cain deserves the benefit of the doubt. and we find out she s got the whole combo platter, bankruptcy, a sexual harassment suit in the past, she hasn t paid rent all year, this year she lost a judgment against her for defamation and stalking! she s an unemployed single mother. you have the whole combo platter of an unbelievable witness. megyn: joining me now, radio talk show host monica crowley and terra dadell, founder of the terra dadell group. does ann have a point that this woman has credibility problems in her view, given her legal history, and she also went on to say the media she believes has been way too quick to pile on to herman cain, to accept these allegations as true, write him off and so on, and some have drawn a contrast
pointing by the attorney general? and the cain train will push on, despite new accusations of a, quote, casual 13 year affair. herman cain insists this is a lie, and it s part of a conspiracy to get him out of the race. does he deserve the benefit of the doubt? we ll debate it, next. they are attacking my character, my reputation, and my name. in order to try and bring me down. when you have tough pain, do you want fast relief?
was covering that. at first, because that was a real hot potato and if the media was wrong about something of that magnitude, they would open themselves up for lawsuits. megyn: they could ruin a presidential campaign. what s happening here? i have to say i never thought herman cain was a real serious candidate. he s been promoting this book. even in ohio, in the midst of this drama, even in the campaign, everyone is focusing on iowa and new hampshire, he s in ohio promoting his book. i never thought that herman cain was a serious candidate. the problem is even while these women have credibility issues, he has credibility issues. his story keeps changing, and nine the bottom line is the truth does not change. megyn: how much can you blame this on herman cain, how much can you blame this on his advisers? because there s a scathing piece in politico today, talking about how, you know, even on the latest allegation, the campaign came out through the lawyer, they said he s not going to
forgiveness. i m not saying herman cain had this affair with this woman. but if he did do you think he would be better served to come out and say i messed up, i m not proud of its and do you think that would help him with social conservatives? i think at this point there are so many allegation that have been made. it might be beyond ability of herman cain to pull this out. but i think what really turned a lot of conservatives off was the way his attorney responded to this by saying this is a private consentual matter and beyond the scrutiny of the public. that s not going to sell. voters want to know they are electing a politician with character, not character as a politician. that s unfortunately what you see with the shenanigans people are accused of being involved in. megyn: do you think, tony, as i say, one of the country s conservative leaders, do you think you could get past the
