women. it makes it more difficult for mr. cain to simply say that this is a witch hunt. this is all fabricated. this is all made up. when people come forward and they have very specific detailed allegations, it makes what they have to say more credible. but might it be seen also, if people believe herman cain, that they re gang up on him? they re trying to make this a media spectacle by all being there, obviously, with the lights, camera, action, being present as well? well, it clearly does run a risk of turning into something that looks circus like. in the beginning, none of these women wanted to come forward and none of them did come forward. until mr. cain categorically said that these women were tarnishing were making this up. these were trumped up allegations. this was a witch hunt and i think he threw down the gauntlet. he said may behavior is beyond reproach. when he did that, some would put
