and said none of this is true. absolutely none of this. even though you do have women coming forward claiming in their cases it is true. and you have the national restaurant association acknowledging that in two cases there were settlements, one of which i should add cain was not part of or didn't agree to. you have that credibility issue nagging the campaign and secondly it has moved into with these women coming forward it has moved into a stage this isn't a story you just can put an end to. you talked about this joint press conference coming up. so i think this is, more, as these women come forward, as the story stays alive longer and takes more of a to on the toll on the campaign, all of that said there is a still a chunk of the republican party electorate who believe this is conspiracy, a media conspiracy against cain and are going to stand by him. i think a good chunk still will. jon: this karen kraushaar
