DescriptionHerman Cain was awfully lucky last night. Were it not for Rick Perry’s “oops” moment, much of the political world’s discussion today would be over his own remarkably bad debate performance.

For example, Cain was asked about the sexual-harassment allegations that have surfaced over the last couple of weeks. It led to this remark:

“I value my character and my integrity more than anything else. And for every one person that comes forward with a false accusation, there are probably, there are thousands who would say none of that sort of activity ever came from Herman Cain.”

This was probably a prepared line, and that only makes it worse. Is Cain really counting on his harassment-to-non-harassment ratio to make himself look better? “Sure,” he seemed to be saying, “I’ve been accused by several women. But there are plenty of women who haven’t accused me.”
