How many women will accuse Herman Cain of sexually inappropriate behavior before he drops out of the race? Monday began with activist lawyer Gloria Allred announcing a 1:30 PM news conference where a fourth accuser would detail unwanted sexual advances from Cain. Conservatives have every reason in the world to mistrust Allred, but her clients statements were compelling.

Unlike the first three accusers, the fourth, Sharon Bialek, did not work for Cain at that time, so her accusations were not sexual harassment. But what she did describe, if true, was a sexual assault. “He put his hand on my leg,” Bialek said, “under my skirt, and reached for my genitals. He also grabbed my head and reached for his crotch.” I said, ‘Why are you doing this? You know I have a boyfriend!’ He said: ‘You want a job, don’t you?’”
