It's the question on the minds of prominent bookeristas, who weigh in:
YES: Rep. Allen West: "Herman, It's Time To Move On"
From Politico, about the conservative Republican Congressman's views on the matter: "Florida Rep. Allen West is the latest conservative to call on Herman Cain to move out of the 2012 spotlight, calling him a 'distracter' and said he needs to 'move on'. 'I think that really beyond reassessing his campaign, he probably needs to understand that he is a distracter for what's going on right now, and we should move on,' West told the WMAL Morning Majority radio show. 'That would be my advice to him if I had the opportunity and he asked me.'"
NO: Frances Rice: "Herman, America Needs You"
Asserts the conservative head of the National Black Republican Association: "America needs Cain to stay in the presidential race and not buckle under the weight of the liberal smear machine. By the same token, Cain needs America to look at the facts and not condemn him based on unproven allegations. When the Obama media realized their attempts to derail Cain's campaign with false charges of sexual harassment were not working, they were quick to give airtime to a clearly troubled woman, Ginger White, who presented zero evidence to support her allegations of an affair with Cain."
Ms. Rice continues her commentary: "While appearing on television, Ms. White admitted that Cain helped her out financially with no exchange of 'sexual favors.' Then came the telling moment when Ms. White brazenly stated that she does not share Cain's political 'views.' It does not take a rocket scientist to discern that Ms. White, a black woman, is a Democrat. Without a doubt, if Ms. White had been a Republican woman making such an outlandish charge against a Democrat politician, her allegation would not have seen the light of day."
