ATLANTA - Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is vowing to
"set the record straight" at a news conference one day after a fourth
woman — and the first to reveal her identity — accused him of
inappropriate sexual behavior a decade ago, the latest in a string of
claims that have rocked his presidential campaign.

"There is not an ounce of truth to all these allegations" and the
graphic account from Sharon Bialek is "totally fabricated," the Georgia
businessman told late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

Cain planned to address the latest furor Tuesday afternoon in Phoenix as
he seeks to stem the fallout of a controversy stretching into its second
week.

"I'm going to talk about it," Cain said, adding "we are taking this head
on" — a reversal from just days ago when told reporters he was done
answering questions about the matter.

Uh-huh. Four women so far, and one has to wonder how many more there
are, still, so to speak, in the closet.
