If Herman Cain cannot stand up to these charges, if he refuses to, then he should step out of the race. A man big enough to run for president should be big enough to have a full and candid press conference on all of this.

Look, there's one huge dominating issue in America right now. And that is the deficits and the economy and that's got everybody's attention, properly so.
