I think the smell test works both ways. Republicans don't believe allegations against Republicans (sexual, financial, criminal, whatever) and Democrats don't believe allegations against Democrats, but each eagerly runs headlong into believing allegations against their opponent. The nature of politics, I guess.
"Republican political consultant Chris Wilson tells KTOK, an Oklahoma City radio station, that he personally witnessed Cain sexually harassing one of the two women who received settlements"
"... refused to allegations... levied by a crank toward Obama."
As the article states, the media refused because there was no evidence that it happened. When there is no story it doesn't become news. In Cain's case, there was a story.
Perception is tied to believability. People are less likely to believe a single guy who has a 26-year string of criminal convictions. Four women - one of whom is a registered Republican - carry considerably more weight.
I still don't know who to believe. The only poll that counts is the polling places in 2012.

It was getting ugly between Hillary and Barack, maybe this is similar shit.
America's puritanical politics are getting weary.
