Who hacked the files at the National Restaurant Association ?

"...Mr. Cain’s shifting explanations and the gaps in the story made it hard to determine the impact of the revelations on his long-term prospects in states like Iowa, whose crucial caucuses are just two months away...."

Cain has never been a serious contender from the beginning and everyone knows it.  He has smoozed a campaign slogan of 9-9-9 as if a well researched economic strategy.  There are underlying agendas that Cain is volunteering to be a target for, namely "How does the RNC win over the "Black Vote" and "How do we get the American public serious about "The Flat Tax" that is already a bill in the House of Representatives.

Cain is a sympathetic figure in that every shot fired at him only increases his popularity as if 'the target on his back' is insurmountable without a strong grassroots willing to absorb the shots better than he can.

The real subject is not the 'sex scandals' although Republicans could not care less about sex scandals, ie: David Vitter.  The real subject is the funding and the law breaking of desperate people.  This is the second money scandal to arise with these candidates, the first was with Romney and now this one.  There is a third which is the sequestered monies of Rick Perry.  He is not a candidate funded by many grassroots organizations or volunteers or contributors, but, by the religious right of Texas which eyes the presidency as their right of passage to carry out their holy directives.

The entire RNC field is bizarre.  The Tea-Evangelicals are trying desperately to find the perfect candidate while the remaining RNC party simply holds on to the one candidate that may be electable.  Regardless, of the scandalous monies involved in funding the RNC and their success is deceiving the electorate, they sincerely are not a sincere party anymore, as demonstrated by ignoring the one candidate in the field that could actually win the election on credentials, Jon Huntsman.  The RNC is old world and this is just more of it.
