Multiple accounts of alleged sexual harassment and an alleged thirteen-year extramarital relationship recently brought to the public’s attention have easily led many to wonder if GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain will drop out of the race, and if he does, when.

On today’s Sound-Off on MSNBC, The Nation’s Melissa Harris-Perry commented on Cain’s campaign after these allegations, saying that, despite the troubled situation Cain’s campaign is in, it is not likely that Cain will drop out before the first vote is cast in January.
