ATLANTA—Herman Cain says he must gauge the response of supporters before deciding whether his presidential candidacy can survive under the weight of the latest allegation of inappropriate sexual behavior.
To that end, he's likely to hear from backers and doubters alike as he continues to pursue the Republican nomination.
Cain begins a bus tour of Ohio on Wednesday. He faced an early test of whether he could get back on track when he delivered a national security speech at conservative Hillsdale College in Michigan on Tuesday night.
He didn't address a Georgia businesswoman's accusation of a 13-year extramarital affair, instead sticking to his plan to present his foreign policy vision.
But some supporters have started to defect. In New Hampshire, a state lawmaker has pulled back his endorsement.
