The Hill's Josh Lederman:
Herman Cain's presidential campaign raised one quarter of a million dollars on Monday, just as sexual harassment allegations were flying around Cain and his campaign was put in its most defensive position to date.
"It was one of our best fundraising days ever," campaign manager Mark Block said Tuesday, adding that Cain's economic message and outsider status were clearly resonating across the United States.
Also, a little quip from his chief-of staff.
Asked which candidate would be able to break through as the alternative to Mitt Romney, Block turned the tables.
"Shouldn't the question really be who will rise to challenge Herman Cain?" he asked.
