2012 United States presidential election
In the fall, Herman Cain became the new frontrunner for several months.  He had an economic plan called 9-9-9 that would replace the entire tax system with a 9% income tax, a 9% national sales tax, and a 9% corporation tax.  During foreign policy debates, he was not as successful.  On December 3, 2011, Cain left the Presidential race. This was after several women said that he had sexually harassed them.
