I heard the audio on Red State and he sounded convincing. I guess Cain and his right hand man don’t mind throwing out unfounded false allegations.I wonder if Rahm Emmanuel will also deny it. Apparently it was Perry and Rahm according to Cains team

[Longbow1969]

Perry is absolutely adamant that his campaign had nothing to do with this story. What is Cain’s proof that the Perry campaign is behind it? Does he actually have any proof or is he just guessing.

[Grams A]

They might not have leaked the info but if someone on his staff didn’t know about it until they read it on the net, he needs to supplement his staff with people who have worked on the national scene. One of the most important jobs when you are in this arena is to have your pipelines to other campaign offices and know what is going on.

Perry denied mandating Gardisil too, didn’t he?

[bigbob]

Just wonder, given how easy it is to make “allegations” - who’s now digging to see what Newt, Perry, Willard, Santorum, et al might have in their past

Cain was telling GOP leaders today that there was a story that is coming out that would "vindicate him"

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1111/67485.html

In a meeting at the Capitol Hill Club, Cain said he and his campaign had found out who was purportedly leaking word of his behavior toward female employees at the National Restaurant Association and that a report was coming out that would disprove the charges, according to the chief of staff to one of the Georgia members.

looks like his only plan was to accuse Perry of being the POLITICO source and hope that would distract from him being accused of trying to sex up some employees. Problem for him was that nobody is buying it and now there are at least 5 women. (2 from the original story, 1 the AP is now reporting and at least 2 that work for Steve Deace). Added to that, one of the guys he hoped to pin it on, Chris Wilson, actually turned out to be a witness to Cain's actions and said it was so bad that other people at the table tried to get Cain to knock it off.  http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1111/67473.html

In an interview with POLITICO, Wilson said he was present for the episode and that it took place in the late '90s.

Wilson declined to say specifically what Cain said or did to the woman, but that the CEO's actions made other individuals at the table uneasy.

"It was very uncomfortable," said the pollster, recalling that other individuals present asked Cain to stop.

Here’s a transcript of Perry’s words from Red State:

“Our campaign had absolutely nothing to do with it. You know I’m disappointed that there’s finger pointing going on and the sooner we get back to talking about the issues that are important to the people of this country the better, and that’s how we get Americans working again.”

“There’s not anybody in my campaign that knew anything about this that’s associated with my campaign in any form or fashion. I mean it, end of story, I mean this is - it’s one of those that’s about as clear cut as I can tell ya. We found out about the allegations against Mr. Cain same time everybody else did.”

This Cain mess sounds like it has 0bama team fingerprints on it...smells like the stunt 0bama pulled to destroy his competition when he ran for US Senate.
It seems pretty stupid for another GOP wannabe candidate to pull something this stupid when it well could backfire...I smell a liberalRAT.

[RowdyFFC]

Oh Pshaw, this is the direct work of the Obama campaign and Obama’s modus operandi. Remember what he did to Jack Ryan when he got his divorce files unsealed in his bid for the US Senate? Remember Obama knocked all of his opponents for his Illinois Senate seat.

Cain is gaining in the polls and gathering momentum. Cain is a black man that could steal a lot of Obama’s voters. What better way to slow down Cain’s momentum than false allegations that he will have to defend.

Why isn’t Cain pointing at the Obama team which is much more likely than a republican opponent.

[Katarina]

First Cain goes after Perry, then Rahm who is next the Pope or maybe G.W. Bush.

Cain is disgusting pointing fingers with no proof. I just don't understand his pure hatred for Perry. Perry never did anything to him.

I was not for Cain before but after this pointing fingers at Perry after everything else he has said attacking Perry, pulling the race card and saying that about not supporting him and yet all the others if someone else won. Cain is working hard to be my enemy as much as Obama if he keeps this up. And other then VILE Romney ( I can't stand Romney) I hate to say that about a Republican ( Cain) but he is asking for it.

[org.whodat]

And just who believes, the dip shi* at red state, the little punk is limp wristed. Perry's lying, both of the people talking work for him, and Wilson has an office in Austin.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Reckless for Cain to make this allegation unless he is 100% sure.

[AT7Saluki]

This is just like NASCAR at a drafting track. Leader but not fastest car (0bama) is watching the freight train draft coming (Repub candidates), ready to blow him away. Suddenly, they all start racing side by side, killing the draft and letting the leader pull away. STUPID!
