A fourth woman alleging that GOP presidential front-runner Herman Cain sexually harassed her will be detailing the experience during a press conference Monday afternoon in New York City, RadarOnline is reporting. The is represented by famed attorney Gloria Allred

Allred’s client will be the first to speak publicly about Cain, who has been the subject of intense media scrutiny after three other women anonymously alleged that he sexually harassed them in the 1990s while CEO of the National Restaurant Association.

She was ready to go Friday
They had to take time to coach the girl on what to say and teach her how to make herself cry. Takes the weekend to rehearse everything

Kind of like Tiger Woods?

Cain strikes me as a likeable goof in social settings who probably told some "crude jokes", or maybe even made some inappropriate suggestions. However, if he had been involved with multiple women some would have come forward by now. All this stuff is he said she said type things.

I don't like Cain. I think he would be a failure as the Pub candidate and a disaster as a POTUS, but I like even less women who want to be treated as equals and then get upset when some guy tells a bad joke or makes an unwanted advance. I haven't heard anyone accuse Cain of firing someone, or denying them a promotion, because they refused his advance.

Gloria Allred should be referred to as Gloria Allgreen.

I see this as possibly a wash, considering that it’s , after
all, Gloria Allred, who even the deaf, dumb and blind now have more than an impression is an attention-whore given more to self-promotion than seeking “justice”.
Depending on what’s revealed at the presser, it might hurt
Cain a little bit, as it brings the count to FOUR, and seeks
by that to establish a “pattern” , even though the previous three provided no details and were happy enough to go away for an attractive severance package. I think regardless of what’s revealed, we’ll be pretty much back to Square One in a few days: those who support Cain will still support him, those who don’t , still won’t.
The overall objective of all this of course is still to make the Republican nomination safe for Mitt Romney, and further gin up the notion that this OTHER candidate, Herman Cain, is “unelectable”. That’s all it’s about—the Left wants Romney.

Yawnsville. Either present proof or go away. “She said, he said” is not sufficient to destroy someone’s political career.

[wmfights]

He is going to have to have raped, slapped or been a total dog to her in order for any of this to stick at this point.

I think the damage has already been done. It's probably unfair, but there is an element of irony to this. He has probably been done in by the same type of unwarranted baseless accusations that he has been so willing to make of others.

[dforest]

Cain hasn’t been “done in”. Now Perry, he done himself in.

[wmfights]

Cain hasn’t been “done in”.

Keep telling yourself that. He's damaged goods now. The accusations won't disappear, ask Newt.

[MNJohnnie]

Find it hilarious that the same Perry supporters who are convinced he will be resurrected in the polls any day now, turn right around and claim Cain is fatally damaged by a transparent smear job.

The irony is in the fact the same people who scream “Perry was smeared” want to turn around and pimp a smear at Cain.

Helping smear Cain will not help save Perry. If anything, it puts the Perry camp firmly against the opinions of the vast bulk of the very Conservative voters Perry will need to attract to win.

[beandog]

You’re just hoping the damage has been done. I think not. Certainly it’s not going to help your man Perry.

[CainConservative]

Allred?

Excuse me. EXCUSE ME!!!

[MNJohnnie]

Keep telling yourself. Odd how you can think that when the polling data and fund raising data tell exactly the opposite story.

Really think it is going to “help” Perry when you have every talk radio host from Rush Limbaugh to Sean Hannity defending Cain day in and day out?

If Cain is so damaged, why is your guy still polling in single digits in every poll?

So lie to yourself all you want, don't try lying to people who know better

[stillafreemind]

I agree. Perry is finished this time around. The thing that gets me is that Perry and his supporters are doing exactly what the MSM wanted them to do..keep adding fuel to the fire and act as if Cain was guilty.

ALL republicans should be lined up and in front of a camera standing up for Cain. Cause guess what? Perry has kind of sunk on his own this time around. But if he should decide to run again..do not think that this treatment won’t be used on him too.

I should add that I don’t think Cain should point the finger to anyone (Perry included) except the women that are falsely accusing him. It doesn’t help his image any.

Many years ago, i was in chicago for work, and while drinking a cold one, a black man who said his name was barry soreoto, walked up to me and propositioned me for gay sex. I beat him to a pulp. Gloria, will you represent me????

I was in chicago and I'm pretty sure that i was at that same bar and saw and heard everything and I am willing to testify.

Gloria, please send the contract with financial terms, as well as the particulars that I will need to attest to to USSALASKA at FR.

If the price is right I can change my Daytimers to make me appear in Chicago at an agreed upon time/date {errr provided I wasn't incarcerated at the time}.

[TexasFreeper2009]

what about the anonomous allegations that Romney is a bigamist?

or what Romney mooned people with his magic Mormon underware?

Romney must address these allegations immediately! Romney must get ahead of the story! Romney must come clean on these very serious allegations from my annonomous source

[Bridesheadfan]

The lefties are shooting themselves in the foot on this one. People are sick of this kind of “gotcha” crap, and Cain is gaining more sympathy than ire from the public because of this.

[manic4organic]

Meanwhile, Cain's Iowa fund is up to $665K.

This will do exactly what it is intended to do - cause reasonable suspicion that Cain is a serial philanderer. (My emphasis)

I'm puzzled in that all accusations and accusers have one common denominator, the National Restaurant Association. No one, to my knowledge, from any other company where Cain was employed has raised sexual harassment concerns.

What is with the women employed at the National Restaurant Association? Were they all super hot, causing a normal male to let a sexual innuendo slip, were they so tight assed that their thong was digging into their butt or were they just on a crusade to make his life miserable for some reason known only to them?

Perhaps they were trying to "suck up" to the boss and he rejected them and refused to play their games???

[mkjessup]

I wonder why Cain was such a womanizer during his short stint at the restaurant association, but never a single problem at all in the decades before or 12 years since. Weird.

You bring up a most fascinating fact.

United States Department of the Navy: no such complaints

Pillsbury (where Cain was a VP at the age of 34): no complaints

VERRRRRY interesting!

Self-promoting Media Ho ping (Allred). Ugh...
