Michael Steele: Cain has not handled himself well
WLS ^ | November 1, 2011 | John Dempsey

CHICAGO (WLS) - The former chairman of the Republican National Committee says presidential candidate Herman Cain has not handled himself well, since allegations surfaced of sexual harassment allegations against him.

Michael Steele made these comments while guest-hosting "The Bruce and Dan Show" on WLS Radio Tuesday morning.

"What puzzles me though is the response. Given the fact that, as has been reported that Herman Cain had headwinds of this some nine days before the story actually broke which is more than enough time to settle down with your leadership and to figure out: A) What your response is going to be, B) Who else are you going to have out there to sort of continue that response for you. But probably more importantly is, C) getting all the facts straight and sticking with those facts as this thing unfolds,” Steele said.

Steele added Cain was hampered by not sticking to one consistent set of facts as the story was blossoming on Monday, “And so what you saw yesterday was one story in the morning a slightly different story midday, and by the evening something completely different which lends credence to the view that the campaign is in disarray, that it is, as some are asking, is Herman ready for prime time, and a host of other questions that he doesn't need at this point"

He’s handled himself far better than Steele handled himself as chairman.

Steele handled himself poorly.

Cain has done well so far IMHO.

You are correct, this is making it crystal clear who the enemies are. Too bad they come from our own side.

“He’s handled himself far better than Steele handled himself as chairman.”

My thoughts EXACTLY

Doesn't matter—It's obvious to everybody he did nothing wrong and that the Left and the RINOs want him destroyed!

They may have just put him in the WH.

Well, we now firmly know what the RINO ESTABLISHMENT talkng papers are .... not about the allegation just about how Cain “handles/handled” it.

MSM, Santorum, Steele all parroting the same line... makes this look more and more like a Rove/Romney leak and planned assault.

local 10 news in Miami has made him look like a fool and a liar. Some hatchet job I wonder if this report was carried nationwide?

Did Steele ever pay for all those strip club visits?

Memo to Mr. Steele:

You cannot possibly over estimate our indifference to your opinion.
