I don’t see anything wrong with what Newt is saying...

Anonymous accusations that are sealed and the woman involved is not going on the record or breaking the agreement is a hard thing to address...

If he comes out sharing what she alleged in the agreement, in order to defend himself, when SHE is not talking, or even named- he looks awful..

the gal is not allowed to talk, and is not asking to talk...he gets to go public with his side...it would feel unfair to any woman involved in real cases of real harassment...

Once there is a face and an actual story to react to— time to talk. And he made it clear last night that he was going to do just that.

ABC asked Herman today about Mitt saying the accusations were serious and disturbing. Herman agreed. They are serious, and they are disturbing. Hence the presser today to deal with it...

All these other candidate want this door shut...they are drowning for attention out there, meanwhile Herman Cain’s problem with name ID is no longer an issue, he is the lead story most every hour for over a week, he is raising money like crazy, and he is NOT dropping in the polls....

They are all eating their hats....they desperately want this to stop and back to the issues...Herman wants the same thing as well...

I am looking forward to the presser...

now I am hearing that Karen gal is coming forward to identify herself....she hopes her resume will help convince folks will find her credible....I don’t care about any of that until we find out EXACTLY what she believes would warrant an accusation of sexual harassment... I think her idea will be much different than most Americans will view as legitimate claims of harassment, hence her not wanting the confidentiality lifted...

All that Newt and others have done is stress the importance of taking on these accusations head on and soon!
Having an accuser come forward personally, must be addressed forefully.
I think #4 is a fraud, but Herman must make the case!

“Not after he shot off his mouth about Cain today”

I might have missed something. Didn’t he just say that Cain needs to answer the charges? I think he is only saying that because you now have a gaggle of women making accusations. When it’s one anonymous person it is one thing, when you have a group that is clearly another. The longer Cain lets this fester the worse it will be for him and us.

Yep, I was too until today.........In fact, any of the GOPers who don't stand up for Cain have lost my respect......

Newt is a great historian and speaks well most of the time, however, he is a RINO!
