In an interview with Wolf Blitzer, Herman Cain said a new accuser would be coming forward to accuse him of having a 13-year affair with him.
No links yet as the story is currently breaking and details are still being released. Apparentally a Georgia TV station has the exclusive.

“your starting from the assumption that the story is true. “
How do you get that? I thought I was dang generous to Cain after hearing a string of accusations already, and now another one surfaces.
I SAID, The accusers gain everything and lose nothing.
What more do you want? Yes, frankly, where there is this much smoke there probably is a fire burning somewhere, but since I was being generous I didn’t say that. Now, I will say it. He is probably toast. (There. Fixed it.)
There is a theory that he is (or was) at a very expensive private school in Australia.
Even IF the relationship was true, the problems I have with it are CNN linking her with the “accusers”, like it’s the same as a criminal sexual harassment allegation, and why, if the woman knew him for so long, would she come forward to try to ruin his character, marriage and career with such obviously strategic timing.
Chris Wallace on FoxNews just said it’s supposedly a “14 yr. sexual relationship.” Well, then she should have actual evidence, letters, messages, some record after 14 years. If she doesn’t, it’s the same as all the other fruitcakes trying to take him down.
I agree this is the Axelrod strategy, but Cain also wasn’t doing well with body language (rapid blinking and eye fluttering.) I don’t think he survives this, despite Clinton’s immunity, or impunity. Maybe this is Santorum’s moment.
Cain always has three responses. He makes a claim the first day, the second day he says it was a joke, and the third day he flips and says, “I’m not backing away from that”.
Because he’s done that so often I have little faith in what he says and many others say the same. As to the women, this is the 4th woman to speak out - after they were exposed by others. Most women would not want the harassment speaking out brings.
So, I don’t know. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. This last woman’s claim should be easier to verify or refute. She said he flew her places to meet with him and gave her gifts and money. None of us know all of the truth yet.
Remember how Paula, Gennifer and the others were vilified?
Gee, how many more weeks are you willing to give these people to produce some fire? Here we are, about four weeks into this thing, and we still have *zero* evidence anything nefarious occurred.
Don't you find it at all odd that still not one hotel manifest, restaurant receipt, Hallmark card, or anything else has surface to actually substantiate an allegation?
Remember when Cain said “I don’t even know who this woman is”, when Bialek first spoke out? He said “I’ve never seen her before”!
