” Romney or Perry behind this? Take your pick. “

Nope.
A former board member contacted Politico.
“ The first woman was identified to POLITICO
by a former association board member
and her identity was confirmed by two additional sources.”
This particular board member was not told about the Cain settlement until he or she attended a board meeting and
trade expo in 1999.
The board member was upset that he or she wasn’t aware of the settlement earlier.
“What I took offense at was that it was clear that rather than deal with the issue, there was an effort to hush it up.
She was offered a way out to keep quiet.”

Romney or Perry behind this? Take your pick.

I had it pegged as Romney or Obama, but Perry's Arizona coordinator posted on Twitter about this three days ago, in response to another person saying that the only reason whites are supporting Cain is to prove they are not racist:

@victoria_29 @proudoftexas this is the same thing I am hearing in AZ! Wait til they actually do the oppo on @THEHermanCain. It's not pretty.

It was in poor taste for a Perry coordinator to say that whites are supporting Cain to prove they are not racist, but for the Arizona state coordinator for Perry to come out and admit knowledge of an upcoming attack on Cain three days before Politico rolled it out....just Damn!

How could this Shawnna Bolick person be that damn stupid? That's a special kind of stupid you don't run into just anywhere.

Since the Perry team will probably try and scrub this in the morning, although hard to do since others are copying it down, here's a screenshot:

It's Romney's style, IMO.

It could also be part of an early Democrat fishing expedition, as I don't think Obama's eager to run against Cain.

And it could be just some guest-in-the-net stuff, swept up in the trawling for Perry dirt. Remember that "Ever had sex with Rick Perry" effort?

Looks like a few people were able to respond feebly, "No, but Herman Cain called me hon once, and I took him to the cleaners."
