You have to read pretty far down into the Politico story before you find that response from Herman Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon, and the article sticks all the exculpatory material at the end:
Ron Magruder, Denise Marie Fugo and Joseph Fassler, the chair, vice chair and immediate past chairman of the National Restaurant Association board of directors at the time of Cains departure, said they hadnt heard about any complaints regarding Cain making unwanted advances. I have never heard that. It would be news to me, said Fugo, who runs a Cleveland, Ohio, catering company, adding such behavior would be totally out of character for the Cain she knew. Hes very

Looks like they have good intel inside the Cain camp - that “cut back in hours” getting him out of the limelight will help. Godspeed, sir. The Marxist press will devour you if they can.
Here we go...trash the contender by the left....doesn,t matter if this is true or not, it makes the Cain campaign to stop their momentum and defend.....liberals are despicable. Pray for this Country.
“Hours after the Politicos Roger Simon accused the GOP of being racist, the Politico begins a sincere effort to destroy the black guy running to be the GOPs Presidential nominee. The opposition dump on Herman Cain has begun in earnest. Before getting into the details, lets pay attention to what this means.
It means for certain that Herman Cains lead in the polling is real very, very real. People are taking him seriously. Mr. Cain is about to spend a week in Washington answering questions and giving speeches. Someone wanted to make sure he has a miserable week..”
Red State brings out an important point when they say:
“Hours after the Politicos Roger Simon accused the GOP of being racist, the Politico begins a sincere effort to destroy the black guy running to be the GOPs Presidential nominee. ..”
What a bunch of phonies!
Well, Cain has now entered Palin’s world, he dared get too popular and it will only get worse with the accusations.
So, the Politico claims there were two settlements based on anonymous sources... but former chairs of the Nat. Restaurant Association don’t even know about it? (And Politico’s counsel probably told their hit men Journolistas that even if the chairmen did know, that they couldn’t comment... all to heighten the sense of “guilt” by suggestion). Seems very, very fishy.
It also seems like Politico is using the one actual (alleged) harassment case- which the Politico article notes Cain won, and that the woman had to pay his attorney fees- in a sneaky, suggestive way of implying that it was the supposed “settlement” case.
And even if there was a settlement, as this blog notes: “To be fair to Cain, allegations of this sort can be made and settlements can be reached on the advice on corporate counsel even if the question of fault is ambiguous”. (IOW, it’s not a court case, so the allegations aren’t put forth before a jury to assess factual credibility):

This nonsense is truly sad. But you know what, it’s really the history of politics in America.
My goodness, we’d have been scandalized by the salaciousness of the political diatribes of the late eighteenth century and even more by those that were directed at General Jackson.
At some point in the not too distant future I’m envisioning a unit of currancy with Herman Cain’s picture on it. Or maybe a credit card type of thing. lol
LBJ won reelection easily.
Check this out. It was found by someone on www.theothermccain.com, username CaseyGeorge.
Looks like it may be Perry.

Interesting. If you follow the tweet history, it’s pretty obvious they are circulating this story pretty heavily.
born December 13, 1945 in Memphis, TN (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)
Parents were
Luther Cain Jr., born March 16, 1925 in TN, died March 29, 1982 in Atlanta, GA
Lenora Davis, born July 27, 1925 in GA, died August 20, 2005 in Atlanta, GA
Both parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth (Meets the Jus Sanguinis Requirement)
Herman Cain is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama ISN'T!
Click on the cane, (#3 in rotation.)
And that’s from Perry’s AZ coordinator no less.
This calls for celebrations. Aimlessly throwing these accusations, akin to drukenly and randomly firing a shotgun into a Marine battalion, is proof positive that the militant leftists are mortified of Cain and are aware of how much support he can take from Obama. Time to bring out the champagne, whiskey, vokda and maybe, for some, the cigars and cigarettes too
That woman is dumb as a bag of rocks. The Perry campaign knowing about Politico going after Cain three days before....God she is dumb to let the cat out of the bag.
excerpt:
"...the woman tells how Gore greeted her at the door of his room at the Hotel Lucia for the 11 p.m. appointment with a hug that "went on a bit long," then quipped "call me Al." Hotel staff had told the licensed therapist when booking her that the client was Al Gore, but that he was going under the name "Mr Stone."
Gore allegedly asked her to focus on his abdominal area and adductors -- the inner thigh muscles -- as well as his back and other areas.
While his lower body was covered with a sheet, she said, Gore "became vocal" with "muffled moans" and asked her to go lower, getting angry when she refused.
"It appeared he was demanding sexual favors or sexual behaviors," the woman said.
She then asked Gore to show her where he wanted to be massaged and he "grabbed my hand, shoved it down under the sheet to his ***** **** area, my fingers brushing against his ***** and firmly planted my hand on his pubic crest region and said to me 'There!' in a very sharp, loud, angry-sounding tone."
The woman told police she was caught in "a perfect storm" in a room with someone who was "Teflon-coated in terms of his credibility and celebrity status"..."
Police specifically responded to claims by the woman -- who said she remained clothed through the alleged encounter -- that she had noticed her black slacks had "stains" on them.
Police said they did not collect her attire because they believed it would not provide evidence.
At this point, the Police Bureau does not consider this an ongoing investigation unless new evidence is received in this case, Wednesday's police statement said.

Nurse backs up Clinton rape charge
Attended Broaddrick's wounds after alleged assault in Arkansas
June 26, 2003
[a few excerpts from article...]
Kelsey recalls Broaddrick saying the meeting with Clinton began with small talk, and "she was a little surprised he was by himself."
"She said he was showing her locations outside the window there in Little Rock, and then, all of a sudden, he just kind of grabbed her and started kissing her," remembers Kelsey.
"He overtook her and pushed her to the bed, and from that point on it was just a rape."
Kelsey says Broaddrick explained how her lip became swollen: "He bit her lip to try to keep her from struggling with him."
Here is where the evidence is mounting up. McCain’s blog
Here is a non-denial from Cain´s spokesman
