Iowans oddly unmoved by vague, 12-year-old allegations about Cain (unimpressed with Politico)

Some guy called a radio program last night and said he was a victim of this kind of nonsense. He was a manager in a store and HR informed him that a female coworker reported him for harrassment. He wasn’t allowed to know who the woman was or what he supposedly did to her. However, he was transferred out of the store and told he could no longer work there. He was permitted to transfer to another store.

If I were him, I would have started a defamation lawsuit and sued the woman as well as the store.

Bill Clinton got a pass for Juanita & Monica from the media - I can give Herm a pass on this...

Normal people are fed up with this crap, and understand the difference between actual proven misconduct and vague allegations that been investigated and dismissed.

The ones who will cling to the fantasy that Mr. Cain is guilt of some misbehavior are only those who would never support him under any circumstances anyway.

RUSH just said that Herman Cain enjoyed his largest FUND RAISING DAY, YESTERDAY, AFTER THIS SMEAR STORY BROKE!

I think people are furious at the usual inside the beltway DC crowd deciding what candidates the "little people" shall have. I know I am.

Did Cain have a sheaf of strategy papers on the desk or a CD player with a Michael Bolton track cued up?

If it was the latter, he'd lose any chance of my vote, irrespective of any "sexual misconduct" issues. I mean... Michael Bolton? That would show an extreme lack of judgement.

yep, that’s what I have been saying all along, the only reason Romney is even close at this point is that the anti Romney vote is being split between so many others.

As the 1%’ers like Santorum and Bachmann start dropping out Cain will pull ahead by double digits.

The labor secretary, called every one asswociated with the tea party teabaggers, and to me that is sexually offensive..but she is a democrat and it is all right...

Maybe we should sue her for sexual harassment. You know, the whole "color of authority" argument and the fact that pretty much anyone with a job is subject, in some way, shape, or form, to the Department of Labor.

“If it comes from the East, pay attention to it the least.”

“If it comes from Mexifornia, scan it for pornia.”

If it comes from the MSM, use it for toilet paper.

LOL! What the MSM has failed to notice or admit, is that the public at large is tuning them out in greater numbers than ever before. If this keeps up, before long the MSM will be talking only to themselves.

I found the word “oddly” in the title to be, well, “odd”. It reveals that the thought this would “work”, and are puzzled that it didn’t.

Or possibly extreme sarcasm, which doesn't always come over in print. It sounds like the type of headline I'd write.

Nonsense! Ask Huckabee about 2008, Dole about 1988, or Bush 1 about 1980!

You could also ask Bush the Elder about 1988, when he came in third in Iowa, behind Sen. Porkbelly Dole and Pat Robertson.

In the end it will boil down to he (Cain) said, they ( the libs ) said.

Actually its not even that.
There is no "they" - as all we have are second or third hand inferences from anonymous sources.
And there is no "said". "Something" happened that didn't include physical contact but was construed as sexual harassment...
Just a bunch of 'nothingness' at this time - and its foolish that anyone is running with it before fleshing out the substance of the accusation. Politico, Rove, and the MSM are so much in the tank to support the status quo of the Big State that they'll trash any conservative at the drop of a hat. Just shows them to be shills to be ignored.

This article seems reasonable. So far, this has helped Cain, not hurt him.

That was my first thought too. Why is it “odd” that vague accusations, that are obvious below-the-belt attempts to just smear Cain, aren’t having an impact? Sometimes these writers don’t even see their own bias.

The other day I thought I heard on CNN that the White House had stated that they feared Romney the most. If I heard right...I was wondering, “why would they release that?”. Of course it can only be to misdirect. It’s not Romney at all, I think they’d love for the election to be Obama vs. Romney - they’d have a chance.

THEY DON’T WANT CAIN!!! He is their nightmare.
