Washington (CNN) Herman Cain's campaign says it raised more than $400,000 on Monday, a "clear vote of confidence from his supporters," after the story broke alleging he had been accused of sexual harassment while head of the National Restaurant Association.
"In the last 24 hours, the Friends of Herman Cain campaign has had the single best day of fundraising since the start of the campaign," Mark Block, Cain's chief of staff, said Tuesday night.
Block said Monday's donations, both online and by phone, doubled the normal daily average in Cain's campaign to become the Republican presidential nominee.

By whom? Do you really want us to have the opinion that it is anybody's business outside of those responsible to making sure it was spent wisely? Shall we be concerned how much of your money was spent on whatever you spent it on?
As long as the money was raised and disbursed in accordance with the laws, by a long shot, I trust any businessman with a long record of success to responsibly spend that money than any career politician.
The Rush buy was a masterstroke.The O'Reilly shining was a multiplier.
The absorption of the lethally-intended smear from the Rovian deathstar was galvanizing.
This is an exceptional man.
He evinces American exceptionalism.
I could not agree with you more.
Dittos!
Add to it, Cain’s immediate acceptance of the bloviator’s request to come on once a week was the perfect cherry on top to the entire interview.
A remarkably foolish question from the Rick Perry Reporter. Donations poured in Monday & Tuesday as a direct result of the smear campaign against Cain.
Eric Bolling said that agreement can be bought out by offering her $40K. He's right.
The elite are craping in their pants
The sorry thing about this “report” is the idiot lawyer is calling everyone in the world, except the National Restaurant Association. You know, the only people who can negotiate the deal. So how much do you think they are going to offer the lawyer to release that NDA? (Non-Disclosure Agreement)
They also said the lawyer went to the press and NOT to the Restaurant Association. No request for a release from this agreement has been received by them. In fact they said they haven’t heard a word from this woman OR her lawyer whatsoever.
Just sent in another $100.00 for Herman Cain!
I’m pulling the race card, don’t be a racist and vote for Cain!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! that felt good!
Thank you Politico.
Precisely. Once a shake-down artist, always a shake-down artist. Sell to the highest bidder, and by golly, make the story juicy.
(snip from the original article)
Cain, who has been married to his wife Gloria for 43 years, did tell at least one campaign staffer this year about the possibility that claims of sexual harassment could surface, according to the aide. Cain, this person said, described a case in which he fired an employee in 1990s and the woman alleged sexual misconduct or harassment. Cain told the campaign staffer he had won the case and that the woman had paid his legal fees. The aide had no further details.
Don't yo love how Freepers, Conservatives and Tea Partiers have his back and run towards the metaphorical fire and not from it.
He has our back, we have his....Rove and the Beltways RINO's are reaching for the Kaopectate...

The money and support is pouring in for Herman Cain, but we cannot slow down now. Please help him by donating at http://www.hermancain.com/
Also to help join the buzz about Herman go to facebook.com and like him. In just the last week he has jumped 13% or 42000 with an impressive 10,000 in the last 24 hours. Make no mistake Karl Rove is watching Hermans likes and so is Romney who gained just 1500 since last Tuesday. THIS is the way to stick it to the GOP establishment! Please tell your family and friends to like Herman as well.
INTERESTING!
Thank you and please start a file so that you can spam post on every thread.
I want to know who’s campaign started this.
BOR and Crowley have both heard the rumors.
I have also heard one rumor on Imus yesterday morning from Craig Crawford.
Borrowing of arrows with straw boats
Prior to the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Cain Liang visited Sun Quan’s camp to assist Zhou Romney Yu. Zhou Romney Yu was jealous of Zhuge Cain Liang’s talent and felt that Zhuge would become a threat to his lord in future. He assigned Zhuge Cain Liang the task of making 100,000 arrows in ten days or face execution for failure in duties under military law. Zhuge Cain Liang promised that he could complete the mission in three days. With help from Lu Block Su, Zhuge Cain Liang prepared 20 large boats, each manned by a few soldiers and filled with human-like figures made of straw and hay.
At dawn, when there was a great fog, Zhuge Cain Liang deployed the boats and they sailed towards Cao Obama Cao’s camp across the river. He ordered the troops to beat war drums loudly and shout orders to imitate the noise of an attack. Upon hearing the noise, Cao Obama Cao’s troops rushed out to engage the enemy, but they were unsure of the enemy’s strength, because their vision was obscured by the fog. They fired volleys of arrows towards the sound of the drums and the arrows became stuck in the straw figures. In the meantime, Zhuge Cain Liang was enjoying wine with Lu Block Su inside the cabin and they returned to camp when the fog cleared. Zhuge Cain Liang acquired more than 100,000 arrows with his plan and Zhou Romney Yu had no choice but to let him off.

LOL--the perps were sloppy with the timing of the news release for this smear campaign. It coincided with the arrival of monthly income deposits.
Herman Cain hasn't disappointed us either. Yesterday he was fanning the flames by pointing fingers at Fannie, Freddie, Dodd & Frank.
