Consider this current trial as a TEST on Herman cain's mettle to handle political pressure ( He'll be facing GREATER PRESSURE as POTUS).
If he can pass this with flying colors, this is an indicator that he will make a strong leader.
If not, well, what to say? He was never meant to lead this country...
It is un-American.
He needs to tell them STFU, I can’t say anything.
Then the NYSlimes can surely find out what happened.
If this was a settlement and he has broken an agreement by saying anything, then he’s had it.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
The title alone is stupid enough to cause me not to read this. The media has been picking at him like a bunch of vultures. This question doesn’t even pertain to him, It is a question for the person who brought this accusation or for her lawyer. They are just dragging this out and it is making them look desperate. If you want to dig up some real dirt, how about finally vetting Obama?
Right, but I would stilll like to know who broke this story - who is behind all this distraction!
“Consider this current trial as a TEST on Herman cain’s mettle”
You are absolutely correct. So far, so good. He comes across so far as an innocent man. His innocence is the basis of his strength. If he has something to hide, he will become weak.
BTW...it appears that the 2nd woman made the claim after Cain had aleady left NRA..and he 1rst claim was settled. Sounds like the 2nd lady thought sh'e try and get a piece of the $$$.

She can legally break it and not have to pay back her payola?
( I guess she could and get $ reimbursement from the DNC.)
The women should speak and cause Cain trouble 12 years later only IF you don’t believe in the rule of law.
The confidentiality agreement was an agreement signed by the woman not to pursue any further litigation and in consideration of the termination of her employment with the Restaurant Associtaion. Mr. Cain was not a party to the agreement and has no authority over what the Restaurant Association may or may not decide on the issue. Most likely, the agreement would subject the woman to possible litigation if she violated it and from what I hear, her Attorney has not made any contact with the Association about a “release”.
You see folks if they speak without being released, and esp if Herman is not elected president:
They can be liable to pay out every penny they make on this AND in the legal action Herman will find out everyone who paid and encouraged them.
He should say the agreement is the law, the women should make their own decisions aided by their lawyers. End of story. Rule of law.
I’d like to hear what the precise allegations were by these two women. I suspect, but of course do not know, that if made known, the allegations would pale compared to what the media want to imagine they are. If the actual claims were publicized, I doubt anyone except the truly hateful, would claim that their identity needed to be revealed.
Unless the claims are that Mr. Cain touched someone in an appropriate way, or propositioned someone, or demanded sex in exchange for job benefits, the press should uniformly apologize to him— not that that would ever happen.
If, on the other hand, the allegations are more serious, then further investigation may be warranted.
Why is this Cain’s decision. If the woman wants to break the agreement, and deal with the consequences, then she should go ahead. If not, she should STFU. But in either case, why is it Herman Cain’s place to decide for her?
I just read several posts over at DU expressing the opinion that the MSM is going way overboard covering this [Cain/allegations] story. One even said Cain is getting the ‘Dean scream treatment’. If even DUers are fed up w all the media hype, the backfire is complete.
I’m curious to know the race of the accusers. Wouldn’t surprise me if they were fearful of a black man. And if they are white what are their views on race?
What she does is her problem, not his.
