Oklahoma political consultant Chris Wilson says if the woman behind the reported sexual harassment complaint against GOP Presidential hopeful Herman Cain is allowed to speak publicly, it'll be the end of Cain's run for the White House.
Interviewed today on KTOK's Mullins in the Morning, Wilson, of Wilson-Perkins-Allen Opinion Research headquartered in Washington, D.C. explained he was a witness to the incident. "I was the pollster at the National Restaurant Association when Herman Cain was head of it and I was around a couple of times when this happened and anyone who was involved with the NRA at the time, knew that this was gonna come up."

How old is Chris Wilson? 20 years ago? Was he still in highschool?
I don’t care if Cain has sex with goats...I’ll still vote for him.
We’ve reached that point as a nation.
And that proves what????
It would only bind those who signed it. I can see no reason why this dude would be required to sign anything. I deal with NDAs everyday and his statement is absurd.
“working directly for Karl Rove...”
Now we might have a better idea where this story came from since we know Rove is all in for Romney.
Perhaps he told an off-color joke to a group of people that she was a part of.
Probably something stupid that only an oversensitive twit would be offended by.
You happen to know what Governor Lush does for a hangover?
Perry certainly has the most to gain by Cain's numbers going down. I doubt Romney would gain much support from those folks departing the Cain bandwagon. If it is Romney who leaked this, he will be toast. If Perry leaked this he really has nothing to lose. If Obama leaked the story he has nothing to lose and everything to gain no matter how things play out.
Has an office in Austin, you can bet he has an account with perry.
UGH! I knew it. I hate Perry AND Romney with a passion. I used to think that they were just idiots but now I see they are just vicious frauds.
He looks young in the pics. But on his website he says he’s married w/ two kids.
re:”... anyone who was involved with the NRA at the time, knew that this was gonna come up.....”
“.....Information about the incidents was apparently closely held, even among association board members. But one woman’s complaint apparently did make its way to at least some figures on the governing board when, at an association event, one board member got word that a female employee had complained about Cain’s advances, according to a source who was at the event.
(snip)
Ron Magruder, Denise Marie Fugo and Joseph Fassler, the chairman, vice chairwoman and immediate past chairman of the National Restaurant Association board of directors at the time of Cain’s departure, said they hadn’t 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. “He’s very gracious.”
Fassler, who helped bring Cain on board as CEO of the restaurant association, said any inappropriate behavior was not brought to his attention and that he would be upset to learn it had gone on and he was not made aware of it.
“That’s a shock to me,” Fassler said. “As an officer during all of Herman’s years there as a paid executive … none of that stuff ever surfaced to me. Nobody ever called me, complained about this, nor did I ever hear that from Peter Kilgore, nor did I ever hear that from Herman Cain.”
Fassler — who ran a Phoenix food-service company and finished his term as chairman the month before Cain’s June 1999 departure but remained on the board’s executive committee — described Cain as treating men and women identically and asserted it was “not within his character” to make unwanted advances. “It’s not what I know of him,” Fassler said.
Much like Fassler, almost all board members remember Cain fondly and say he left on good terms.
Cain was “extremely professional” and “fair” to female staffers at the restaurant association, recalled Lee Ellen Hayes, who said she “worked fairly closely with” Cain in the late 1990s, when she was an executive at the National Restaurant Association Education Fund, a Chicago-based offshoot of the group.
Cain’s treatment of women was “the same as his treatment of men. Herman treated everyone great,” said Mary Ann Cricchio, who was elected to the board of the restaurant group in 1998. She said Cain left such a good impression on the organization that when he spoke at a group event in January of this year, as he was considering a presidential bid, “he had unanimous support in the room.”
Revelations about the settlements come as members of the association’s board planned to meet this month to talk about ways to use the organization’s clout to boost Cain’s campaign...”
He was also associated with the Republican Party of Texas.
Could also be Rove.
Bad mental image.
Wilson served as Executive Director of the Republican Party of Texas when President George W. Bush was governor, working directly for Karl Rove, and following Karen Hughes when she left the Party to join the campaign.
He is one of Rove's Goons
LOL--you two are Baaaaaad!
LOL! Just a few years ago he was Rove - the magnificent bastard.
