In case you failed to read the full article, Perry has people working for him who helped Cain in 2003-04 when he tried a Senate bid. Thus Cain told one of the guys, who is in a Republican-leaning consulting firm hired by Gov. Rick Perry’s presidential campaign, in 2003 about the 1999 harassment situation. Cain thinks it is this guy, Curt Anderson, who leaked details to Politico. Cain recalls briefing Anderson in 2003.

Cain’s camp points to the timing of Anderson’s hiring by Perry as evidence of his involvement. The campaign announced Anderson’s hiring on October 24, just a week before the story.

Again, the Perry campaign announced the hiring of Curt Anderson on October 24. Politico contacted the Cain campaign on October 19, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn Politico had been working on the story before October 19. Cain had better have more evidence than timing to back up his claim that this came from the Perry campaign.

When first released, Politico said: “The first woman was identified to POLITICO by a former association board member”

When did Curt Anderson work as a board member for the Nation Restaurant Association?

Also Politco first had enough together to ask Cain about it starting October 19. Curt Anderson didn't go to work for Perry until October ~23.
