YEA!!!!!

CAN WE ALL SAY DISCOVERY.

The Supremes have ruled that sources are protected IIRC.

but, those records will not be.

GO FOR IT.

[Clara Lou]

I don’t know about this strategy....

[boomop1]

Just do it geterdone.

[frogjerk]

A Herman Cain aide said Thursday that the Cain campaign is considering its legal options over the original Politico story,

Well, I guess that sums it up by the press' logic. Politico must be guilty because Cain is "considering" filing a lawsuit.

[Parley Baer]

“which hasn’t gone particularly well for Cain since the story broke Sunday night.”

Well compost, the polls say otherwise. You clowns can go pound salt along with your buddies over at the politico.

America: Innocent until accused or considered being accused by an anonymous party

[Sacajaweau]

Baloney....

[normy]

10-1 Cain is once again blustering. Was he joking? Inquiring minds want to know.

[cblue55]

Go for it!

[Brilliant]

If so then Cain needs new advisors. Thesr guys are seeming more and more amateurish.

[opentalk]

The whole issue isn't about Cain, the media will smear any conservative candidate gaining in the polls. Innuendos, rumors, anything it takes to knock them out of the running.

Jounolist type group attack, also diverts the news cycle away from Crime Inc.

[Kaslin]

They should sue Politico for at least $20 billion plus in damages

[bigbob]

I dunno, probably smart to rattle this saber, but I think he’d be better off leaving it in the scabbard. This will all blow over in another week or so, and a lawsuit would keep it in the news.

[katiedidit1]

Who is the Cain aide? name?

Whenever Team Romney had rumors they wanted to start about other candidates,
Jonathan Martin has been their go-to guy to get those rumors in writing in front of a national audience.

“And The Most Irresponsible Journalist Award Goes to The Politico’s Jonathan Martin!
So tell me, how do you write a “news” story about an organization paying for a speaker when you don’t even know if the organization is paying for the speaker?
Ask “journalist” Jonathan Martin. He knows all about it.
You see, Jonny wrote a piss poor story the other day about how the Iowa Family Policy Center will be paying a large speaker fee if Sarah Palin comes to Iowa to keynote the IFPC’s fall funderaiser.
The only problem is that Jonny has no sources confirming that any exorbitant fee is being charged or paid.
Jonny also got some inside info from David Kochel, who was a top aide to former (and future) presidential candidate, Mitt Romney.
Hey Dave, didn’t I just read a story about how Mitt Romney tried to buy off the Iowa Christian Alliance?
I heard you helped facilitate that little scheme. And somehow you are shocked at the thought of a well-known political figure (who very likely isn’t running for president) getting paid a speaker’s fee for (gasp) a public speaking appearance? ..
and then we’ve got Tim Albrecht quoted. He was the Iowa spokesman for Romney’s 2008 caucus campaign.”
And it always seemed like, whenever the Romney people had rumors they wanted to start about other candidates,
Jonny was their go-to guy to get those rumors in writing in front of a national audience.

[Rome2000]

Politico cited “multiple sources independently familiar with the matter” and said the woman in question was “livid”

He was just explaining 9-9-9 and his position on abortion.

Makes me livid too.

One thing I see is that Cain would be making a terrible mistake if all this hubbub were true.

For some reason, he has not backed out. That is what I would expect a guilty person to do.

I am not sure Cain is the right guy. What I am sure of is that so far, I have not been shown proof that the charges are true.

If anyone is out there that wants to prove Cain is somehow guilty of what he is allegedly accused of, they need to come forth and duke it out with Cain in the public arena.

If they are too cowardly to do that, Cain wins. And that does not mean he should be President. It means that what he is accused of has no standing.

[lonevoice]

"A Herman Cain aide"..."a campaign official"

I'm calling bullsh!t on anymore anonymously-sourced stories having anything to do with this.

[dforest]

Birds of a feather flock together.
