Herman Cain’s Top Iowa Organizers: ‘The Story Has Made Some People Angry’
ABC News ^ | 11.4.2011 | staff

URBANDALE, Iowa — Herman Cain’s Iowa state director thumbed through a stack of supporter sign-up forms at the campaign’s headquarters here, telling ABC News that the sexual harassment allegations that have rocked the Cain campaign this week have actually been a “catalyst” in this state.

Larry Tuel, who runs Cain’s campaign in Iowa, said that the endless stream of news stories on Cain’s alleged misbehavior toward women have attracted new supporters and emboldened existing ones.

“The story has made some people angry,” Tuel said in an interview on Thursday. “We think that people want to show their support for Mr. Cain. I think the average Iowan that’s supporting Mr. Cain or any candidate sees through this story, sees that there is nothing to it and that they’re out in droves to support Mr. Cain.”

I hope this is the case too. Maybe people are beginning to get tired of being treated by the MSM as stupid fools who will believe anything with a byline.

Thanks for the link. I bookmarked it. It’s the most complete outing of Romney I’ve seen, and it has links to sources.

I'm sorry I don't waste my time respecting shameless liars. Your comments about Cain demonstrate clearly you have no idea of his record. Yet you claim to have studied him

Apparently you are too stupid to know what CEO means.

Well, I do know what afirmative action means.

So, stop calling me names when I voice my honest opinion.

I think you are racist for believing Mr. Cain needed quotas to achieve his success. I called you a dolt for even bringing up such a stupid supposition. If you are offended so be it.

You are just throwing around the "affirmative action" label without understanding Cain's background. A Bachelors degree in Mathematics, following by a Masters degree in Computer Science require a fine mind and a lot of hard work. Affirmative action would not have cut it.

His experience in corporate leadership, especially the successful corporate turnaround experience is probably a big plus for leading the country through this dire economic mess. We have to get out of this financial hole if we are to have any successful "foreign policy".

The Rea Sea Crossing, God set Pharaoh up to chase after the Israelites to pursue them into the Red Sea.

Cain's enemies used these accusations to go after him, and now they got beaten and are in retreat.

“After looking carefully at his record, I have decided that Barack Obama got where he is today thru affirmative action.
He has no real experience in foreign relations or decision making policies at all.”

There, fixed it.
