A former USAID worker claims Herman Cain asked her to set up dinner with a woman who attended a speech he gave in 2002, the Washington Examiner is reporting tonight.
The worker - 40-year-old Donna Donella, of Arlington - told the paper that the moment came after Cain gave a paid speech in Egypt that year. A woman in the crowd posed a query to Cain during the speech, the Examiner said. Continue Reading
Donella told them And after the seminar was over, Cain came over to me and a colleague and said, Could you put me in touch with that lovely young lady who asked the question, so I can give her a more thorough answer over dinner?
She was "suspicious of Cain's motives and delined to set up the date," the Examiner reporter wrote.
That prompted Cain to reply, "Then you and I can have dinner." Instead, some of Donella's co-workers suggested a group outing.

ROFL!
No he hasn’t he is just spouting the new talking point, “Cain is inept”.
It is framed a bit differently but it is posted so consistently across political forums, twitter, facebook and comment section of news stories, it is too much of a coincidence to believe that SO MANY people could have this exact same random opinion. Based on, well, nothing.
Someone had to backtrack pretty quick when the sexual harrasment story started unraveling - and decide to make the story about “Cain’s poor handling” of things. As well as “his numbers are dropping” That isn’t flying either. Thanks to the internet and social media, people can get facts and watch interviews for themselves.
The internet and social media may have just turned the tied against the complicit news media
me too! Good job, doug!

I'm not assigning guilt.
I AM saying the story has taken on enough life to sour enough voters...without regard to the veracity of the "accusations"...that he is toast.
I like Cain. I don't know if he did these things or not and I DON'T CARE.
Just commentary on the political reality of it.
As “Uncle Walter” Cronkite used to falsely say, “That’s the way it is.”
If correct, you have written the political obituary of Herman Cain. If more and more of these women keep coming out of the woodwork, the anti-Cain people will believe the tales and think they are "mostly true." There will be too much smoke to survive even if no flame.
Local joke, but a winner among the Arkansans.
In these cases of hearsay smears, lies, allegations, innuendos, etc., Cain has got to stand firm and fight back. Otherwise this will be the defacto strategy of the demoRATs to simply find some useful idiots who will “allege” that something happened years ago, and all of a sudden the conservative candidates is supposed to answer to hearsay attacks? We are in a war in this country against a cabal of evil comprised of demoRATs, unions, teacher unions, elitists, gays, perpetually aggrieved minorities. If we don’t fight back now, we are plunging toward the final destruction of our nation, courtesy of all those groups I just mentioned. Who would have thought that our nation would be destroyed like this? May God help us. I wish I had the power of Moses, I would afflict Biblical plagues upon every demoRAT constituency group, including 0dumb0 in the WH.
Ha! Just a regular girl.
So what did you think of the Cain presser ?
What I heard was terrific, but after the 3rd Q they switched back to Hannity.
