Given that dozena of people in Washington knew of these allegations from Cain’s days as the head of the National Restaurant Association (I know because we know an outside lobbyist for that association and have for years and his wife told my wife that these allegations were going to come out weeks and weeks before the Politico article) what you say we know proves exactly nothing and is far from likely. Washington gossip is pernicious and the people inclined to use it most readily are the desparate characters surrounding the One in the Oval Office. Niether Governor Perry nor Governor Romney would have the same access to prevalant Washington gossip whereas the One in the Oval Office and his folks could not avoid being aware of it.
Perry’s Kurt worked for Cain back in 2003 or thereabouts.
Cain himself told Perry’s Kurt of these charges.
Cain knows that the Perry campaign knows this stuff.
Perry’s Kurt denied being the source, and Cain accepted that.
But that’s as close a tie, a 100% proven tie.
And standard operating procedure for the Perry campaign is to lie.
In addition, this.
