I just sent a contribution to Cain campaign more than double of my previous contribution.
There are 5 allegations.
3 of them are anonymous.
4th is from Chicago who has bankruptcies, paternity suits, in her bio and lives in the same building as Axelrod.
5th is now working in Obama admin, and has history of filing complaints at other jobs.
One of the anonymous includes a woman whose only complain is he asked another woman for dinner and then left her a $800 wine bill and made no sexual overtures.
Why no allegations surfaced during Cain’s last campaign for senator? Why nothing surfaced when he was far behind in presidential nomination polls? Why did they surface only after he became a threat to win the nomination? Who is scared of a Cain nomination? Why all of these women wait 14 years? Why no police report was filed after alleged sexual groping?
#1 is the woman identified as Mrs. Krauharr who not works in the Obama Administration and was one of two women who had filed sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain at the NRA.
#2 is a still unidentified woman who worked for the NRA and made a sexual harassment charge against Herman Cain while employed by the NRA.
#3 is a anonymous woman who contacted Politico by the name of Sharon. She alleged Herman Cain had assaulted her.
#4 is Sharon Bialek who is represented by Gloria Allred. On one of the morning shows Sharon Bialek was asked if she had contacted any other attorneys before Gloria Allred. Before she could answer Gloria Allred interrupted and claimed that questions was irrelevant. This has lead people to speculate that perhaps Sharon Bialek was also victim #3 who had called Politico to ask how she could tell her story.
#5 is claims that Cain after given a speech where a woman asked a question at during the Q&A session. Cain had approached the organizer to inquire if she could introduce Cain to the woman who ask the question so that he might have dinner with her to discuss her question in more detail. The organizer indicated that she thought that was not a good idea. Cain then asked the organizer if she would like to go to dinner with him. The organizer went but took another woman with her. Cain had dinner with the two women and the organizer indicated that there was no inappropriate behavior at all on Cain's part during dinner. However, Cain did order two bottles of wine at $400 a bottle and left, leaving the organizer to pay the tab.
It seems to be a she said, he said allegation. However, if you google some of these accusers’ history there is a lot of history on their behavior that seems to repeat itself in every place they have been employed.
I hope Herman Cain can survive this character assassination by words.
USA Today says only 3.
