As for Cain, he may indeed have been "trolling the water" back then. If he was "stepping out" it was a pretty stupid thing to do given his position. Middle-aged men do stupid things especially if drinking is involved - many of us have been there, have learned and are the wiser for it. Asking someone up to a hotel room should be obvious enough to the woman. Her saying no should be the end of it for both of them. But if there are allegations of her not receiving a promotion because she refused him, it could serve as a basis for a sexual harassment charge.
Just like the blog poster, this is all speculation. But the fact AP knows her identity and chooses to respect her privacy now does not mean her name will not be given to Politico or some other DC blog or even the Obama campaign to use against Cain if he recovers his poling numbers. In fact, I would bet they already know who she is.
