I thought the same thing. But then I've thought Cain acted guilty from the beginning -- the first Politico story. And I used to do the HR investigations for charges like these. Cain's answers to the media from Day 1 were just all wrong.
When I first read Lin Wood’s response it didn’t sit well with me either until I read it a couple of more times. My take, I think Woods was basically saying that Cain would not respond to allegations of this type.
They trotted out several people (annonymous and otherwise) that didn’t seem credible. The media demanded an explanation and had a feeding frenzy. But, it didn’t seem to hurt Cain. His fall came from his own inability to articulate his positions on foreign affairs and a “gotcha” Candy Crowley interview this weekend.
Someone smells blood and they think they can put Cain out of the race for good with the latest bimbo eruption. Maybe they will, but I think what Wood was saying is that there will be NO RESPONSE to this and anything else. A preemptive strike, if you will, against this and other alleged acts.
I don’t know if he did or he didn’t. In hearing him talk over the course of the campaign, I would be surprised if he did. As for motive, the woman was just served with an eviction notice last week and if she didn’t have money to pay her current rent, It’s highly unlikely she has the money to move. So, there is a strong motivation for her.
Further, she has a judgement pending from another lawsuit and if she is unemployed with two kids, winter coming, and no place to live...well what would you do?
For all those on this thread who are quick to accept every word of every accuser that has been trotted out to derail Cain, please do not appear for jury duty because obviously facts mean nothing to you and also check you Enquirer subscriptions, they may be ready to expire.
If she has the goods on him, it will be known in short order. If not, then all those who have been quick to judge have no complaint when smears, lies, and slanders happen not to their candidate, but to themselves.
